If you want summer to linger longer then spend more time amid these exhibitions. Here you can view a variety of seascapes, find small treasures, be in the company of friendly folk, and let your imagination drift away, all without having to worry about sunburn.

Ballantine's photographic images take us across sand dunes, along the water line and into the surf, with obvious affection. There is a strong sense of terra firma losing its essence to the ebb tide and majestic sky in Cable Beach 1 & 2. Meanwhile close up shots of heads bobbing in heaving waves and families playing in shallow  white water provide that sense of anonymous companionship found at the beach. These images fascinate as they attest to the photographer's sensitivity to his subject and keen eye for composition. However the added process of digital printing detracts from the sense of immediacy photography often provides while the grainy print on a matt surface diminishes the value contrasts and sense of reflected light, so important to black and white photography.

The variety of colour in rhythmic patterns invites the viewer to Gordon's depictions of the sea in its many moods. A full wall matting of different sized canvases take us from the mists of Avalon, through the Straits of Magellan to a water washed Atoll. We find our view shifting about from one coloured canvas to another enjoying the subtle nuances. Then we stop to linger and consider the cosmic tides and glittering sands in two renditions of Black Beach.

Sadlo presents a treasure trove of ocean-side collectibles in ceramic sculptural reliefs. Sea washed shells, sand smoothed stones and all sorts of 'stuff' worth picking up during a morning snorkel or evening stroll are finely represented in stoneware or porcelain and fired in saggar pots containing seaweed. The exhibits provide interest in texture, shape and colour but more than that, they evoke the same sense of excited curiosity in the viewer as finding the treasure does for the one who picks it up. But what is most interesting about this exhibition is how each exhibit, whether it represents a found object or the space left empty by its removal, seems to hold its own memory as well as create a new one for the collector/viewer.

Collections of shells, coral, bark, seeds, feathers and other detritus found at the beach, in the bush and backyards provide the subject for Leech's works. These meticulous watercolour compositions are excellent studies of texture, details and colour found in her subjects, arranged in collective compositions that allow each object its own space. Birkett too offers realistic images familiar to anyone who has visited West Coat beaches and Rottnest Island. His cool, crisp acrylic beachscapes of blue and turquoise seas and sharply defined shadows on white and golden sand will appeal to many.

This collection of interesting and refreshing summertime exhibitions will provide a different level of enjoyment for each viewer. But don't wait for a rainy day.
