Last weekend Lauren and her friends from the Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) took part in this year's Brisbane Neon Run. The gallery above features a few photos from the event. They all had a great time - runs don't get much more fun than this! You can see the photos in full over on Google +.   read more

Another pic from the Santos City of Lights. As you can see, it was a little bad mad! read more

Walking over the Victoria Bridge last Saturday to join Rach and Lauren in South Bank, I couldn't help but notice the vacant river and the drama building in the sky.  read more

Yesterday I took advantage of Brisbane Open House to visit and photograph a number of buildings around Brisbane. Once a year a number of architecturally diverse buildings around Brisbane open their doors to the general public, with the architects and interior designers responsible for the work … read more

Night sets in over Moreton Bay. This photo was taken from Cleveland Foreshore Park. read more

There were plenty of entertainers on hand at the Brisbane Festival this year to keep the kiddies happy. read more

This is a shot of the Kurilpa Bridge over the Brisbane River - connecting South Brisbane to the CBD. It was opened in 2011 and is the world's largest hybrid tensegrity bridge, apparently. I was lucky to get the bridge to myself for a brief moment to take this shot. It's a favourite crossing for … read more

Yesterday myself and Lauren took a trip up to Mount Coo-Tha to take some pics while Rach did some cooking to get ready for the ‘divas’ coming round.We had a quick look around the Botanical Gardens which deserve a much longer stay than what we afforded, before heading up to the scenic … read more

It has been devastating watching the catastrophe unfold in the city that I've grown to love. I've said before that this is the first place where I've truly felt settled. It's the city we chose to live in when deciding to emigrate, and we've never once regretted it. Many parts of Brisbane are now a … read more

We're moving out of our house on Thursday. The only problem is we haven't yet got a home to move to. Things were great with our current house to begin with. We're a short walk away from a park and our house backed on to woods so we could wake up to the sound of Kookaburras in the morning. Then a few … read more

A couple of weeks ago I went on an Adventure Sailing Day courtesy of a gift experience that Rach bought me for my birthday. The Yacht I went on, which is called Solo, has quite a spectacular history. It has won the Sydney to Hobart race four times and circumnavigated the world 3 times. Also, it was … read more

I've never seen anything like it. This was the view from our house this afternoon as the largest dust storm in decades descended upon Brisbane and a large part of the east coast of Australia. Apparently it has been caused by gale force winds in central Australia kicking up tonnes of red dust from … read more

It has been quite a while since my last post, mainly due to a combination of taking on too much work and being distracted with other things. I'm going to add a few different posts over the next couple of days covering things we've been up to since my last post, rather than combining it all into this … read more

In the mood for a bit of nostalgia, we took a drive to the Britain on the Bayside shop in Birkdale, which is now only 10 mins drive away. We had heard about this place before but had never got round to going. Britain on the Bayside boasts of the largest selection of british goods in Queensland. I … read more

So we've moved house, and I'd forgot how much of a nightmare it is. We certainly won't be doing it again in a hurry. We've been in Brisbane nearly 2 years now and the place we were renting was ok as our first little settler home, but it was a bit cramped and we were desperate for more storage. We … read more

On Thursday I held my monthly Brisbane Internet Business Meetup Group which I organise through meetup.com. I've unbelievably now got 129 members. After holding the first few meetups at a Coffee Club, I sent a survey out to all members asking if they wanted to continue with the current informal … read more

On a bit of a whim, we decided on Saturday to treat ourselves to some nice nosh and try out a restaurant we haven't been to before. It's been quite a while since we've treated ourselves to a really good meal out. I did a search on google and looked at a few restaurant guides and came across the … read more

Last night I held my January Brisbane Internet Business Meetup. Of the 82 members (as of today) I think only 14 turned up but that didn't detract from what was a really good night. In particular, our group was blessed by the presence of two genuine internet celebrities: Yaro Starak is a blogger who … read more

Xmas has been and gone for another year. I had a couple of weeks off work, along with Rach, so we were able to make the most of it and take her Mum and Dad for a spot of sightseeing. Rach’s Mum and Dad are leaving on Saturday and they seem to have had an enjoyable time, although Rachelle’s Mum has … read more
