Australian Galleries – The Art Gallery of New South Wales

October 24, 2015

It is never a good idea to rush when you are visiting an art gallery because you never truly get the sense of wonder when you hurry, however I tend to have a real bad habit of putting time limits on my visits, which meant that on this visit I really did not get to experience all there is to offer. Maybe I should slow down a bit, but a part of me simply wants to cram so much into my days that I find it really difficult to metaphorically ‘smell the roses’. I’ve been here before, however the Art Gallery of New South Wales does have a lot of offer. … More Australian Galleries – The Art Gallery of New South Wales

Singapore Story – A City of Gardens

September 2, 2015

Well if there is one reason to visit Singapore (that is if you aren’t a foodie like me) and that is to visit the gardens. In fact it is amazing that such a densely populated city state seems to have room not just for a few parks and gardens but for some huge ones. Okay, they did cheat when it came to the Gardens by the Bay because it is reclaimated land, however they are not the only gardens that Singapore boasts, and I did not have to time to visit all of them. Mind you, they don’t just plant gardens in the ground, but they also put them in the buildings as well. … More Singapore Story – A City of Gardens

Queensland Cutural Centre – Art and Science of Queensland

July 29, 2015

The thing that I thought was really handy in Brisbane is that they have the Museum, Art Gallery, and the major theatre all clustered together at the northern end of Southbank, which means that you can go and visit all of them in one day without having to wander all over the city. … More Queensland Cutural Centre – Art and Science of Queensland

My trip to the Adelaide Fringe

March 9, 2015

Well, maybe one Friday night is probably not the best way to see the Adelaide Fringe, especially since I realised only afterwards that I probably should have spent the day wandering around the city centre as opposed to Goodwood and Unley. Okay, the Fringe Festival isn’t just confined to the city centre, and having grown up in Adelaide I must admit that it is really hard to miss the event. However, as usual, I ended up packing so much into my itinerary that I only caught a glimpse of what I planned on coming here to experience – oh well, maybe another time. … More My trip to the Adelaide Fringe

The Art of South Australia

January 8, 2015

For those who are familiar with this blog, you would probably realise that I have (or have developed) and interest in the artistic world. In fact if you are one of my Facebook friends you would probably also realise that once a week I put up a random work of art (with some comment that people seem to occasionally find funny). Anyway, my recent trip to Adelaide would not have been complete without a visit to the Art Gallery of South Australia. … More The Art of South Australia

Fitzroy Gardens – Turning Nature into Art

November 13, 2014

When I was a kid there was a difference between a park and a garden: parks had playgrounds and gardens didn’t. In fact I thought gardens were either boring, or simply hard work (namely because my Dad would regularly get me to pull perfectly good plants out of his garden, though he had another word for them – weeds). … More Fitzroy Gardens – Turning Nature into Art
