This has become a major theme of my travel sketches. These ones were done on the way to and back from Stony Point.
That is my bike in the foreground when I was leaving Melbourne. The two girls moved their hands to the music they were listening to.

Below is the on-the-spot sketch I did of these four happy young cyclists on the ferry from Stony Point to French Island. (I was continuing to Phillip Island. As well as their bikes they had a heap of camping gear. I gave them this quick sketch and Ben (with pony tail) sent back the digital copy so I could include it here. This was only a five-minute sketch as by the time I decided to draw them there was not much time before they disembarked.

Below is my revamp. I actually met them on the Stony Point train, after our adventures. I took their photo which gave me something else to work with.Left to right: Pierre, Kai, Bob and Jess
My trousers ad jocks fell off my bike baggage and off the pier. A fisherman retrieved the trousers, but the jocks vanished.
I might be 66 but that does not stop me cycling around and camping relatively rough. Organized tours and hotels were never my thing. Phillip Island has been a life-long holiday destination for me. Here is yet another collection of my sketchbook reports.
The first two picks depict the return, by ferry, from Phillip Island. Using the Velcro strap I secured the bike to the railing and nervously watched the bike roll forwards and back.
There will be more to follow.
