Look at these gorgeous local fresh protea outside Kalico Country, grown by Chris Grimmett herself and wrapped in newspaper. The scene was like a floral oasis in our CBD, which is still in the thick of major stormwater drainage works (which have been going for just about a year now […]
IT was almost other-worldly, the way the sky lit up in rapidly changing fluorescent tones between flashes of lightning and claps of thunder. We were inside doing the usual evening winddown with our little girl when I noticed the kitchen window all lit up in pink and raced outside to […]
Even as a work in progress, this mural brightened the bandstand at Jubilee Park, Beaudesert on a gorgeous blue-sky day. Little Rosie and I were playing in the park and admired it from basically all angles. It is a Council collaboration with artist Ash Taylor and McAuley College students. The […]
Sometimes the sky just stops you in your tracks, doesn’t it? I wish you all the best for the year ahead, whatever it looks like for you. It’s good to know that no matter what’s going on, we can always pause for a moment and appreciate whatever the sky is […]

I WISH we could print the symphony of pre-dawn birdsong that accompanied this moment. Mount Barney was impressive as ever, rising from misty and slightly smoky paddocks as we drove out for a bushwalk around her foothills recently. The sight of that magnificent mountain always stops me in my tracks.
