An almost Alice in Wonderland tea and coffee party centred on Glen Iris Oval and the Eric Raven Reserve in Glen Iris, with the broad 'Big Dipper' sweep of High Street curving across the foreground. All this activity occurs on top of a 150s or 60s laminated kitchen table which stands on garish orange and green linoleum. The table is surrounded by somewhat diminutive orange vinyl padded dining chairs. A shiny espresso coffee pot stands triumphantly in the middle of the sports ground and Gardiners Creek gurgles on its way down the right hand third of the painting.
