Beautiful Brisbane


"The true journey of discovery exists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust
I 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.

As a way of welcoming new blog readers, I'd invite you to comment to this post with a brief description of the things that, through your eyes, make little Brizzy great.
