Brisbane – Festival City
by Eva Wynne
September in Brisbane is always interesting. I love it because it means Summer is on it’s way – and I am rather fond of a good summer. A pervasive spirit of excitement and anticipation starts to infect all human exchanges – people are outdoors more, socialising more, smiling more.

I also know Antony + the Johnsons will be in Australia soon for the 2012 Melbourne Festival for a special performance of Swanlights.

Brisbane Winter Festival
by Eva Wynne
We’re celebrating winter big-time this year in Brisbane. An authentic cold-snap is well underway in the city. Personally, I’ve always laughed at Brisbane’s winter – it brings out the ridiculous from residents.
