Like Christmas in July
I ended up taking a long walk along the river last Saturday evening. Walking up the stairs from the river to the top of Kangaroo Point, panting and sweating by the time I reached the top, it was hard to imagine, still, that it's the Christmas season. Her Excellency Ms. Quentin Bryce, AC Governor of Queensland, put it best when she wrote, "Christmas in Queensland is a far cry from those familiar images of Yule logs, snow and mistletoe. For us it's jacarandas in full bloom, watermelon, pineapple and stone fruit; sandcastles instead of snowmen, and lightning instead of log fires."
