New Staffer Harriet Burnside handles most of the Park’s weekend camera work. She’s affectionately called the “Shutter Girl” and does good work. She’s comes from the country.
She asked whether her clip from last weekend, of some visiting tourists had been posted.
If their was to be a caption, she suggested “brown cows”.
They stayed for over a hour; the Park is a must for inclusion in any quick look at Brisbane, especially at this time of the year.

It’s been a bleak start to this weekend; back to normal tomorrow, we’re told.

We suspect the Jacarandas will be in everyone’s sights.

As you know, we’ve been monitoring the progress of the Centennial Jacaranda plantings over near the Brunswick Street boundary. Their 2019 progress has not kept pace with the other Jacarandas in the Park, all of which are well into their Season. We’re told that the well established stock will be at their best over the next couple of weeks. The ring road is a delight to see.

Here are a couple of the Centennials taken earlier this week and from a fortnight ago.
There is more on the story on our Facebook page, all of which, including this and all others, can be accessed via the homepage of the website

“NEW FARM IN THE MORNINGS.......” Posting No. 8 and as always, much has been happening.

A busy roundabout, early am workout, hurry up, that’s a stretch, the near end of the Albizzia dump and those recent roundabout plantings.

Some of the Team went across to Brisbane’s leafy western suburbs earlier today, to take in an Open Garden event; its a regular feature of the Friends of Brisbane Botanic Gardens & Sherwood Arboretum.

It was something special: “Lumeah”. A private home surrounded by a sumptuous tiered display of plants, shrubs, trees and manicured lawns.

Some pics here.

Tom said on the way back, “......there’s nothing like that in New Farm”. #fbbgsa

.....and some more pics from last Sunday. We’ll feature a mid-week update on the Jacaranda, which at this stage are about a week or so away from their glorious best.
Much snapping seen today, likely much more next weekend.

....and some more Sunday pics. Their were a couple of Bus loads of visitors. They were well looked after. More on them later.

Sunday crowds did return to normal levels, taking in some late Spring conditions, after a day and night of a cleansing and most welcome stint of rain.

Harriet took in and covered some of the best organised gatherings, she’d ever seen.
It was a great day. She commented that everyone just seemed to be smiling.

A young man entertained some visitors with a variety of conjuring tricks involving his very precious pack of cards. He was good. Harriet will put up a clip on our Facebook page.
The EOTR Coffee outlet down by the CityCat Terminal continues to attract good numbers. It’s a great place just to let down, with the best views in town.

Mid-week numbers thereare usually made up of locals. They know !

There are a few other highlights on our Facebook page, together with a couple of interesting clips. We’ll spread them over a couple of days. All can be accessed from the homepage of the website www.newfarmpark.com.au

It was beautiful noise; the sound of rain again. Morning crowds at the Park were understandably sparse, but normal duties were resumed early in the afternoon, with clear blue skies returning.

Things will certainly be back to normal tomorrow.

Our predictions that freshening rain will bring on early dropping of some Jacaranda bloom, has been borne out. Just magic !

“NEW FARM IN THE MORNINGS.......” Posting No. 7 and as always, much has been happening.

Some digging to be done, a kick start to the day, how do I look ?, off to an am jam session, the Neighbourhood Centre gearing up and some new local Roundabout plantings.
There’ll be more on the plantings later.

Doing things well. Weekend visitors have all come very well prepared. “Fit for a king”, as they say.

This week had New Farm residents asked to “take a squiz at our new website”. This from the people who run the area’s popular magazine, My Village News.
The monthly rush to the letter box is now topped up with 24/7 access to all things happening on the Peninsula. It’s a good story and well told.

We’ve got a busy weekend ahead of us.

Some more pics from the front entrance. The 12 month old upgrade to a couple of small plots is coming along nicely. This patch of featured Bromeliads, in company with a healthy bunch of the popular Philodendrons (rojo congo) is doing well. They like this low light, part shade spot selected for them.

Staff like to give them a deep watering, once a week.

It’s very dry at the moment.

The Team visited the Park yesterday and saw much activity at the Brunswick Street front entrance. Park staff were involved in the major season ending pruning of the block of Lilly Pilly shrubs, dividing the driveways.
More later, but he had some help in tidying up.

“NEW FARM IN THE MORNINGS.......” Posting No. 6 and as always, much has been happening.

On the fitness trail and looking good, some even pay for it, they call this Jacaranda home, what’s up old friend ?, early caffeine hits in Oxlade Drive and boys’ toys everywhere.

Instagram post 2143984126842190572_8593123507

Perhaps the Spicers connect could give some background to what these little critters are doing. The balcony Euphorbia cuttings are coming along nicely. We’re hoping to get them into the Park.

Another busy weekend in the Park. It just appears the best way to spend a bit of quality time.
There is even more on our Facebook page; all can be seen on the website.

The Park’s first holiday casualties. This hive of hoodlums was asked to leave, after a minor disturbance up near the Brunswick Street boundary.
Staffer Axel escorted them to a waiting car. #g_e_o_r_g_e_b_l_a_k_e #naccas225 #hugo_dog

“NEW FARM IN THE MORNINGS.......” Posting No. 5 and as always, much has been happening.

It was Saturday morning; last Saturday.

Some people just don’t like jogging on their own, early morning reflections, a damp start to the Farmers Markets, Lassie came along but not allowed to join in, a mid morning lock-down and the oft seen local duo +1.

A busy Gallery weekend for all concerned, this time working out of that charming eating and meeting place, down by the CityCat Terminal. Newcomer Harriet again did well.
She saw plenty of comings and goings, the Boab not looking too bright, anyone for bikes, finishing of an overdue Assignment and some fancy fancy footwear on show.
