What is this woman doing – Walking along with a stick held aloft? 🙂 … Water divining? Nope ~ Just out for a leisurely evening stroll in the bush 😀 But it can be spoilt when unknowingly one walks into one of these! Spiders in Australia A spider draped across my path waiting for dinner to drop […]
Cultural exchanges in Australia ~ I was in Brisbane last week ~ And with business done… I couldn’t resist popping into the Queensland Art Gallery for a quick look!
