Linde Ivimey UQ Art Museum
I go to as many galleries as I can, and this exhibition was one I particularly liked. Australian Linde Ivimey’s sculptures are made from wood, skin, bones, fabric, hair, wax, gemstones, and teeth to name a few materials. They are not very big, making them all the more appealing. The work is very intricate and detailed, and the viewer is left with a great appreciation for her work. Quirky, cute, winsome, fascinating, almost macabre are words that ran through my mind as I wandered the expansive exhibition in the great space at the University of Queensland Art Museum.
The exhibition finishes on 24th March so be quick – go and see it. A perfect show for children.

The Queensland Museum
I was wandering through the Queensland Museum recently and came upon the most fascinating room, full of snakes, live insects, skeletons and all sorts of weird and wonderful things. People were trying to find the Leaf Tailed Gecko camouflaged against a tree, and decide which end was his head and which was his tail. The stick insects were also hard to find in their leafy environment. Probably the most surprising exhibit was the trio of Tawny Frogmouth owl skeletons – they looked more like frogs than birds. I can’t wait to go back for another visit – it’s not just for children you know!

River Traffic
Since the devastating floods in Brisbane in 2011, the river has been a hive of activity with work boats going up and down every day.

Brisbane Autumn Sky
Living by the water in Brisbane I never get tired of the changes in the sky, on the river, the animal and bird life, and the seasonal changes. Last week we had beautiful sunsets so here is one that I particularly love.
