Bad case of chicken pox

I didn't get a chance to check out the treasures inside the City Gallery, as you can see from the fences it was closed for expansion! Ah well.. this will give me an excuse to go back :) Loved those coloured spots though.

MPs busy as bees

The Beehive is the nickname given to the Executive Wing of the New Zealand Parliament, the photo below is a miniature replica of the building, on display at the Museum of Wellington:

and this is the actual building:

Mining Exchange Building

This building completed in the late 1880s is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture in Ballarat. I wasn't curious enough to go inside but I read that the hall is lined with forty small offices where sharebrokers, and mining agents sold shares in goldmines and it played an important role in the development of Melbourne's stock exchange.

The Brisbane series - Episode 1

This week the posts will be dedicated to Brisbane where I've just spent the weekend. After Sydney, I think it is my favourite city in Australia and this week I will show you more of it.

This is Brisbane Square, in the heart of the city. I like the unusual architecture of this building, the colours, and the reflection of the clouds at the top of it.

Weird architecture

Federation Square, Melbourne

Some people love that building, some people loathe it... I belong to neither group :)
