September 2 - 8, 2011

A cracker?! Give me cold hard cash! This little guy took the trip out from Townsville today to help install stone benches in a kitchen for us. He was so cute and spent most of the time doing quality control from his mate's shoulder.

Rainbow waterfall Strand Ephemera is an 11 day festival of contemporary art. This is one of the beautiful pieces of art. It's one huge curtain made from plastic bottle tops.

Blowing a gale Today on the Strand we had to hold on to our hats. The sea was probably as rough as we ever see it... well apart from when cyclones hit. The waves break out on the Barrier Reef so we only get small waves on the beach.

Strand Ephemera collage More artwork from the Strand. There was some really creative pieces amongst the many exhibits. Bottom right is made from ironing boards.

  1. Love these! That dandelion puff is perfect! That is a wild bird correct? The colors are beautiful and I love the crazy artwork!

    1. The bird is a rainbow lorikeet, the guy feeds them but they are free to fly away. This one must be his pet that he keeps inside his house though. He sits on his shoulder most of the time.
