Brisbane’s Cultural Precinct

The Cultural precinct in Brisbane is an absolute gem in the Brisbane Crown and much of what is on offer there is free; the museum, the art gallery, the Gallery of Modern Art, (GoMA). In addition it is adjacent to South Bank parkland with all of its additional features, like the lagoon, a free place … Continue reading Brisbane’s Cultural Precinct

Go to GoMA (Gallery of Modern Art)

One of Bronte's taking pictures of people looking at pictures, pictures. This is just a very quick and brief post today, I just want to highlight the fact that there are currently two fantastic and free exhibitions on at GoMA in Brisbane. The Margaret Olley and the Ben Quilty exhibitions, if you are anywhere near … Continue reading Go to GoMA (Gallery of Modern Art)

I have hardly read a thing these last few months. But one thing I have read and thoroughly enjoyed is Sally Jane Smith's delightful travel memoir Unpacking for Greece . Sally ( @journeysinpages )has awoken my own gypsy soul and made me crave the adventure of travel again and while I might be stuck in one place at the moment, at least I have had the wonderful voyeuristic pleasure of accompanying Sally through those ancient lands and sharing the challenges, fears and joys. A great arm chair travel experience. #Travel #BooksAndTea #Books #Bookstagram
Nearly stepped on this beauty on my way into work this afternoon. At a guess he is a white stemmed gum moth but that is only a guess so if know what he is let me know. Quite large, just wider than a hand width at a guess and rather lovely. #moth #Nature
First bush walk in months. Took the hounds on a walk along the old Munro tramway. I have really needed these brief escapes but all my energy for months has just been going into meeting the everyday demands of life. Really really need to make more time this. #munrotramway #BushWalk
I have not been posting of late but today is National Sorry Day and the recent relentless attacks on one of our most accomplished and celebrated journalists made me feel that today and what it stands for should not go without a post. So in honour of reconciliation I am posting a short stack of some of Stan Grant's rich and remarkable books. Talking to my Country really is a book every Australian should read!
Been in a bit of a rut lately, not really reading much just dipping into the occasional essay. Always take a book everywhere even to Saturday breakfast. Wendell Berry always makes for good company whether it is his essays or the poetry. A writer I can highly reccomend, clarity combined with brevity and beauty. This was actually last weekend breakfast at the Revised cafe at Wyalla plaza, another favourite for weekend breakfast with the hounds, I get an excellent wrap and order extra sausage for the girls. Ada has excellent cafe manners and loves this weekend ritual she knows she will also be getting something special, can't really see Ada in this one but trust me she and Cass are under the table patiently waiting for their breakfast treat.
So Ada does not really like to swim, but Cassie who has gigantic webbed paws loves the water. Cas has no interest in chasing balls whatsoever but she will go out and bring back a ball in the sea for Ada. They can be a frightening team and believe me, they are a team.#RescueDogs #RescueDogsofInstagram #DogsOfInstagram #Dogs #BeachDog
