Alighted at Laverton Station and walked to the trail that runs the Laverton Creek. The beginning of our journey was not a pleasant one; our senses being dominated by the crude sounds of traffic along the freeway, and overhead aircraft associated with tullamarine airport. The noise however was to be short lived, as we persevered along the trail, eventually, only the sounds of the water gently rippling and the calls of so many different types of birds were our reward. Egrets, plovers, ibis, black swans, pardalotes, swallows, pacific ducks, cormorants.......and the best part was, no one else was in sight. I took the opportunity to sit by the laverton creek and managed a quick 10 minute sketch, and another when we reached doug grant reserve in altona.
