One of the first and oldest parks in Brisbane just a couple of kilometres from the centre of town. It had changed a lot from when I first moved to Brisbane over 25 years ago. The Power House and New Farm parks are located right next to each other.
We had just finished an other parkrun exercise workout, which was a free five kilometre timed event along the Brisbane river and now it was time for some exploring and to try and find some food.
A nice view of the city across the park close enough but far way to be peaceful and relaxing.
A massive Fig tree with play equipment built all around it, a great natural shaded area.
Some massive seed pods on a Moreton Bay Chestnut tree, also known as Black bean tree.
Saturday morning is market time.
It's always fun to visit a good farmer's market.
It got busy pretty early, everyone was out and about enjoying the great weather.
Some nice building murals to brighten the old building up.
A quick change of cloths out of my running gear and into the hive tshirt and rising star cap.
Lots of the other parkrun participants had the same idea as us, looking for food, coffee and doing some grocery shopping.
Lunch was vegetarian rosti
Unusal Art
These water craft look expensive and fun.
They have converted a lot of the old buildings along the river into prime real estate accommodation.

I spent I bit time working on the project that converted the old Brisbane City Power Station in a preforming art centre. My role was installing new lights and power points into the old revamped building.
