"The true journey of discovery exists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel ProustI took these photos last year when my sister Emily and I decided to be 'tourists' in our own town - to see Brisbane with new eyes. Today as I wandered along the river with my mother I felt a similar sense of grasping Brisbane in a fresh way.
This post is dedicated to the bits of Brisbane that make us love it. The buzz of Southbank; the bohemian chill of West End; the wired vibe of the Valley. Not to mention the sprawling 'burbs with their old Queenslanders and big backyards - with Hills Hoist, sprinkler and trampoline.

Brisbane...I love you. Others say you're too small and that they could never settle back down here again. I say, you just need to know where to look...
ReplyDeleteMeandering at the Lifeline Bookfest + inspiration at Optimism exhibition + cupcake goodness at My Sweetopia = Perfect Brisbane day
well Carla, don't be appalled but I have never to been to Brisbane. However, I can still comment. Kevin Rudd calls it affectionately Brissy, and that's good enough for me!
