In 1993 we moved from the small property at Mount Compass to 100 acres at Currency Creek, near Goolwa, SA.  I have described the motivation for this piece on the 'Fences' Page.

Throughout all this period I had been painting all morning and then putting in an afternoon at the office, which was in Mount Compass, a very small country town. Although we were well known in the community I avoided talking about painting, but I did hang Urban Street in my husband, Ken's office and this one in reception, behind my head. One day, the local 'artist' came in and said, "Ah, I see you've been studying under Jeffrey Smart," and I very nearly killed him. I had, incidentally, never heard of JS at that time and had avoided going to exhibitions or looking at 'Art' in any form for the previous 22 years. I had hoped to start again with a clean brain. Then the bank manager's understudy came in and subsequently said,  "I've been looking at your paintings, they're quite good, you know. They might even have been done by a professional."

This is now a family joke.
