An American in Oz: Dating the City
http://brookeinbrisbane.blogspot.com/2010/11/dating-city.html
An American in Oz. There was an error in this gadget. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. I have to say that there is not much that can compare to walking to and from work along the river. Its peaceful and beautiful. Not to mention that the weather is hard to beat. Its always warm and sunny and while we are in the “rainy season” of spring, it’s a lot like Florida rain – it rains hard for about 20 minutes then clears up and is sunny again. The Wagu was fantastic too. Every Friday starting around 4:30, the firm ...

An American in Oz: NOOSA!
http://brookeinbrisbane.blogspot.com/2010/11/noosa.html
An American in Oz. There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Any who, we have become friends with Lisa Scott and she was overly kind and invited us to her amazing wedding. It was a beautiful intimate affair of 35 from around the world. Lisa had family and friends from Ireland and her hubby had his friends and family from India and they had a few Australian and British friends sprinkled in and then us two token Americans. Sunday was the big day. We headed out to meet the but arou...

An American in Oz: October 2010
http://brookeinbrisbane.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
An American in Oz. There was an error in this gadget. Saturday, October 9, 2010. The Look and Feel of Brisbane. Apparently, as the seasons change equally colorful red trees take over the city in summer, followed by yellow trees in the fall. Random Sculptures—throughout the city there seem to be randomly placed sculptures with no apparent them or explanation. They just pop up in front of you as you explore the city. 8211; there is no reference to boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. Your significant ...

An American in Oz: The Great Brisbane Flood
http://brookeinbrisbane.blogspot.com/2011/01/great-brisbane-flood.html
An American in Oz. There was an error in this gadget. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. The Great Brisbane Flood. This is my second 100-year flood (Mike’s 4. 8211; so we secretly blame him for bringing it with him during his visit). However, I have to say this one was handled very differently than the last. I am more impressed by the Australian culture and true sense of community than ever. I will walk you through our experience as it unfolded. We were woken up at about 8:45 to the PA system in our building ann...

An American in Oz: The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
http://brookeinbrisbane.blogspot.com/2010/10/lone-pine-koala-sanctuary.html
An American in Oz. There was an error in this gadget. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. On Saturday we decided to do some good old fashion site seeing. Armed with a fistful of tourist brochures from the hotel, we ventured to coffee and a breakfast pie – a surprisingly delicious mini pot pie of sorts filled any and everything and topped with mashed potatoes, gravy, and smashed peas- at Pie Face. They were adorable, slow moving, laid back creatures who seemed not to have a care in th...
