Death and Taxes Cocktail Bar for Sign2

 

Death and Taxes has the best menu for cocktail list. There are over 70 types of recipes on the app that we go through the list.

The store is spotted by us in the daytime first. Then at night, the whole place comes alive.

Cleveland coast Brisbane for Treasure Tuesday

 

Joel and I saw the sign saying "gorgeous Red Coast" on the freeway. So we made a turn and explored this region. It turned out Red Coast was not red yet quite dull to visit. Too built up for our liking. 

Then besides the mangrove bush, this abandoned old dock was observed. Few minutes later, the whole ground was covered in water.

Serenity Waterfall, Sunshine Coast for Sunday Best

 

Serenity falls is quite elegant on the way to Noosa. There are so many Vloggers around the area making it so hard to photograph this fall. 

I caught up with my buddy Joel for a trial of best state meat pie in Victoria. There is a whole scotch egg inside the pie. Quite impressed.

Bee for Saturday Critter

 

A bee or wasp. I cannot tell exactly what it is either. I just like the green bokeh. 

It was a late night yesterday. My pal and myself went searching for the sweet spots taking the gorgeous surfer's paradise sunset. It was not a disappointing experience. Persian Dinner at the nearby location too.

Lake Tyrrell for Tom's Sign2

 

Lake Tyrrell is my regular spot for a sunset snap. Strictly speaking, it is a reverse sunset I am snapping. The word Tyrrell in first nation language means "expanse" or "Space". 

Day 2 in Brisbane, I have captured tons of photos. So unmotivated to attend this conference that does not do updates as they should have. I will aim to explore the sunshine coast tomorrow.

Tree of life light up in Swan Hill - a treasure 

I am day 1 in Brisbane. The hotel does not allow check in until 15 pm. That is a bit late compared to the average check in time around 13 pm. 

I might not be able to post because I will be visiting Moreton Island for some ship wreck snapping opportunities.
