I’m joining Becky in her February Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word Odd, referencing one of these definitions: different to what is usual or expected, or strange; a number of items, with one left over as a remainder when divided by two; happening or occurring infrequently and irregularly, or occasionally; separated from a usual pair or set and therefore out of place or mismatched. Look for #Squareodds.
While we didn’t travel as much as usual in 2021, we were fortunate to enjoy several holidays in our home state of Queensland and one short trip over the border into New South Wales. Join me this month in a retrospective look at the very odd year of 2021.
Highfields QLD, December 2021
We’ve reached the end of Becky’s February Square Odds challenge and my retrospective gallery of our travels in 2021.
Our last outing for the year, just before Christmas, was to a new craft brewery at Highfields where we enjoyed a delicious dinner with special friends.
The brewery’s seasonal decorations were a little unconventional but fitted their surroundings perfectly.
Happy Beermas to all!

Might as well put those barrels to good use!

I wouldn’t have liked to be the one trying to put them together.

Isn’t it. Not sure how they managed to get them there in the first place.

I’m yet to visit Toowoomba.
Hope you weren’t flooded out over the weekend!

We live up high so no flooding at our place, although the front yard is a soggy swamp. Lots of water in the CBD though.

Yes, I’ve seen and our back yard is swampy under foot!

I think we’ve all got off lightly compared with others. Very fortunate.

Good one. We have a couple of places at home that take lobster traps and make a tree out of them. 🙂

A great balancing act, though it does look as though they are cleverly stacked within a framework. So many wonderful places to visit in your neck of the woods. How far is it to Brisbane from yours?

It’s a 90 minute drive west of Brisbane and yes, there is plenty to see and do in south-east Queensland.

You can’t beat a craft brewery and they’ve been very imaginative with the barrels. Looks brilliant.

It was a bit of fun in the middle of a very difficult time with Omicron on the move. Luckily we seem to have got past that now.

Perfectly odd and a three-sided figure as well. with one side of the figure having 21 wheels. Oddly well done, my friend. 🙂

I would have loved to see the Christmas party that went with that tree.
Hope you guys have managed to stay dry up there.

Ha! Emptying those kegs would have taken some work. 🙂
Yes, all is well with us and everyone in our extended family. The water came close in a couple of cases but we’re all high and dry. Thanks for asking.
