Finding Sanctuary

As Brisbane begins a new lockdown thanks to the utter selfishness of some community members & a veritable landslide of poor planning on behalf of the federal government, I thought I would share some beautiful, calming photographs from a recent morning spent exploring my happy place, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, with my parents. Honestly, I can't express how much I had missed the greenery, the animals, the smell of eucalyptus & the views of the meandering Brisbane River & although the Covid response has wrought many changes (most obviously the method of feeding the lorikeets in the morning & late afternoon), it was still just as wonderful as ever; a sanctuary in every sense of the word.

For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous paisley-printed cotton mini smock dress with puff sleeves & ruffled yoke neckline from Aussie label Witchery, a pair of comfortable yet stylish blue pink leather sneakers from Frankie 4 Footwear & a white vinyl crossbody bag with silver hardware from Forever New to carry all the essentials while leaving my hands free for kangaroo feeding, koala cuddling & coffee guzzling... you know, the important stuff...
