Recently we made a brief foray to the mainland for the weekend. Each year we try to travel to Sydney see the Archibald Prize exhibition, and this year was no exception. As well as seeing some amazing art, we got the chance to play in a big city again for a few days.

A garden in winter
This is our first "proper" winter in a long time. It's tempting to hide out inside, huddled beside the heater, but we've been brave and dragged ourselves out to explore. Recently we ventured to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, one of my favourite places in Hobart, even during the chill of winter.

City Fragments – Melbourne
A few weeks ago we packed our bags and left sunny Brisbane for a long weekend in Melbourne. The sale airfares we had meant our baggage allowance was limited to hand luggage, which forced us to be selective about the camera kit we took. While I've moved away from the old days of wanting to carry… Continue reading City Fragments – Melbourne
Quick Picks – Featuring a sea of clouds, living sculptures, and notes in Berlin
I've been thinking about travel a bit lately, so this week's quick pick of internet finds highlights just some of the places on my wanderlust wish list. As usual, good things come in threes... ♥ The unkai terrace at the Hoshino Resorts Tomamu has just made my list of places to visit in Japan. It's… Continue reading Quick Picks – Featuring a sea of clouds, living sculptures, and notes in Berlin
A Lost World
One Sunday morning earlier this year we decided that a road trip was in order. So we pulled out our map and started planning. As soon as I saw the words "Lost World" I knew it was where we would end up. It's a valley situated behind the Lamington National Park in the Gold Coast… Continue reading A Lost World
Merry Christmas Everyone
Today's picture post has a festive theme! Throughout the latter half of December Brisbane's City Hall is hosting a spectacular projected light show based on The Nutracker. It's really worth seeing with your own eyes, but for now I'll leave you with this highlight! We'll be taking a break over Christmas, so I'll return on… Continue reading Merry Christmas Everyone
Brisbane’s most stoic residents
Although Brisbane supports many bright, colourful characters, if you look closely there's always room for quiet ones watching the world pass by without drawing attention to themselves. It's easy to miss these two, who live near the Maritime Museum come rain or shine, I like to think that the weather doesn't get them down, despite… Continue reading Brisbane’s most stoic residents
A Blue Pole
It's no secret that we love taking pictures of people, but we also like to play around and experiment in other areas of photography. So I thought this week I'd give you a peek at one of Geoff's recent landscape photos. I love seeing the results of his photography expeditions, and I love this one… Continue reading A Blue Pole
What a beautiful day
Our first weekend beach escape for the year
This photo was taken at Nobby Beach. I haven't been to this part of the coast for years, but it's the beach that we always came to when I was growing up so it holds a special place in my heart. While I love our place in New Farm, I think I could happily relocate… Continue reading Our first weekend beach escape for the year
