(f)route CARTography has been funded by the Regional Arts Fund.
(It's a major part of the whole (f)route project. )
"(f)route CARTography will bring artists and fruitists together across East Gippsland to explore the art of cultural MAPPING through our knowledge of fruit and our life around it."
Come and celebrate at the next (f)route breakfast - Sunday 4 December @ Picnic Point Farm.

(f)route breakfast - 1 June at Burnt Bridge
If anyone would like to join a small group of (f)routers ...
We are kicking off our idea of gathering on the 1st of every month, somewhere fruity.
We need to decide what to do with our first lot of funding (how to proceed with mapping and story gathering).
And who is interested in creating (f)route carts (so I can write more funding submissions.. ?)
It might only be a very small gathering. But that's ok - we are all keen on chatting and getting started. I'm sure we'll gather momentum as we get into a routine and the idea takes shape and the art begins to get made.
so - our first 8.30am breakfast on 1 June will be at Josephine Jakobi's family's old Bee Farm near Burnt Bridge. Her directions follow.
Hope a few of you can make it. We have Polenta Cake and coffee, and sourdough and jam to share. And we'll be there early to light a fire.
(ps we have a back up plan to meet at Le Cafe in Bruthen if the weather is foul, so please let us know if you are coming, so we know who to contact if plans change!)
Josie's directions:
oh, and I have just remembered......
The orange tree is a seedling orange (not grafted) Therefore if one was to grow a tree from its seeds, they should be true to the parent tree and turn out the same. My mum was very proud of this and was always trying to get me to plant one.

Josie's directions:
To the Bee Farm: Turn down the Burnt Bridge Road that is closer to Lakes Entrance, not the end that is closer to Nowa Nowa.. Take the right fork onto Petersens Track. At the next fork, go left down Byrne's Track and left again when the option is to the Long Point.
The Orange Tree is a little way down the paddock.
The orange tree was planted by my great grandmother, a long time ago. It is part of an old orchard that is in serious decline. Really not much left but that and a few matted old fig trees.
The orange tree has a long tradition in our family of being the place to wander too on a sunny day when one feels like sitting for a while on the hillside.

the (f)route road trip
Well - the Road Trip was great - I just hadn't factored in the bad internet coverage 2km out of Orbost!
But luckily I had my trusty camera, so when words fail - photos will do the trick!
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set=a.1950881410835.118174.1206619056
You can see the photos we took in Simon Thorpe's fab orchard, and his fruit fly fighting technique; beside Kim Gordon's espaliered fruit tree (not to mention her stunning textiles); in Jan and David Pitman's lounge room after their big Landcare day in Cann River; on Suzie Bady's porch at Cabbage Tree Creek - and her fruit on the stove; us at Cape Conran, then enroute to Goongerah; where we were given a fruit press demo; a guided tour at Egg Rock Nursery by Jarrod Ruch; heading for Warm Corners at Cabanandra; where Deb Foskey had apples in the oven, watermelon on the block; and quinces in the pan; then we braved the road to McKillops Bridge and an overflowing Little River Gorge, Gelantipy; Seldom Seen; and WTree; afternoon tea with the Buddhists at Siba and lastly to the WWOOF office - oh and a final roadside stop at the wild olive tree in Buchan.

An East Gippsland (f)route project
FRUITISTS (fruit growers, fruiterers and fruit-loving artists) REQUIRED
The East Gippsland Arts Alliance & Red Tractor Art are developing an arts project called (f)route. And it’s all about fruit. Local, public, wild fruit.
And it needs artists and fruitists to make it all happen.
(f)route will explore the East Gippsland places that embrace localism - embracing their smallness, remoteness and resourcefulness. Communities that know 'their place', and 'their produce'.
We are proposing an arts project that will pay homage to the importance 'going local' - through the geography, history, and traditions of each location's fruit.
The artistic outcomes of the project will be a series of installations (FROUTE CARTS), an interactive map of stories and images (FROUTE CART-OGRAPHY), and an exhibition of artist-made maps which will provide an artist's interpretation of East Gippsland fruit.
