Not only the weather was divinely sunny and warm, but also the good company (thanks Andrew :) and the new Art exhibitions, create just the perfect Sunday.
Chai Lattes are a gateway to everything good and holy!!!
Fly Away Home has been thoughtfully designed by artist Fiona Hall, with young and older children in mind. There are themes of migration of both humans and birds to be explored. Thoughts of seasonal re-location float through our conversation and the need to protect the environment for the future.
A little paper bag full of inspirational materials to make a bird and nest is presented - recycled paper, paper cup, special "money" and a bird outline. Then we walk into an amazing nest-like room to sit at friendly activity stations full of pens, scissors, sticky tape and glue. Heaven indeed.
There are plenty of fascinating bird facts to read while you craft a birdy creation. At the end, you can give your creation a name, take your bird home, or place it in a wall niche to donate to the exhibition.
Andrew's perfectly inspired :)
As we recover, remember, reflect and rebuild, Floodlines: a living memory pays tribute to the resilience and community spirit of Queenslanders, in the face of devastating natural disasters of the summer of 2010–11.
