On Our Walks

Hi @Sister, it is a large bush! Over 2 metres, proof of what happens when you leave things alone, which is my only safe gardening practice. My mother could grow anything, anywhere but I have inherited my father’s gardening ability which means I am OK cutting grass. Roses, being as tough as old boots, are usually safe and I have some small success with plants labelled ‘opportunistic grower’ (or weed), but anything else may simply be tortured to death. Two columbines are doing splendidly but they are the survivors of 18 planted!!1

Calling all walkers, I am spending the next few days in Brisbane where I'm attending my brother-in-law's (third!) wedding. I haven't been there for 31 years. What should I see/do/eat? Open for suggestions! Love a long walk and explore, an art gallery, and interesting shops. I'm catching up with @onemargie and @Flaneuse and looking forward to it.

Phillip Bacon Galleries (Fortitude Valley) are still the go to place in the commercial scene. Queensland Art Gallery is overall good (apart from the silly water feature!). Roma Parkland and the Botanic Gardens are both central.1

Fortitude Valley used to be the place for Chinese meals too!1

Heard a noise on the verandah and expected to find a possum but to our surprise he's back!

Went for a walk to the Redcliffe Market and met this reprobate, the gorgeous @onemargie!
F**k cancer!

I will swap you my brolgas for your koala.
These three were "dancing" less than a kilometre from town.
A good indication that the 'Wet' is just around the corner.

excellent! Love it when nature gives a sign!

I think our Koala just got off track. The preferred food is Manna gum. Between us and our neighbour Helen we have planted quite a few across the properties so hopefully he will find them and stay awhile.
Because of the extended dry north of here we are also seeing birds we wouldn't normally see here1 -
@iserbrown We have a lot of koalas around here and we've sometimes found them in pine trees, just hanging out.
@Annie C Have you ever read the picture book "Olga the Brolga" by Rod Clement? One of my favourites when I used to do storytime.
@kmakm and @onemargie Are you out causing trouble?0 -
Sadly not @Sister, in her busy schedule I could only get a brief slot with @onemargie! We did clutter up the Redcliffe pavement for a bit and drop a few f bombs so we made good use of our time!
I just had the most wonderful day with @Flaneuse. We talked art, politics, travel, life, and everything in between. Found a soul sister.
I love our BCNA network!
