Late night adventures
“I’m going on an adventure.” —Bilbo Baggins On Sunday night, I posted a quote on my Facebook which said: “I want a late night adventure. I want someone to call me up and say, “I’m outside. Let’s go do something!” I want to go out late at night in my pjs. Maybe drive around. Go […]
MoreCork & Chroma, Brisbane
I have never fancied myself as much of an artist having always preferred a pen to a paintbrush, but give me a bottle of champagne, a blank canvas and some old-school tunes and suddenly I have the talent of Picasso. Or at least one of those elephants in Thailand that paint pictures for tourists. On […]

Originally founded in Berlin in 2006, Papergirl Brisbane follows a simple concept: art and writing is submitted by the […]
MoreMoonlight Cinema, Brisbane
As the big screen spluttered to life, a hush fell over the gathered audience. The air smelt of hot buttery popcorn mixed with insect repellent and bats in the nearby fig trees competed with the rustling of bean bags as we settled in for a three-hour adventure to Middle Earth. This was summer in Brisbane at its […]
MoreApocalypse not
According to R.E.M, the end of the world starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane. In my opinion, today—21 December 2012—did not. It was tipped to be the day the world would come to an end; ancient Mayan prophecy predicted the planets would align, the sun would activate and the deluge would begin. […]
