I haven't found a connection to flowers at this place, but I'll throw my guess out anyway while I keep looking:

are you at Newstead House? ....BOO! Brisbane's oldest haunted dwelling NEWSTEAD HOUSE Ghost Tours

...i don't think she is, nick, because she says it's a place where one might take flowers as a memorial.
Must be a cemetery. Ahhhhhh....the Toowong Cemetery!

You got it!!



Quote:
Once the city's main cemetery, the Toowong Cemetery is a Brisbane icon. It is located on the slopes of Mount Coot-tha in Brisbane's inner western suburbs, bordering Mount Coot-tha Botanic Gardens and the Brisbane Forest Park.

While the Toowong Cemetery was officially opened in 1875, some burials took place from 1871, most notably Queensland's second governor, Colonel Samuel Blackall.

The cemetery features a number of cultural areas, historical trails and memorials. Community groups are working with Brisbane City Council to maintain and advance the cemetery's condition.

There are new burial sites and ash memorial areas available at Toowong. Families with loved ones buried in the cemetery can always bury ashes within existing graves.

Shell's on a roll!

...why does that sound to me like it needs mayo on it? Furthermore, it also reminds me that I just had two sushi rolls for lunch which set me back a cool $28!...but it was from a new local place and I had to try it - cost be damned!...though it was a couple bucks more than my favorite sushi place near home.

My "Lucky Roll" was $12.95: spicy salmon, crunch tuna, & yellowtail inside; topped with black tobiko.
My "Eel Dragon Roll" was $14.95: king crab, avacado, crunch inside; smoked eel outside.

imstillthinkin but in the meantime I would like to be of service to any of our women in the audience by advising you that I recently learned that thongs might be on the wane while booty shorts might be on the rise so to speak...here's a nice pic and link

ok, since my tongue is loosened so to speak I'll add that I made more mistakes typing these last few words than I've made in the last month possibly due to a very fine, complex, dark Belgian beer I had with dinner which I will soon post with a pic in the "what the 'f..k are you eatin' right now" or similarly named thread in the food section. I spoiled it now, but the best would be if I actually left all the original typinc in palce ...funny shit
