A rare incidence of where #Queensland is ahead
#Australia: As a place to fix, mend, and connect, #RepairCafes battle loneliness as well as waste
By Emma Hannigan, Wed 12 Feb
"In south-east #Queensland's Scenic Rim, the sound of tools and laughter fills the air at the #TamborineMountain Repair Cafe.
"While 93-year-old volunteer Leon Hughes sharpens a pair of antique Japanese scissors, fellow repairer Neville Warner tackles a piano accordion.
"'We get all kinds of jobs,' according to coordinator Geoff Marshall, 'from sharpening knives, scissors and gardening tools to furniture repairs and fixing wobbly chairs'."

Time as passed quiet a bit since my last post.
Lately I been endeavouring shooting black and white in my local forest. It enable me to be more creative and shoot in condition I would probably have disregarded before. Like on the following where it is midday with no fog ;)
This Photo is from a gigantic Gumtree in the rainforest of Tamborine mountain.

Ooopsie. ABC Radio Brisbane on 612 AM has just fallen off-air (stopped in the middle of the news). Still on-air on 106.1 FM in Brisbane. My guess is that the emergency generator will take a few minutes to get going. #brisbane #queensland #cyclonealfred
Good morning tooters. When oh when is the weather going to cool. I had my hopes up, but it’s going to be in the 30’s for another week - 33c for today & it’s 20c already.
It’s a bit of a busy day for me today so I have to get moving. After I’m showered I will take the dogs for a walk stopping off to feed the animals at the other house. After which I’ll bring the dogs back to here & head into Wodonga to give my own garden a very good soaking to tide it over for the last couple of days in Chiltern. I will visit my sister for a while before I come back out here. She was expecting a visit from our younger sister & family who are making their way back from Sydney via a stop off at Mt Hotham where they are now held up for most of day with a road closure due to a bike race. So they won’t be stopping in at all, not even for a short while . My older sister is very disappointed & personally I have my own thoughts about it, but will keep them to myself. #Family
Have a great #Sunday people, keep cool out there & stay safe my pocket friends in #Queensland & northern #NSW
