Arriving on King Island after a week of cruising up the West Coast, it was great to be here. I have a cottage in the heart of Currie and it is a ten minute walk to the Art and Cultural centre down at the wharf. The day after I arrived a local coffee van was set up and the Gallery was open. It was a busy morning of meeting the locals and drinking coffee. Andrew and Dianne Blake were introducing me to everyone and showing me around. They showed me a boathouse which is across the bay that is set up as a restaurant where you can bring your own food. A local artist Caroline Kininmonth has set it up for everyone to use. I spent the rest of the day exploring the coastline nearby, following a road known as the Kelp Track, the name is obvious and there is plenty to explore.

Rusty things on coast… not a shipwreck as I first thought.
