NSI 23 If Only This Boat Could Talk
If only this boat could talk... can you imagine the stories it could tell...it looks very weathered, it has barnacles all over it, there is moss growing on it, it looks like its had lots of coats of paint. I wonder where it has been, who has been in it, how many fish has it helped to catch?? so many many stories... if only it could talk!

Taken at Flinder's Beach on beautiful North Stradbroke Island. For those of you who don't know, North Stradbroke Island is just off the coast of Brisbane, Queensland's capital city. You cannot get there by car, you have to take a 50minute trip by the vehicular barge or a 20 minute trip by ferry. Once you get there you feel like you are in heaven. On this particular beach there is a small waterway running parallel to the beach. The reason it is this colour is because tannin is exuded from the leaves, dropped from surrounding Paperbark Melaleuca and Ti-trees Leptospermum, staining the water to a rich brown colour not dissimilar to that of tea.

This image of Brown Lake was used as the inspiration for Cai Guo-Qiang's "Falling back to Earth" exhibition at Queenslands Gallery of Modern Art recently. I was honoured to be involved if only in such a small way. My image is on page 86 of the table book that accompanied this incredible exhibition. http://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/exhibitions/past/2013/cai_guo-qiang
A very different part of North Stradbroke Island Forming part of the Naree Budjong Djara National Park, Eighteen Mile Swamp is a shallow, groundwater fed, freshwater coastal wetland stretching almost the entire length of the eastern side of the island. It is the largest of its kind in the world extending to Swan Bay in the south of the island: covers approximately 30km₂. The vegetation is dense and the swamp is home to many rare and endangered species. stradbrokeisland.com/straddie/view/eighteen-mile-swamp
