Cee’s Photo Challenge: Which Way in Brisbane
The city center of Brisbane, Australia offers many modes and routes of transportation: foot, vehicle or boat and bridge, highway or river.
Inspiration from Down Under
Isn’t it interesting just what inspires words. What creates idea. What germinates a seed that grows into a forest.
I’ve found inspiration – or rather, inspiration has found me – in the everyday world in which I live… or at least my little corner of it.
Inspiration, Australian style;
Sydney Opera House? Or futuristic sailing barge?
Sydney Harbour Bridge? Or the perfect place for snipers?
Darling Harbour? Or a rendezvous for star-crossed lovers?
A park in Bendigo? Or a haunted meadow in daylight?
Historical church? Or an angel’s safe house?
Surfers Paradise? Or Jaws?

Bicheno Tasmania? Or an alien landscape?
A unique dessert? Or a futuristic meal?

Facing MY Fears!
°Brisbane Australia, three days visiting Richards uncle and cousins – for once long-suffering had the upper hand on the next stage of our ‘trip of a lifetime’. He sat calm beside me on the three hour plus flight from Christchurch to Brisbane as I sat freaking out at all the wild animals, insects, reptiles, sharks etc. that may or may not – crawl, jump, dive, slither, snap or bite terminating me from existence!
We had it on good authority – our youngest daughter – that Richards cousin Andrew and his wife Jodie – both originally from New Zealand with its almost zero population of nasties – would be great hosts for the duration of our three day stop in Brisbane. We were not disappointed.
Walking out from the airport we were not prepared for how hot this country really is and although our hosts were waiting with their air-conditioned car our…
