ANZAC DAY 25th April 2025

Lest We Forget

“There can be no proper perception of our future unless we remember our past.
……..
Our country's future development depends immeasurably on the lessons we learn from our people's past.”

The Hon. D.J. Killen, M.H.R. Former Minister for Defence.

Chillin’ sipping coffee at #SideStreetEspresso (448 Boundary Street) while Troy’s getting eye surgery
The Host by #StephenieMeyer is keeping me company with a side of caffeine.
Will Troy see 🎵 A whole new world #BookishVibes #SpringHill #Brisbane #EyeOnRecovery #AWholeNewWorld #BrisbaneCafe
A cozy outdoor café setting with a small round table holding a copy of the book "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer and a white takeout coffee cup with a lid. In the background, a glass door with the "Support Your Local, Side Street, 448 Boundary Street” logo reflects painted red and green flowers painted on inside walls. A "Closed” sign can be seen in the bifold doors which are surrounded by wicker chairs and a lush plastic green wall at end of the brick veranda/sidenook. The scene is brightly lit with natural light. A person (me) wearing sunglasses (blue tinted Tiffany sunglasses) and a pink jacket with a pink and white striped shirt holds a white coffee cup with "AF" - Almond Flat White written on it, drinking from it. In front and I’m holding up to camera is a book titled "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer, featuring a large eye on the cover. Above, there is a wooden sign that reads "Support Your Local, Side Street Espresso, 448 Boundary Street” hanging outside a café with plastic greenery visible in the background.

What do you think the meaning or symbolism of that mural is?

I do wish I knew how to take more interesting angles and photos with my iPhone but I don’t 😟sorry so just boring 🥱 same old photos
A large, vibrant mural on the side of a tall building features two stylized faces, one with a finger to their lips and the other with colorful, abstract designs and star-like shapes on their cheeks. The mural includes whimsical elements like a unicorn horn and a third eye, set against a backdrop of swirling blues and greens with clover-like patterns. Trees in the foreground partially frame the scene under a partly cloudy sky. 1886 - MUNICIPAL PUBLIC BATHS JAMES HIPWOOD MAYOR The upper portion of a beige building with arched windows and a slightly weathered facade is shown under a clear blue sky. The text "1886 - MUNICIPAL PUBLIC BATHS JAMES HIPWOOD MAYOR" is visible at the top, written in green letters, with a satellite dish mounted on the roofline. The architectural style suggests an older, possibly historic structure. A green door with four panels is set into a beige wall, framed by a white trim. Above the door, an arched window with black bars adds an architectural detail. The wall shows signs of weathering, and a small step leads up to the door, suggesting an entrance to an older building. A wall sticker in a cafe features a cute cartoon bear peeking out from behind a vertical line, with one paw raised in a wave. Above the bear, the word "Welcome!" is written in a curved, bold font, and next to the bear, the word "Hi" is accompanied by a small heart in a speech bubble. The background is a plain beige wall.

A close-up of a bearded dragon lizard's head, showcasing its detailed, scaly skin with a mix of light and dark shades. The lizard has a prominent eye with a dark pupil and a small, red marking near its snout. Spiky scales extend along the side of its head, and the background consists of a rocky, pebble-strewn surface. A close-up of a fully bloomed pink rose with soft, layered petals, surrounded by green leaves and other roses in various stages of bloom. Some white and faded pink roses are visible in the background, with small water droplets on the petals, indicating freshness. The scene is set in a natural garden environment. The smell was gorgeous!! A butterfly with dark/black wings speckled with white spots is perched on a small yellow flower with green buds and broad leaves in the background. The scene is set in a lush, natural environment with vibrant greenery. A set of weathered stone steps leads up to a well-maintained garden area with lush green grass, trimmed bushes, and tall palm trees. In the background, a cityscape with modern buildings is visible under a partly cloudy blue sky, with sunlight casting shadows on the steps.
