Arts in the regions are alive and thriving as I found when I dropped into the Mulga Lands Art Gallery in Charleville. The Flying Arts Alliance has supported artists in the bush for 50 years and this year’s awards exhibition was opened over the weekend. The 2020 theme was ‘decadence’ explored in the artists medium- both in the times of plenty and in times of shortage. The awards are highly respected and the winning works will tour the Qld regional galleries. Chanel Lucas, formerly of Women in Docs, guided me through the gallery and this years touring exhibition.

Congratulations to young Spanish illustrator and artist Constanca Duarte,  @a_inconstancia for completing her street-art collection painted on electrical boxes in Porto. Artists are brightening up the streets of Porto with their work. 
Constanca fears the character of Porto is being lost due to pressures from tourism and her art is her way of keeping Portuguese tradition alive.
It’s tough making a living as an artist, no less so in Porto, good luck Constanca! #ainconstancia

Dick and Nicola from Holland are walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino with their best mates, four dogs. They started the 270km pilgrimage with three pooches but adopted the fourth after it was hit by a car and left for dead. Walking the Camino with dogs takes planning and patience, this team has both and the rewards are life changing

Walking the Camino with man’s best friends 

Walking the Portuguese Camino gives you plenty of time to think, get fit and chat with people from all over the world. It was rainy and we were dodging a bit of traffic on the narrow roads when I met Patricia an Occupational Therapist from Lisbon. She works with dementia and Alziemer’s disease clients. She provides hope for patient and carers. Her advice- help is available, so don’t hide
