Meanwhile at the Vet in Moorooka...

Traffic Stopping Art (Number 55)

It's been a long time between drinks but here is another painted traffic signal box brightening up the main shopping drag in Moorooka on the south side of town. The artwork is by Elise McKenzie and is called Cooktown Orchid - which is the floral emblem of Queensland.

It's great, this traffic signal box painting lark. Anyone of any age can submit a design. The main criteria is that you live, study or work in the municipality of the box.

Head to Urban Smart Projects website if you fancy painting a box or finding out more about a box that's been painted already. To see the ones I've snapped, hit the TSBs label below.

Ethiopian Restaurant, Moorooka

Moorooka is home to a large and vibrant African community. The main shopping area is home to cafes and restaurants from different African countries, money transfer services, afro-hairdressers and fab clothes shops. This restaurant is down a little laneway and was smelling pretty good when I was there despite it being closed. I must come back!
