    Travel: Gallery of Modern Art

    Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It’s stunning. The gallery won’t take you very long, maybe about 60-90 minutes, unless you like to really take your time. A few modern pieces were also at the Queensland Art Gallery, and some of the same artists were represented. But, the best part, is both are within walking distance. Grab a snack, a coffee, and enjoy the afternoon looking at art. Sounds amazing! Okay, let’s check out some of the installations. Gallery of Modern Art This…

    Travel: Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital

    Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital! Be sure to check it out if you’re visiting the Australia Zoo. It’s an additional 2$ when you buy your tickets and I almost forgot to add it, since the agent didn’t ask. We spent about 5 minutes walking over, and then visited for about 10-15 minutes (I like to read all the signs!). If you have time, it’s worth checking out. Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital We saw a tiny kangaroo who lost his mom. They made him a sweet flannel…

    Travel: Chez Noosa Motel

    Chez Noosa Motel in Noosa, Queensland. It’s not a fancy place, and although we walked to home from the beach, it’s nice to have a car. The price is good, the property is clean, and it’s safe. A win-win all around. The one tricky thing that happened while we were visiting, the power in our unit shut off due to a tripped breaker around 2am or 3am on our last night. We woke up super hot! Nothing a shower couldn’t fix, and all our food…

We hiked this beautiful shaded place on an extremely hot day – it was 38 degrees outside. That’s slightly over 100. Hot! Luckily about 80%…
