Cabarita Hill littoral rainforest is a small, unique, and critically endangered coastal rainforest remnant located on top of a sand and rocky outcrop. The clifftop position and low windswept canopy make it distinct, and the area is of high conservation value and protected underFederal Law. Littoral rainforest is a forest community that occurs within 2 kilometres of the sea and is dominated by rainforest plants. Huge tracts of littoral rainforest on the TweedCoast were reduced firstly by logging and then clearing and mining to extract minerals from the beach sand.
I was fortunate enough to win second place in the 2023 Ocean Shores Art Expo. The
judges’ comments were :“The judges were impressed by the sensitive portrayal of the littoral space adjacent to the beach and rainforest. A keenly observed landscape that is wonderfully worked in terms of the detailed treatment of diverse foliage and flowering trees.” I was very pleased with these comments, as it is exactly how I want people to view this painting.
