I really couldn't have a repeat of yesterday now dear reader, could I. Could I? Well, the body said yes, the mind said 'no, get up and about and start ticking items off that list of things to do and see before you leave'...I have a persuasive mind.
So, with much to do about the house, I thought it timely to go and (finally) catch up with the William Robinson Gallery, in the old Government House at Gardens Point. William Robinson is a wonderful Brisbane artist and it is really marvellous to see his works concentrated in one place now.
This particular exhibition has been curated by the Honourable Quentin Bryce, and it has her personal style and touch about it.

A much better day out than yesterday (though the rest was good) and one more thing ticked off the list.
