Brisbane Wood Show
Our first ever Brisbane Wood Show where it was great to catch up with those vendors we haven't seen for 12 months or more. It was a very small show traffic getting into the show ground far better than Sydney even to the stadium.

Only picked up a Burl and some Red Cedar.

Stroll through the Park
It was announced on a facebook local page that council had marked nine
beautiful Jacaranda trees on one side of a local street to be removed.
Many residents are not impressed that no consultation was forth coming.
At this stage a a stay of execution has taken place.
Sue and I took a stroll to view the footpath which was one excuse council gave for the removal little did we think i could catch the other excuse of garbage trucks could not negotiate the over head branches over hanging the road on video.
From there we strolled down through the park and storm water canal walk, Sue has been there often it was my first time.

Above the footpath and one of the trees. However the footpath was badly laid originally following the lay of the land which slopes at approx 30deg to the road.
