What Susie Saw

There is nothing quite like getting some cold hard cash out of your wallet and buying produce straight from an honesty box roadside stall. This local honey stall we see on our neighbourhood walks feels like a timely reminder to support beekeepers large and small.

Here is the first sunrise of winter in all its spectacular pastel glory. The colours changed by the minute as we walked on, rugged up against the early morning chill. It’s a beautiful time of year,

The contrast of this gloomy sky seemed to saturate the brick buildings of William Street in vibrant colour as a rainbow appeared overhead during recent rain.

We came up the rise from the Tubber Street shortcut early one Wednesday morning and I was struck with the beauty of this autumn sunrise scene in Beaudesert suburbia.

We’re pretty fortunate in Beaudesert to be surrounded by working farms. Spot the grabby little toddler hand reaching for some fresh produce we bought from sixth generation farmer, Harry Tommerup, who is one local example of continuing to pivot with the ever-changing times. 

If only you could hear the soundtrack to this scene of golden hour on Helen Street. It was just what I needed after a big day in the office.

It was a beautiful morning at the Easter Saturday Jeune Park parkrun. That run (or walk) is stunning year-round and I look forward to the weather cooling off a bit as we head towards winter. 

Here is one of many spectacular views from along the Stockyard Creek Track, which I walked recently as part of O’Reilly’s centenary celebrations. We live in a beautiful part of the world.

Who else is loving the crispness of the autumn mornings? It doesn’t take long for the heat to set in, but it certainly felt fresh when I took this picture on the corner of Tubber Street and Brisbane Street at 4.56am on a particularly early morning walk recently.

We paused to watch this new mural by Ash Taylor in progress outside the Council building in Beaudesert on a Saturday sunset stroll around town.
