Museums and Surfer's Paradise



Last Friday Mollie, Lindsay and I went to the Brisbane art gallery and were able to view a couple of installations before the museum closed for the day. There was a great exhibit with metal spheres floating around in a pond in the middle of the museum floor, which you were allowed to touch to change the path of each bath. There was also a great 10-year working self-portrait installation and some interesting ceramics and statues from Asia.



Saturday we went to Surfer's Paradise, a beach about 2 hours from our apartment by train and bus. We and the boys stayed there in a hostel called "Backpacker's Paradise." Unfortunately, the weather was not very nice and we got stuck in a minor sandstorm. Mollie was one of the victims:



Also, I know that Marcy was interested in seeing pictures from Fiji. If anyone else wants to see some of those, they are at the following URL:
