2020 A-Z Challenge Preview

Are we crazy?  Or are we having a mid-life crisis?

You have probably heard of "Tree Change" or "Sea Change"?  But what about a "City Change"?

At age 50 something, we made the move from country Victoria to the city of Brisbane, Queensland.  Why?

We followed the signs!......................

This was totally out of character for me.  I am (was) an over-thinker and will normally think about every option, possibility, benefit, disadvantage and even make lists of pros and cons before making important decisions!  However, this time we made a decision totally out of character, based on gut-feeling rather than logic!

I won't bore you with the details, but over the prior years all the 'stars aligned' and one event after another led us to great change and moving to the sunnier and warmer climate of Brisbane.  After a lifetime of living and working in country Victoria and 32 years working with one employer,  we uprooted our lives and moved 1500 kilometres north to suburban Brisbane and uncertainty.

Being new-comers to this stunning state of natural beauty, we have spent many of our weekend's (with my camera in hand) exploring Queensland.  Over the month of April, I shall share some of my photos and favourite discoveries in Queensland.  I hope that I can inspire you to get out of the house and explore your local area.....or Queensland.
