Love the old Queenslander: look at the little hooded windows down the side. And I love the rusty corrugated iron ...; July 15, 2009 at 12:43 PM

I used to not like palm trees, but since my time up in FNQ last year O have grown to like them. There is something sort of comforting about them - visions of sitting inder one hearing the water gently lap the sand as it rolls in.; July 15, 2009 at 4:34 PM

Brisbane City Council dont seem to offer any protection for their saving at all, and they (the old buildings) really add to the character and ambiance of our beautiful city. Once all the old historic buildings are gone, its going to be soooo sad.... J.E.R.; July 25, 2010 at 6:19 PM
