When I posted this on our Facebook page : “What was your favourite journey?” This is what *you* said 🙂 Yvonne Adele My first trip to New York, where I came back with a life-long souvenir– a NY yankees tattoo! The day after I got it, I sat at Yankee Stadium – forward in my seat […]
It’s always exciting to get invitations to art gallery exhibition openings and this week I got one for an exhibition of lino-prints by Anna Curtis at ‘Framed ~ The Darwin Gallery’ that runs from the 9th July to the end of the month (2010) If you are lucky enough to be in Darwin (enjoying the […]
The simplest of things are so often the most enjoyable ~ Last weekend,we had the pleasure of watching the moon rise up behind Stradbroke Island during our evening walk… And the following morning, woke up to this simply beautiful sunrise What a weekend 😀 Have a good one!
I spotted this out of the window… “What?” You may ask! A Masked Lapwing (also known as a Masked Plover or the Spur Winged Plover ~ Vanellus miles) So I took a closer look (when the bird had gone for a walk) and look what she was sitting on 🙂 Then, a few days later – on […]
With the coming of the school holidays here in Australia and their associated car trips with children, to help alleviate the ‘Are we there yet?‘s, I’ve created an Eye Spy game with the aid of either of our maps ~ the Map Journal, which is A2 size, or a little Mail-It Map that is A3 size. […]

Its funny how we clamber to travel and explore other parts of the globe, whilst travellers from other parts of the globe clamber to travel and experience our home turf! Places, that to us are merely where we go about our everyday business are to them a far off distant land worthy of exploring; areas that […]
When Ron Mueck’s exhibition at GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art) came to Brisbane… I went on the opening day! It was an extraordinary experience of observing human forms; finding oneself staring transfixed at bodily details. Peering into the worlds of human beings frozen in time. At times the gallery crowd became part of the scene. The Wild […]
I frequently go over to Stradbroke Island in the evening to walk. Climbing the sandy hill there’s often the sound of rustling and scuttling in the bush on either side of the track. But hoping to see what makes the noise is generally futile as its survival is dependent upon it remaining invisible to any potential predators – However, […]
Grass trees are found in a range of climates across Australia, from WA to the NT and down to Tasmania. I photographed the group of grass trees above on Stradbroke Island, east of Brisbane, Queensland, but I have equally enjoyed their presence near Perth in WA and in the hinterland to Byron Bay in northern NSW.
