NOXIOUS WEEDS

Carpets of soursob (Oxalis pes-caprae), a common and persistent weed also known as Bermuda buttercup. It can look good en-masse, it is bright and cheery, but...  It spreads quickly through underground bulbs and tiny bulbils, making it tough to remove completely and can take over a whole garden in a season!

TURKEY TAIL

This is a Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) mushroom, a common polypore found worldwide.It is characterised by its thin, fan-shaped, and colourful caps that resemble a turkey's fanned tail feathers

These fungi are frequently found growing in overlapping clusters on fallen hardwood logs or stumps. Trametes versicolor has a porous underside rather than gills and is a popular subject for foraging due to its distinct features and potential medicinal uses.

DYMOCKS

One of my favourite shops in the City: Dymocks in Colin St. I could spend hours in there and buy more books than I could carry away. Sigh!

A BOY AND HIS DOG

Playing in the parklands, away from care, far from the madding crowd, unthinking of the uncertain future... Enjoying that present moment, experiencing the simple joys of childhood. That's what life should be about.

QUEEN BEE

A colony of giant, golden bees designed by sculptor Richard Stringer and commissioned by the building's architect, Nonda Katsalidis. The main hive and large bees are found at the base (ground level) of the Eureka Tower in the Southbank precinct, with additional bees located at the nearby 2 Riverside Quay.

The bees are constructed from anodized aluminum and riveted together using 110,000 anodized rivets. Their gleaming golden colour is designed to match the building's iconic gold-plated glass apex. The installation serves as a gleaming metaphor for a harmonious, high-density city environment and a busy "hive" of frenetic activity inside the skyscraper.
