The old rusty wreck of the HMQS Gayundah has been protecting the shores at Woody Point, in the Moreton Bay Marine Park, since 1921. First commissioned in 1884 she is succumbing to the ocean that she once defended. #shipwreck #blue #water @queensland
A bit of a hazy morning over Brisvegas but worth a drive or ride up Mt Coot-Tha. It's accurately a hill not a mountain. But it's the best we have.
This is the William Jolly Bridge in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The Brisbane City Council lights up some of the buildings and bridges for special occasions and to support causes. The light installation illuminating the bridge here was to celebrate Australia Day.
