No Dougall on this one. A special walk with a good friend and excellent historian through a very old (by Oz standards) suburb of Brisbane, New Farm. One of the early ones to be populated and built - there were lots of Italians and Greeks here, a fair few industries and enterprises, some murky criminal activity, and oh so many beautiful houses. We had the pleasure and the privilege to visit a couple on this walk and here are some photos of one of the houses which was truly magnificent in the way the owner had carefully restored it.
The stained glass windows all done by the owner herself who took it upon herself to learn the trade so as to make the house perfect. She has catered to every detail and aspect of its careful and thoughtful renovation and while we could just as easily find it in the pages of Home and Garden, it has a wonderful functionality and homeliness to it too.
