Well hello ! How great is life in Brisbane or South East Queensland or even for others I met today wandering around the Precinct who have traveled up from New South Wales to see various exhibitions!!! Fabulous! We are all here to enjoy the restaurants and the scene along the river.. it's first class.! .. and so interesting!!!... so much to do!!! beautiful weather!!! It is certainly a real privilege to be able to enjoy all that the Gallery of Modern Art(GOMA), The Queensland Museum. The Science Museum and State Library exhibitions have to offer.

Today, particularly the Gallery of Modern Art,(GOMA, as it's known,) that sits majestically beside the Brisbane river and the international exhibitions that come here are quite exceptional! Often these are the only time these exhibitions are showing anywhere in the world and for me, who has travelled 88 countries to see some of the magnificence of the Social and Cultural heritage of the world this is amazing!

No aeroplane ticket required, no, no discomfort long hours stuck in a seat, travel bugs to suffer, and thousands and thousands of dollars needed to be spent! ... and that's before I even mentioned Covid-19!!! I enjoyed exhibitions at the library and certainly enjoyed the fabulous exhibition at GOMA..100 years of Motorcycle, Design, Art

We had lunch this time at the Museum Cafe...very busy for a Sunday and unfortunately by 2:15pm they're starting to run out of lunch supplies as the kitchen closes.

We were still able to get coffees, drinks and a good assortment of foods, certainly not first class, but ok under the conditions. Burgers, fish and chips, cakes, croissants pies, vegetarian rolls and some salads milkshakes and cakes. We managed to get the last serving of crumbed fish and chips and a lamb pie. Many folk were waiting in line after us missed out. My advice to the visitor is to get in early enough. However as an industry professional I would advise these cafes in the busy area to make the best of the marketing dollar and stay open a bit later. Not all of us have set ridged lunch hours on weekends. We like to be timetable free and we eat accordingly not just set hours. There is money to be made...and opportunities to keep local and interstate visitors a lot happier. .... not quite up to the standard of other days when I've been here but we had a fantastic time none the less.
