About Me

My photo
Love being mother of four, grandmother of nine, wife of one!! Aunt Sister Daughter Friend Cousin all the good things.... I love living in Queensland as have done for the past 20 years. I love being at home rearranging the furniture and doona covers, out side working in the garden , taking photos of my family or the beautiful things you can find that nature has provided for us. I guess you could say I'm one of the lucky ones.

Beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets

Mosman Gorge North Queensland

Paronella Park. One place you must see. Built by Jose Paronella
He built a castle as his house for his wife and then went on to build a swimming pool, ball room, picnic tables and stools, walk ways, and so much more
worth doing a search on google about this man and his dream place.


Part of a remaining room at Paronella Park. Everything is being taken over by the moss now but the new owners are trying to restore as much as possible. I love the way it is now, as you walk around the place , not wanting to leave, So many areas of beauty you come out with such a overwelming feeling , what it must have been in its hey days ,
even had an icecream parlor for his visitors.
Think it was nearly destroyed twice from flood waters.



The beautiful sunrises at Rainbow Beach.
The sun rises over the ocean and sets over the Sandy Straits.
Another beautiful place.





Driftwood on the beach near the Town of 1770




New skin for the Gum Tree.
Shedding all the old bark off the reveal beautiful clean trunk.






Not really in the wild but I love dolphins,
these ones are at Sea World on The Gold Coast






Australia




I'm going to do this post on My Beautiful Country Australia.

I love nothing better that to get out and take photos of the flora and fauna of this great country.


I've taken so many photos over the years and not thank goodness for digital I can take even more and they are so much easier to sort through . Only drawback is that I don't get enough printed. But as long as they are safe in the computer....dare I say safe, may have to get my back up system a bit more organised, I can always go back over them. Its great to leave them for a while then have a real photo day, nothing else gets done once I open up the photo file, I can sit for hours happily reminissing over the days and holidays gone by.

Enough chatting , time to upload some pics, hope you enjoy


Till next time, stay safe Teepee

  2. Hi Devine
    Paronella Park is one place you must go see. I saw a photo of it years ago and said I'm going there one day. When we got there it was $20 something to get in and we were wondering was it worth it, well I can say that it was worth so much more. It has a magic feel to it. Great history and the ABC did a bit of a story on it years back as well. Hope you get there. Stay safe Cheers Teepee
