Sketching at Bundoora Homestead
Details
Hey Guys,
For this event, we'll be sketching at Bundoora Homestead. A Queen Anne Federation styled, heritage home built in 1900 on Wurundjeri grounds by John Matthews and Vincent Smith. The property had previously served as a family home and repatriation facility before being refurbished as a public gallery in 2001.
Current Exhibitions:
- Amala Groom - Does she know the Revolution is coming?
- Sammaneh Pourshafighi - You, Me and Everything around us
- Hootan Heydari - Remembering to Forget
Meetup Details:
We'll be meeting at the centre entrance at 12:00 before making our way to the Cafe (adjacent to the exhibition entrance.) I've booked the window table for 11 people. You guys can chill, draw, have something to eat/drink, and soak in the view of the Mansion gardens before viewing the exhibition upstairs. Or if you want, do it the other way around.
If you're looking to eat something substantial, I highly recommend having lunch beforehand as the cafe only serves light refreshments
Public Transport and Parking:
Route 86 tram
You can get off either at Mt Cooper Dr or Greenwood Dr to get to the homestead.
Mt Cooper Dr (quicker route in my opinion)
- Turn Right onto Mt Cooper Dr
- Turn Left at Boadle Rd
- Turn Right on JV Smith Street (no through Road)
- Walk Right on Snake Gully Dr till you see a wooden gate, the main entrance is accessible from there.
Greenwood Dr:
- Turn Right onto Greenwood Dr and continue straight down the pathway near the cricket grounds till you see the homestead.
Parking:
- Parking is located directly in front of the venue and it's free :)
Looking forward to meeting you guys there :)
