Wow. This contemporary home in East Brisbane, Australia is stunning. If you're a fan of black & gold, you'll especially love it. The 5bd, 6ba home is listed for $8,256,874.
Tumblr media
Can you imagine entering this home every day? It's incredible, isn't it? They do not show an actual photo of the sitting room. The photos are terrible.
Tumblr media
They don't even show this wonderful marble fireplace in its entirety.
Tumblr media
This is basically the only glimpse of a sitting area that we can see.
Tumblr media
This sitting room opens to the patio, but they only photographed a corner of it.
Tumblr media
Small bar for entertaining guests is outside the dining room.
Tumblr media
The large dining room arches have beautiful gold wallpaper with flying geese. Whoever took the photos was going for the artsy angle, rather than showcasing the actual rooms.
Tumblr media
Now, you may think that this is a bar, but it's actually one of those cleverly hidden kitchens.
Tumblr media
If you look closely, you can see a burner and a sink, b/c we don't want no damned kitchen messin' up the sleek look.
Tumblr media
The guest 1/2 bath has an interesting sink and whimsical fish wallpaper.
Tumblr media
The center hall and marble spiral stairs that go up to the bedrooms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm going to call this the primary bedroom. It has the very popular crane wallpaper, plus a sitting area with a fireplace and beautiful arched shelving.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the en-suite in black and gold. What an unusual sink cabinet.
Tumblr media
There's also this lovely makeup vanity.
Tumblr media
The closet appears to be inside the balcony that you see from the ground floor entrance.
Tumblr media
This bedroom has a more moody or jewel tone look.
Tumblr media
It has a smaller en-suite. All of the sink cabinets match, and this one is smaller with brown marble to match the wallpaper.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This bedroom suite has a larger bath with a sauna.
Tumblr media
I've never seen a sauna that wasn't wood.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, there's a guest suite with a shower.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This home is on a 6,427 sq ft lot.

An Epilogue for Australia 2023
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
An excerpt from:
My Country
By Dorothea Mackellar
We made all the arrangements for this trip last summer which seems ages ago now and it troubled us whether we had packed enough into the itinerary, if we were really just repeating too much, and if the destinations were to be interesting enough. We ought not to have worried because none of that was so. It turned out that the balance was almost perfect. Lovely to see Jill again and stay in her amazing apartment in Balgowlah which we like enormously. The cruise to NZ was really enjoyable, seeing both the south Island where we haven't been before and revisiting the north Island, especially Napier. We were particularly pleased to visit Christchurch which we loved and the Sounds were stunning. We felt so fortunate that we completed this cruise when we did because soon after Cyclone Gabrielle came across flooding areas in the north and of course our condolences go out to those people.
The second part of the trip I think changed the way we view this wonderful country, that is our journey to woop woop, pronounced wup wup ie the middle of nowhere and beyond. We broke ourselves in gently before getting to the outback by first calling into some amazing beaches and then heading due west. The outback is a different Australia entirely; the accent is different, harder, broader. Some live in such remote places that there's no apparent reason for the place to be there at all. The couple who ran the cattle station could, with binoculars, see their neighbours. The girl in the bottle shop in Roma dreamed of the day she might go to Bondi Beach! Outbackers do not go to cities which are most likely unaffordable, and city dwellers don't go to the outback apart perhaps from Uluru, called Ayers Rock in pre decimal days. There are at least three levels of society in this amazing country, City, Outback and First Nation. We absolutely loved the outback; we loved the simplicity, the isolation, the one street, the bar where it goes quiet when you walk in, the friendliness, the pleasure they get when outsiders visit their town, the nothingness, the 'I went to Brisbane once, I didn't like it ' comment, the 'if we need to go shopping we drive 2 hours to Charleville', the big huge skies, the massive sunsets, the red dirt, the space, the long long straight empty roads, drive for 280km and not see a single building, community that appears to actually work, we loved it all that's all nearly 5000kms of it in Mr Avis's SUV.
We learned stuff. Staying on the cattle station we saw how hard life could be with not enough help, the danger of moving heavy cattle around, the changing climate, the financial loss that results from drought, the difference rain can make, the condition of the grass therefore life for the cattle or not. Having witnessed the cows being sent to market was a salutary moment for a meat eater versus vegetarian or at least non beefeater.
The rains had returned to the east of Australia with the red dirt turning green. This meant more food for animals such as kangaroos which meant they were not so evident in human occupied land. They talk of El Nino and the effects it has on the climate, La Nina is it's opposite number and it would appear there's a transition. We saw the vast coal mining operations in Newcastle and Blackwater and are both disturbed by this but also understand the economic arguments that allow it's continuance.
We learned more about Australian dinosaurs, crocodiles and how to kill one if necessary, cattle handling obviously, Australian politics and how similar they are to ours, societal problems like interest rate levels, inflation, long hospital waiting lists for hip replacements, shortage of doctors, superannuation, staff shortages in general, mortgage rates, high cost of energy, shortages, scrutiny over COVID handling, proposed Submarine purchases from AUKUS and the list goes on and on and we rub our eyes to see if we are at home or abroad!
The outback is such a fascinating place of great extremes. It breeds a tough and resilient kind of person constantly battling against an environment that views humans as an itch that needs to be scratched, a boil that needs lancing and moreover eradicated. Nature wiped out the dinosaurs of Winton millions of years ago and it does its best now to get rid of their modern day replacements. It does this by seven years of immense drought followed by fire terrifyingly tearing across the tinder dry land and scrub killing and destroying anything in its path. Then come the rains with such intensity the waters rebound, fill the creeks and the vast floodplains drowning animals small and large that inevitably get caught up in it. And then comes the cyclone that blows away structures and trees that dare to challenge it. Nevertheless the communities are tough and stubborn and rebuild because this is a great land. If you want precious stones mounted in precious metals, it is to be found here. If it can be eaten, drunk or cooked with, it is here. If it is needed to generate heat or power then it can be found here. If it is a rare mineral and it is to be found in the periodic table, it can most likely be found in Australia somewhere. If you want to make batteries for new generation electric vehicles, the lithium can be found there. If you want to increase your chances of being bitten, poisoned or eaten to death then Australia has it in droves. It is not the home of Shakespeare; no play contains the words G'day Mate, or own any work entitled Two Gentlemen from Woop Woop, but they try. They are both a young country with no history beyond 200 years and yet they have the combined history's of its many nationalities. They also have the fascinating and hidden history of the indigenous peoples going back 60,000 years! They have European Art which is developing more now into something of their own. More encouraging is that indigenous works are beginning to be appreciated now as works of art in their own right and not as they previously were merely as objects of interest.
This is a marvellous country unsurpassed anywhere else on the globe and deserves to be explored and appreciated for the incredible experiences it so readily offers
Perhaps one of the last images we will recall might be at Sydney Airport:
'Repack or pay' screamed the fierce looking Australian woman behind the Malaysia Airlines check-in desk at the overweight Indian family presenting equally overweight luggage. She could do well in a banshee yelling competition. They were escorted to a quiet spot where silver changed hands.
We have so enjoyed our time here with the variety of things we have done. We went to the SOH three times on this trip and were blown away by each performance, each different from the previous in different ways. We took a very fond look back at Sydney Harbour as we walked away from it last night, the place we really love and of course Manly, not wanting to leave it, but it's au revoir not goodbye, we are simply going to be absent for a while and we shall be back.

Our global theme for July is TREASURE. It was chosen by our Brisbane chapter,  illustrated by Spectator Jonze, and is presented by Mailchimp. 
Discover something valuable in your feed with the hashtags #CMtreasure & #CMATX
Treasure takes many forms, both physical and intangible. Yours may be a ring that has been passed down to you from your ancestors. A hidden spring of water in a parched land. The budding, implicit trust of a new friend. New photographs of the wider galaxy, full of iridescent swirls of matter and light. The ruins of a people from a faraway time and place. 
Our instinct is to clutch them tightly. We seal our treasures in glass cases, to preserve them from time's decay, to display them as testaments to our worth. We fear their loss, yet in this fear, we lose our ability to cherish them. We must soften our grip and magnify our time spent in their presence, precisely because nothing will stay with us. Eventually, even crown jewels will pass into dust. 
What happens when we expand what we treasure beyond the rare, the beautiful, and the precious to the ordinary and the unnoticed? Even graffitied poetry on the side of a bus stop is a relic of someone who had passed through there, leaving traces for future archaeologists to excavate. What treasures can only you discern?

P&O Australia Celebrates 90th
youtube
P&O Cruises has launched celebrations of the 90th anniversary of cruising at a history filled event hosted aboard the newly refurbished Pacific Encounter. 
The occasion marks 90 years of P&O offering scheduled cruises from Australian ports, with the first voyage taking place aboard the P&O ocean liner Strathaird. 
Strathaird’s first Australian cruise sailed from Sydney to Brisbane and onward to Norfolk Island. It was so popular that it sold out in three days and demonstrated the significant desire for Australian pleasure cruising. 
While passengers were excited to see ports such as Brisbane and Norfolk Island on the first voyages, the ship was the real appeal; especially when the voyage was being booked on one of the famous Strath-sisters such as Strathaird and Strathnaver. 
In fact, it was so successful, that P&O undertook a further five cruises in that inaugural season, with voyages aboard Strathaird, Strathnaver, Moldavia, Narkunda and Maloja taking place throughout 1933. So, what was life on the early cruises like? 
Well, very different that’s for sure. 
Today we are used to cruises being all encompassing experiences where your every whim is catered for. There are teams of entertainment staff aboard each cruise ship to ensure passengers are kept entertained for the entire trip. Take P&O’s Pacific Encounter for example. 
She’s got two show lounges, a shipboard hotel, multiple restaurants, a spa, swimming pools and the on-deck Edge experience including zip lines, rope ladder climbing and the brand-new twin racer waterslides. Now it won’t come as a surprise to you that the first P&O cruises did not offer waterslides. But they also didn’t offer much of what is available today. 
After boat drill, on day one, passengers would be invited to nominate a committee of other passengers who were then tasked with developing an entertainment programme. 
The purser’s office would provide a few staff to help, but it was up to the travellers to arrange the actual events. Popular activities on the early cruises included egg and spoon relays, bucket and ball, as well as push the bottle. Despite the simple entertainment, the cruises were very popular and passenger demand increased. 
This was bolstered in 1934 when the P&O liner Cathay undertook a circumnavigation of Australia – the first P&O cruise of its kind, and something that pioneered Australian cruising travel even further. 
Over the decades, P&O Cruises has grown to become Australia’s leading cruise brand. The 1980s saw Oriana cruise here, as well as the beloved Fairstar which was unquestionably Australia’s favourite cruise ship. 
Fairstar was followed by Fair Princess which was in-turn replaced by Pacific Sky. By the 2000s the brand was introducing more and more cruise ships to sail locally – some names you may remember including Pacific Sun – the former Jubilee, Pacific Star – the former Tropicale, Pacific Dawn – the former Regal Princess, Pacific Pearl – the former Ocean Village, Pacific Jewel – the former Crown Princess, Pacific Eden – the former Statendam and Pacific Aria – the former Ryndam. 
Today the brand has three large ships – Pacific Encounter, Pacific Adventure and Pacific Explorer. These ships continue the P&O cruising tradition, sailing on pleasure voyages from Aussie ports to the South Pacific. 
Happy 90th Anniversary P&O Cruises, and here’s to the next 90!
