City Hall



As I walked past city hall this morning it was bathed in a wonderful light so I thought I would share it with you all today.

A Bit of Background

Brisbane's first town hall was built in 1864, but this Town Hall was not opened until 1930. The magnificent clock (4.8 metres diameter) and tower (91.5 metres high) have recently been restored. The three-storey building holds a circular concert hall, with impressive gallery seating, and great acoustics. Sit near the lions "on guard" at the front entrance and count the Corinthian columns across the façade. The Town Hall square is a relaxing place to enjoy Brisbane's great climate, when exploring the city.

First Day Back

Well, today is the day. The first day back at work after a 5 weeks off with the kids. You couldn't really call it a holiday though as we didn't go away anywhere. Surprisingly, I am actually not apprehensive about the return to work as the break was sufficiently long enough to clear my head of all the troubles and happenings of the past year. That and I enjoy the work I do, in the main.
