Seasick Steve

At the Sunset Sounds music festival in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Seasick Steve made an appearance. He completely enthralled the small crowd.

Masterpieces

I got to see some amazing paintings in Canberra at the National Gallery of Australia.

Hell's Gates

This Hell's Gates lookout at Noosa Heads National Park. It's a wonderful walk out and back along a very scenic track. The track is going to be closed very shortly for repairs, so if you want a look, get in now or you'll have to wait a few months.

Lichen

Lichen on an old wooden deck that is 'flowering', if that's what lichen does.

Busy Bee

A bee gets busy in a water lilly flower. It's hind legs are stacked with pollen.

Surfer

A surfer takes advantage of a few early morning waves without competing with the crowds at Point Cartwright.

Fireworks

Some New Year's fireworks of course. See a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXERdyNI7Ho

Ferris Wheel

I went for my first ever ferris wheel ride. This was on New Year's Eve at Mooloolaba.

New Year's Day

The sun is shining on a new year in 2010. I always hoped we'd be somewhere close to Arthur C Clarke's 2010 technology by now, but it hasn't happened. Guess I'll just have to build my own spaceship then.

Happy New Year!

I saw in the New Year with many other people at the Mooloolaba New Year Festival watching Kate Miller-Heidke. An awesome performer to top off the night before the fireworks. The lyrics in her songs are amazingly creative and thoughtful. You can view a snippet of her performance here on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWEbyKmom1g
