Weekend Life....Happy Australia Day! (Noosa, Queensland, Australia)

Noosa, Queensland, Australia, November 2011. 

Tomorrow, 26th January, is Australia Day so I thought I would post some photographs from Noosa, one of my favourite places in Australia. Some of the photos you might have seen before in last year's post.

So, to any Aussie readers, no matter where you are in the world (whether baking hot in Darwin or shivering in Quebec), Happy Australia Day! Tomorrow morning I will having my own little Australia Day breakfast: toasted sourdough with vegemite and avocado + a flat white.

p.s.My thoughts are with all of the Queenslanders who are currently battling the floods.

p.p.s. The lovely Kate from I'm not a Celebrity blog did a lovely post on my favourite Aussie breakfast. LOVE her turkish bread baking!! Check it out here

Weekend Life....This is Australia


Weekend Life....Australia Day Special!

It is Australia Day on 26th January (hurrah!), and Kate from I Am Not A Celebrity asked whether I would give a little interview and share some photos for a series she is doing this week on Aussies living in the UK. I pulled some of my photos from my trip back home last year to Australia for her, and thought I would share them on my blog as well. They were taken in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Noosa and I guess are a (small) insight into Aussie life through my eyes/camera lens. I still intend to do a post on each place, sharing some of my favourite places to shop, eat and drink coffee but with fashion month approaching, I am not sure I will have time to do that for a little while. So think of this as an amuse bouche to limber up your appetite for more Aussie photos :)

p.s.I am continually grateful to every single person who allows me to take their photo, stranger or not. It makes me happy that people trust me enough to let me make a photo of them.....and that applies especially to people wearing swimsuits!

I hope you enjoy this little glimpse of Australia just like Oprah did in this clip (joined by Hugh, Keith, Nicole, Russell and Olivia at the Sydney Opera House). I admit I had a little "moment" when I watched the video the other night....twice :)

So whether you are celebrating Australia Day in Queenland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, NT, South Australia, Western Australia, Tassie or around the world, at the beach, watching the cricket, firing up the barbie, sheltering from the rain (Queenslanders), munching on lamingtons, pavlova, Anzac bikkies and mini meat pies, knocking back a few beers, Happy Australia Day for tomorrow!
I still call Australia home for sure.

p.s. If you are in London this week, Taylor St Baristas are doing a flattie (flat white) and lamo (lamington) special this week for Australia Day.
