Early morning view today. Such a weird feeling waiting for devastation to arrive. Stalled off the coast & due Friday.

Street art, detail with tiger roaring & the words "stay humble"

Took a wrong turn. The city walls spoke. #Brisbane

Another gorgeous day in SE Queensland, in between showers & flood warnings.

Melbourne laneway with a sign of the times.
