Happy Leap Year

Today only comes around once every 4 years. February 29. A human system imposes an order that nature does not quite match, so we smear the result a little every now and then to keep things in step. This photo was from a while ago when I went to visit the Coolum Cave Sendfest. There were two young brothers being guided up a climb on the morning I visited and it reminded me of my own brother, who just so happens to have a birthday on the 29th of February.

Coonowrin And Ngungun

A summit view of Ngungun in the background and Coonowrin highlighted by a shower of rain behind. Very atmospheric.

Coonowrin And Tibrogargan

A view of Coonowrin and Tibrogargan on a beautiful showery and cloudy day.

Summit View

Another spectacular summit view from Mount Beerwah.

Beerwah Cliff

The main cliff face on Beerwah. It is tall and steep, all the way up.

Beerwah Bolt Route

The start of the Beerwah Bolt Route Aid climb. The bolts have been replaced with stainless in the years since I last visited.

Mount Beerwah Summit

A view from the top of Mount Beerwah. The last time I climbed up here was in 2007, 13 years ago. It was wonderful to return to the mountain I have always enjoyed climbing for many years.

Glasshouse Stroll

A wonderful view of the Glasshouse Mountains from the top of Wildhorse Mountain Lookout.

Landrover Perentie

Landrover Defenders end up in all sorts of roles. This one is advertising a Restaurant/Pub on Brisbane's new wharf district under the Story Bridge.

Brisbane's Best Restaurant

Govinda's is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Brisbane, and certainly my favourite place to eat when I get to visit the CBD.

Glasshouse Mountains

A showery view of the Glasshouse Mountains from Australia Day on the top of Wildhorse Mountain.

Metaphor?

When I look at this sculpture near GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art) in Brisbane I can't help but think that it is trying to tell us something through metaphorical image.

Pagoda Detail

The details of the wood carving on the Nepalese Peace Pagoda are extraordinary. Every single surface is intricately adorned.

Nepalese Peace Pagoda

My favourite place in Brisbane, the Nepalese Peace Pagoda at Southbank. The Peace Pagoda was one of my favourite pavillions from the World Expo 88 exhibition and Brisbane was very fortunate to be able to keep it here on site for future generations.
