Ali is an 11-year-old Straddie girl who enjoys going to the beach and collecting treasures for her artwork.  Her natural surroundings inspire her drawings and paintings of fauna and flora.  Ali and her brother (Mason) help each other to create miniature, wooden surfboards.  Ali has fun drawing the designs on the surfboards.

Mason is a 12-year-old Straddie boy who enjoys working with wood. Mason is always searching for pieces with interesting shapes or textures whether it’s on the beach, in the bush or salvaged from old furniture.  Each piece of wood has its own charm! Mason spends lots of his time carving, building, sanding and hand polishing his creations.
