Sketches done in a Moleskine sketchbook with a copic multiliner and watercolour.
Meetup Point Coffee Club Riverside
The Group
1st Stop St Stephens Cathedral.
St Stephens Cathedral is the oldest Catholic Church in Queensland. It was built between 1864 and 1922
2nd stop Smellie and Co Edward Street 1895 AD.
One of Brisbane's oldest buildings is the Smellie & Co building at the bottom of Edward St. It dates back to the 1860s, when the RR Smellie & Co foundry was established in Alice St. A burgeoning Brisbane ensured that the firm grew, and by 1882, it had become Smellie & Co, a hardware and machinery retailer..
3rd stop. Botanic Gardens Moreton Bay Fig
The Moreton Bay Fig is a rainforest tree, and in that habitat it can be a 'strangler fig' - with it's seed setting high in the canopy and it's roots reaching right down to the ground, eventually growing to a stage that strangle it's host and stands alone. It can grow to 50m with wide buttressed roots.
4th Stop Streets Beach SouthBank
Australia's only beach in the middle of a city. Construction commenced in February 1991 and was complete by June 1992
We had a great day!!!!
