"RESTORATION ISLAND"
My friend Tom went on an expedition to a paradisal island. Tom's trip was inspired by a painting created by a friend from the sixties, Mick Glasheen. This is the painting which led to the expedition to see the real bar and Dave Glasheen on the island off far far North Queensland.
While he was there Tom made a little film about the place and about Mick's brother Dave Glasheen.
Here's the link to the Vimeo which I can't get to embed properly:

Tom has also sent me these notes about his friend Mick Glasheen whom I met through Tom in the late sixties:
Mick Glasheen is a legendary creator I met in Sydney in the sixties. I only know half of his interests but here are some of them:
Mick escorted Buckminster Fuller in Australia and made a psychedelic video of the lecture Bucky gave here.
He was one of the people who formed OZ magazine when it began in Sydney.
With his time lapse camera Mick explored crystal formation and the moving patterns of the Australian bush.
He was the first to use digital technology to create movie titles.
He was the principal mover of 'Bush Video' and carried the recording equipment on a wheelbarrow to Uluru.
He is a unique artist of the Northern beaches land/seascape.
And a hell of a lot more.
Many thanks Tom,
