'Peter had a Volkswagen, which he drove from Adelaide to Sydney. I made it red. It was actually a rather horrible sort of mustard. A lot of the Sydney Harbour pictures I did were around the suburb of Greenwich, where I grew up, because Shell’s giant gas cylinders in that area were very graphic, and there were lots of ships that came in and out—it was a fabulous bush-combined-with-industry subject. You could park at the end of a street called Vista Street, and there I drew through the windscreen, looking at the harbour and the tanks. It was a simple composition, but it was punchy. John Brack did a great painting of some people in a car, and I was inspired by that.'
