The Flemington Racecourse in Dec 2006

Here is Phar Lap whose monument is the centre piece at Flemington, the site of the famous Melbourne Cup that occurs every 1st Tuesday in November every year. The race that stops the nation, a national day in Melbourne!

Christmas Cheers and Trims

Gee, I didn't realise that I haven't posted here since early November!
It's after Christmas now and before we finally remove and store our christmas adornments, here are some of them in our home right now-

The christmas flower, the Pointsettia will always grace the buffet table. This is not real!

Ray and David's bar portrait is not spared from tinsels.
The coffee table has a santa that turns around with a wind-up musical song. Some of the christmas cards we received are on the table that holds the TV
My favourite stockings- empty inside though.
Christmas lillies (these are real -courtesy of Woolworths) is a feature of the dining table.
This silk wreath had been with us since 1992!.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Queens Street Mall Plants

Every season the Brisbane City Council changes the plants features in its raised gardens.
These plants look deceiving but they are real- they are actually planted on individual pots, the pots are arranged in a pretty design then they are all covered with bark.
Very effective indeed- you can actually dig them out and take them home- but not my advise as it's an offense to take them.
Bromeliads were the feature for this season
Those whites, pinks and greens on different levels are very effective.

Ahhhh Brisbane, queens street mall- i just love walking up and down this street.

Shania, You´re Still The One

enjoy the music for a break- she's one of my favourite artists.

Riverside landscape

I am leaving this wonderful work environment very soon and i want to share with you the facade and buildings and surrounds.


I really love the surroundings of Riverside Centre- very elegant, near the river, right in one of the most beautiful CBD locations- aside from Southbank, this is one of the choicest places to be in Brisbane.
Just right infront of our building is the icon of Brisbane, the Story Bridge.
The CityCat- a catamaran ferry that's an important public transport system in the city.
This is the 123 Riverside Centre, where I worked on the 34th floor for more than 3 years now. The building has 40 floors and was once the highest building of Brisbane.
