Taking a break of a few days in Brisbane at this time of the year was a very good idea, with temperatures there of 28°C every day. Melbourne has been experiencing above average temperatures for this time of the year too, but winter can't be far away. I spotted this sign on a walk along the river.
Visiting the Queensland Art Gallery I was amazed at this full sized elephant, unfortunately I forgot to note the artist's name. She, and it was a female artist, used a fibre glass model of an elephant and covered the whole thing in patterns of 'bindies', the adhesive stickers used by Indian women to mark their foreheads. What a time consuming thing to do, but the effect was very pleasing.
A close up of some of the stickers.
A very nice collection of Pelican sculptures outside a window of the gallery.
I noted this lovely leadlight window on an old block of flats as I was walking back to our accommodation. I loved the subtle colours and the very interesting geometric pattern.
