Sketching at Bundoora Homestead

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.

Meetup Details:

We'll be meeting at the centre entrance at 11:00am before making our way to the Cafe (adjacent to the exhibition entrance.) I've booked a 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:)
