A group of 8 members ventured to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre to see “Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius Exhibition“. Our booking was at 10am, so we all boarded the 7.39am train from Wendouree to get there on time. The early rise at this time of year is always invigorating 😉 Anyway, the train trip into town was uneventful, so a coffee stop first, then a gentle stroll on to Jeff’s Shed.
Exploring the life of history’s greatest creative genius, it is hard to put into words what Leonardo da Vinci actually achieved, as it seemed that he was capable of doing almost anything. Artist, inventor, scientist, philosopher and musician, Leonardo da Vinci transcends his era. Not only did he create masterpieces never surpassed for their beauty, technique and anatomical accuracy; his pioneering contributions in architecture, engineering and flight, laid the foundations for many modern innovations, making his influence more profound and far-reaching than anyone who has followed.
On to lunch, where we were joined by Esma & Wally, as well as Kevin & Noreen’s sister-in-law, Theresa, at the Boatbuilders yard.
We were certainly spoiled with the weather, as it was a beautiful, sunny, windless day, so after lunch it was a gentle stroll back to Southern Cross, and head for home. Thanks to all that came along, making the day even more enjoyable.
