This painting depicts my two sons and a friend fishing for 'Toadies' on a still morning after camping overnight on French Island in Western Port Bay, Victoria. The much loved old wooden boat depicted was used by these boys for many years, until deemed unsafe. It was built in about 1935 at San Remo, Philip Island and during its working life was used as a cray fishing boat working in close to the rocky ocean shore along coast around Port Philip and Westernport.
