Abbey Museum of Art and Archeology




Lost in the middle of nowhere in the Sunshine Coast, not far from Caboolture, there is there the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology, which  displays the history of civilisation from prehistoric man to the modern age. 







What surprised me it was the manuscripts collection!!!






These manuscripts, together with the paintings they have in the collection, but unfortunately not on display at the current stage, are some of the most valuable pieces of art to preserve.

...and there is more....






Next to the Museum there is even the St. Michael's  Church, which contains stained glass. This collection features windows from medieval through to Edwardian times and charts over a 1,000 years of European stained glass production. 





This is the outside...unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to take pictures inside!!


This place is really worth a visit!

Visiting the Sunshine Coast: Mooloolaba

During the last school holiday we went to Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, a beautiful place where to go during the summer and pass some wonderful days on the beach!! 

During the winter season it is nice to go outside Brisbane and spend  a different day!! and so we did...on the way we stopped so the children could have a snack and I saw this little bird and I liked it!!



Then we stopped to do a photo of the Ettamogah pub and...




...of the children and Scott next to the pub





and then we continued to drive to reach our final destination: Mooloolaba





No complains to be a winter day on the beach!!

...and then the children enjoyed the work by Mandy Shadfort, an artist in residence in 2006.








.....and after more play we came back to Brisbane...
