Mornington Peninsula Van

Captured on a bright Australian summer afternoon in January, this photograph freezes a moment of summer ease on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. The van—an impeccably preserved VW Type 2—was parked in quiet defiance of time, its pastel orange shell radiating warmth beneath an endless Southern sky. No crowds, no clutter. Just clean retro geometry against the corrugated rhythm of a tin-roofed shed. There’s a stillness that belies motion, a kind of invitation to linger. To imagine who drove it. Or where it might go next.

Printed on gallery-wrapped canvas using archival inks, this piece is built to last. Ideal for spaces that need a pop of color, a hit of nostalgia, or just a reminder that some of the best moments on the road aren’t about going anywhere at all.
