Join Franlins Coaches on a fully escourted tour of open studios around Scamander, St Marys and Four Mile Creek, as well as delving into an open garden at Falmouth, lunch at White Sands and viewing the Bay of Fires Youth Art Prize Exhibition.

The Saturday tour will take take us to many places, we'll meander through the minature village of 'Boppard' - a 1:15 complete scale outdoor village, travel with us to St Marys and meet acrylics artists Lynne Dawes along with sculpturist John McColl and gypsy inspired ceramicist/painter Alizon Whitestar-McColl.

Enjoy lunch overlooking the ocean at White Sands Estate before viewing the Bay of Fires Youth Art Prize exhibition.

Further explore Four Mile Creek and we'll be welcomed with open arms at Arthaus Gallery, the outdoor sculpture garden of Klaas Oosterloo - whilst we are there we'll have the opportunity to meet his wife Deborah and view her working studio where her oil paintings and ink drawings come to life.

Headed north to Falmouth we save exploring the private garden of Anne and Mark Bennett. This relaxed coastal garden is just metres from the ocean front and is a showcase of what can be done with sandy soil and a limited water supply. Featuring many 'outdoor rooms' and weathered, rustic elements, this garden is a true highlight. Plants and worm juice will also be for sale!

To complete our day, we have saved 'Pepperwood' and a tour of Paul Frater's Winifred's View Garden for last. Resident artist Kerry Agius is constantly having her works exhibited around Australia and has previously run two successful galleries. Kerry's love of contasting colour and illustrative style is evident in the flowers, fish and nature that is prolific in her work.
