Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
@kartia the Powerhouse Museum is a heritage listed building, where Brisbane used to get all its electricity supplies. Once the city grew too big, it had to be moved. But the building was left. Now, it's a building of the arts, a theatre and is surrounded by parklands.
A lot of buildings are being kept these days and reused for different purposes. It's a great thing for the city.
@mozette I couldn’t agree more. I’m always so pleased to see great architecture (not to mention the resources that go into building them in the first place) being revitalised and people making memories there!
@kartia Brisbane used to have a huge dance hall on top of a hill at Bowen Hills called Cloudland. It was the main venue for everything, from SAT tests, debutante balls, to big rock bands of its time... but because it wasn't cared for, and the Brisbane City Council couldn't afford the upkeep, they had the awful Deane Brothers demolish it in 1981. My folks have never forgotten this, neither has anyone who used to go there. We're seeing more older buildings being kept now and cared for.
