My World this week at Toowong

Come and have a look around Toowong...an inner suburb of Brisbane
the lovely church on the corner
with great reflections in the building next door...

there is a mix between the old and the new...
even jacarandas, and poincianas down the main street...

a very old hotel....
a traffic box, been painted by someone advertising the battle against depression...
cafes on the corner...
handy on the train line to the city...


and on the banks of the lovely Brisbane River

with views to the city (from the building I was in)...those funny white sail type things right in the middle of the photo is a new bridge that has just been built....
and outlook to the nearby Mt Cootha.
life in the sub tropics...

STOP PRESS...It is RAINING in South East Queensland tonight. This is the first rain we have had for four months. It has been so dry dry dry...with very stringent water restrictions....only watering for half an hour twice a week!

Praise God for life giving rain, and prayers that it might extend out to the Darling Downs where farmers are needing rain also!

Hi there Annie!
Praise God indeed for the rain. Wow 4 months is a long time to be without. I am so glaad for the relief you surely are feeling now.

I loved looking thru these pictures. The first two really struck me. I really enjoyed the contrast of the "old" in the reflection of the new building.

Thank you for your wonderful comments and encouragement on my site. Even though I haven't been available much, you have been such a faithful encourager to me.

Blessings to you Annie.
