So I haven’t been around lately – mostly because I haven’t really been up to too much to be honest. Apart from an overnighter to the Sunshine Coast in early September, I have been mostly hanging out with my gorgeous great, great niece (who at time of posting is nearly 10 weeks old).

Anyway, here are some of the highlights of September via Instagram

My most liked photo of the month (actually this is my most liked photo ever!)

My niece lives on the other side of Brisbane. It takes about 30 minutes from her house to mine. Sometimes after I've visited I will take the CLEM7 tunnel, which goes under the Brisbane River, to get home quickly but sometimes I take a detour through the city.. today was one of those times. I'd say it was worth the detour. Photo was taken of the Riverside Expressway & Brisbane City from the Kurilpa footbridge with my Samsung 9+

Ticking off a bucket list item by visiting these cute boatshed on the Maroochy River on the Sunshine Coast

Ticked off one of my South East QLD bucket list items today.. the boat sheds on Maroochy River. There are 5 of these sheds along Bradman Avenue that date from the 1940's and are all very different. Seriously, these boat sheds are just so cute!

Wild & windy weather at the Bongaree Jetty on Bribie Island

Went to Bongaree Jetty, it was really windy & cloudy but you can still make out the Glasshouse Mountains in the background

The lone ranger. I also took this photo without a person but actually liked this one with one lone man walking down the alley

Reminiscing about previous travels

My sister is currently driving around Devon & I am totally jealous.. driving around England is one of my favourite things. I love all the small villages & cute thatched houses

Six weeks today I'll be winging my way back to Copenhagen to start my four week trip through Denmark & Germany…. I am not prepared emotionally, physically or financially. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Oh yeah. Coz I get to see places like this!

The reason why I haven’t done a heck of a lot this month

View this post on Instagram

I haven't been doing a heck of a lot of exploring lately because my gorgeous 9 week old great, great niece is too delicious for words and I've been spending time with her & watching her grow so fast.

October isn’t really looking too different from September, although Brisbane Open House is coming up so there might be some photos from that weekend.

My November trip is fast approaching and I have been trying to work out the best way to bring the adventure to you. One of my Insta friends is currently on a trip and is posting a daily diary so I am thinking of doing something similar – in the very least I am hoping it will give me the incentive I need to write about the trip.
