The longer I live here, the more I love it.  While I am walking around a take more notice of things and I think that is because I lived overseas for a year.  Here are some of the things I have seen on my travels around Brisbane.

I was walking along Musgrave Rd and with the light, it was amazing, St Brigid’s Catholic Church, Red Hill.  In 1897 Archbishop Robert Dunn laid the foundation for a new school building and, when it opened, there were over 400 on the school roll. This building was located in the present car park and had to be demolished after a fire partially destroyed the building in 1974.The school was closed in 1983 because of declining numbers.

Two weekends ago Niels and I were in town and there was a military parade for the Mayor of Brisbane, it always sends shivers down my spine when I see military vehicles in a civilian setting.

Working at Seqwater I was alerted to some work we were doing on The Green Hill reservoir in Brisbane.  How well did this turn out and not to mention the size it it, took us about 10 minutes to circumvent it.  Check it out if you have time and it is dog friendly.

I was in the city during the weekend minding my own business on the scooter and I almost ran into horse poo.  I thought this was odd but then I hear a clip clop.  How amazing are these animals.

Now while at work going from site to site I had the pleasure of seeing a koala run across the road in front of me and then scurry up a tree and look at me.  Then in Fernvale, which is famous for its bakery, I ran into this crazy character, modern and traditional technologies mixing.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to have a training program on the 26th floor of a building near the water, magnificent.

And last but not least, Niels and I were walking through Southbank a couple of months ago and came across this, yep a snow playground, I think it was about 20 C.

So I suggest that we all look harder at our surrounds to see the beauty and the unusual and be grateful of our situation.
