The Scottish tide

Wellington point is a short train ride from Brisbane and has an island that can be reached by foot at low tide.

Well that's not far!

Or should we turn back? When is the tide turning?

Exciting holes below water.

Shell.

Prawn.

We're not too far.

But the tide is fast and the pram got separated! Luckily only front wheels got wet.

Safely on solid ground.

Meanwhile in the city, Scotsmen were celebrating Scotland day.

The Scottish Terriers came first.

Many a tartan was spotted.

Players of all ages.

This spectator was tapping along enthusiastically.

A young Scot.

She sang in English.

Many of the players were from UQ!

Scottish items for sale.

How's it hanging?

 Two unrelated bonus pictures:

No yelling!

Get your face soft with cells from down there:

Treasures from down under...

Enjoy your Scotch!

// Viime aikoina opossumit ovat ihmetelleet merenpohjan aarteita, säkkipillin päiskettä ja lampaan istukasta valmistettua kosteusvoidetta. Voikaa hyvin!

Parks and more

Parks are plentiful in Brisbane, which is good as families with babies need a lot of action outside.

Rise and shine, time to head out!

A giant cricket couldn't fend us off.

This park is next to the river. The tree is huge.

Slightly worried look due to the playarea ending abruptly to the river without a fence in between.

Many things are phobited in this park. No interference with vegetation!

Somebody was working out.

This one was working out happily.

Smile!

After workout it's time for lunch.

The Burrow is one of our favourites. The shared tiramisu was gargantuous.

Roma Street Parklands are a quiet nook just near to the CBD. The Zeppelin followed us.

BBQ facilities are good as always.

Exciting walkways.

Hanging flowers.

A beehive.

Apparently, bees don't feed on flowers directly next to the hive as they are reserved to be used as bee-latrines.

Challenges for the pram. Up and away!

Flowers are present all year round.

As are families.

What's wrong?

Spiders in the sky!

A band was playing at the amphitheatre.

For the love of music.

Not for profit.

Some areas in parks are reserved for functions.

Facilities are excellent. A clean toilet complex.

Spot the undercover wildlife.

Orderly plants.

Lizard!

There are at least five lizards in this picture.

The lizard didn't move so we wouldn't notice it.

The cafe has flowers.

Playgrounds are one main reason for going to parks!

The other is barbeques.

Salad is all good.

A family burger.

A possumhouse. Possums are territorial so this housing prevents others invading nearby rooftops.

Sandal tan.

Parks are dark after sunset.

This one had lighting.

There were children in the darkness.

A full moon in the park.

All good! Enjoy parks!
