Cup day

Cup day and maths department party. Before the party I went to some good exhibitions at the QUT art gallery: William Robinson and some lithographs with lovely colour and feeling, and an exhibition called "Replant" where several artists were gathered together on the Daly River to draw, etch, paint, photograph plants.
Some lovely things of Fiona Hall, in particular, Green Ant Nest and Water lilies by Marita Sambono.

(I included the photo of the Banyan, because its structure reminded me of Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia.)

Tentative explorations

My first ventures into the city, today. Via the botanic gardens. Lunch in the city with Jane, and then after work, a drinking session with the other students. Then to North Quay and a ferry ride along the river under the darkening sky.
