Today is Chinese New Year Day. First things I wish to say, Happy Chinese New Year and have a great year of Dragon. By the way, yesterday, I saw there was a performance for creating ice sculpture.
Look! That seems to create an ice dragon. But I got an appointment, I cannot wait for finishing of that ice sculpture.

On Monday(23/1/2012), that is the Chinese New Year’s day. But Sunnybank Plaza has started their Chinese New Year Program. At 3pm today, I went to Footcourt in Sunnybank plaza. There was Loin & Dragon Dance Performance. A lot of people were watching in there. That is not just our Chinese, there are a number of Australian too! Everyone is very enjoy in there. We can experience the joy of Chinese New Year!
Moreover, Loin Dance is very cool! Those two loins both look like very young , they are full of energy. They kept to run and jump around the foodcourt! After the Loin Dance, that is the showtime of Dragon! That is a shiny blue dragon! That looks beauty. In Hong Kong, we only have those golden dragon. That is my first times to see a blue dragon dance. That is cool!
Well, there is a chance. On 3pm Tomorrow(22/1/2012) , there will be another session of performance.

When I had my breakfast in Sunnybank Plaza, I saw there is a dragon on display. I think that is for the dragon dance tomorrow. Please remember there will be a dragon dance on tomorrow(21/1) and Sunday at 3pm.

Twin Falls is one of major water falls in Springnbrook. The key feature of this water fall contains two water falls. Moreover, there is a walking track too! This track is suitable for most people. Last times, we have spent around an hour and half for walking to the bottom of the fall and back to the starting point.
At the end of this track, you can experience the water fall!
Besides, you can walk over a creek on this walking track. That is nice!
Getting there:
We can park your car near Tallanbana picnic area which is located at the Springbrook Road. That is the entrance of track.

If you go to Southbank and plan to have a fine dinner, I recommend Kapsali. Dinnering in Southbank can be quite expensive. But the dinner price of Kapsali is relative fair. My friends ordered a sea platter for two, that is only $34.50. It has Pawns, Oyters, Fish, Calamari and fruits.
Looks!That’s huge!!! I have tasted a bit of that. That is tasty and fresh!
Not just sea platter, I ordered Barramundi. That is very good too! A fresh taste of fish! But that is a bit expensive, $29.50.
Moreover, if you sit outside of the restaurant, you can enjoy the view of Brisbane river!
That is not bad at all!

One year ago, we got flood hit our Brisbane city. Southbank and City area are affected. Toowong, Milton, Rocklea,… a lot of areas are affected too. Even some areas have the water level at the roof top height.
This floods destroyed a lot of homes, and 33 people lost their life in this Queensland flood.
Our Brisbane people are very strong. We had a super large volunteer clean up force. According to the Wikipedia , that was around 55,00 people. They went every affected suburb in Brisbane to clean up. During this year, we are working hard to re-build. I visited some areas which are affected by flood. The most of them are restored as before the flood arrived.
Unfortunately, there are some people lost their family and not everyone can get some money from the insurance claim to re-build their home.
I think you may have Chicken Curry with Rice before. Most of times that is in a bowl. This Monday, I went to Coffee Square in Sunnybank. That is quite special, this one is in a wok. This is a good idea to keep the Chicken Curry always warm. Moreover, I like curry sauce too! That is not very hot. I recommend this one!
