Brisbane’s City Hall // Clock Tower

Right in the middle of Brisbane city, is the old and vintage architecture of City Hall.

We headed upstairs for the clock tower tour.

 

The one and only cage lift still in use in Australia!

The space up in the clock tower there was a little smaller than I expected, with room for no more than maybe 8 people to stand comfortably.

 

Could only imagine what the view would have been like when the tower was first built – unobstructed by development and progress…

It’s Autumn!

Yesterday marked the first day of autumn, with a whooping 38 Degrees Celsius. Found my thoughts still centered on home, on the foreign yet familiar alleyways, the company of those I feel I have known all my life, and the same yet different sky.

9 more months to go! (No it’s not a baby)

Time to get started on those assignments.

 

 

The Buildings of Dakota Crescent

In 2090, a young student gazes at a picture in a museum.
In the country where he has been born, people living in buildings shorter than 5-storeys are unheard of.
He has never seen anything like it.
“So short. Poor use of space!”
His words echo those of his classmates around him.
