Friday was a busy day as we went back into Brisbane from the retreat center where we were staying in Manly. We went to the Lone Pine Koala Preserve, to a Food and Wine Expo at the Exposition Center and saw a professional show of West Side Story at the Performing Arts Center. What a fabulous day it was! These many photographs tell the story...
