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! 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.
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
The bathing nets at Amity Point are a safe haven for those who want to take a dip as Amity is notorious for sharks.
