To commemorate Henry Lawson, Grenfell hosts the annual Henry Lawson Festival June long weekend. Grenfell is situated in the Weddin Shire in central New South Wales, and is near Canberra, Dubbo, Bathurst and Wagga (approximately 2 hours from each town). Grenfell has maintained its character of historic buildings throughout the town. During the long weekend I sketched mainly children that enjoyed the festival and their cartoon portraits to take home.
Sustainable art, handmade goods, and local talent lined along the pathway at Narooma NSW near Wagonga Inlet. The 14th April was the start of the children’s holidays in NSW.
