Saying Goodbye to Spring
8 years ago
At Redcliffe again. It's a quaint place with shops lining the streets fronting the water. There's a jetty for people to venture out or do fishing.
The Redcliffe council has put created a sort of shrine to honour the Beegees (Brother Gibbs). The Beegees Way. It's an alley way that goes from the main street fronting the seafront to the next street. I t is flanked by walls of the shops.
These are the photos I took and I'll try to give you an idea of what it looks like from the sea front towards the end.
The walls display their hits and their journey. There's a huge tv in the middle that plays one of their interviews and some of their music video. I learned that Bill Gates gave them their name and lauch their career.
One thing that I really like is that they all stayed with the same girl/wife. Quite different in the modern world.
I don't frequent the city. Infact, I seldom go there but I do passby the place every day on weekdays while on a train. You get to see some tall buildings around Roma street station.
This is the Infinity tower - I heard it's the tallest in Brissie.
I have never enjoyed football as much as last Friday. The broncos nailed it. They were just magnificent. A solid team.
Then, the cowboys are all over the Storm. I actually felt bad for the Storm and the Roosters.
Anyway, it's all Queenslanders in the GF.
In case you're wondering, I am talking of the NRL. It's another variation of football but they use less kicking and foot. But they don't wear padding on their shoulders and no helmets either. It's a very manly sport and very dangerous as well.
So well done you guys!
Last Friday in our local park, "Is Everybody Here" event was held. It was an event for disabled people in our area. It was quite nice of them. We didn't get there until past 6PM - after work. We were able to catch up with friends, roam around and watch the fireworks. Nice way to cap the week, really.
Aside from plants, there are many things that are very interesting at the Botanic Garden in Brissie. These are some of them.
Every Sunday, there's a market a few minutes away from home. It's not a farmers market per se but it could be because there are lots of stalls selling fresh produce. There are craft stalls as well. I happen to drop by last Sunday to roam around without.
You can buy almost anything there. It's a good spot for having coffee and snack on a Sunday morning.
