A few pictures taken by me over the last week. Sadly my camera is hopeless at focusing whenever I use the zoom, it's very frustrating. But then it is only a cheap digital camera (Olympus C310).

Unusual building on Mt Cootha, I think it is something to do with the Catholic church

excellent pix aussiebuoy! love Ipswich landscape. the anglican church there is a bueaty! whats the tall bldg on hill? hospital?

AussieBhoy, the buildings on the hill in the 4th pic is Stuartholme Catholic Girls School. Typical Catholic Church to have all the best parcels of land!!!

Cull, I think the big church you may be referring to in Ipswich is a Catholic one, the tall (for Ipswich) building on the hill is the hospital. There is a plan for a 20 level building in Ipswich, which will be just to the right of the 2 pictures above.

GMAC, thanks for that, always wondered what the building was, what a good view they must have.

Its the St Stephens Church.
The 37m spire was one of the tallest structures in QLD when completed in 1857

Nice collection Aussie Bhoy - good to see some of Brisbanes suburban skylines, even if there not match for Sydney's

That Toowong Village tower looks great - is it offices? Talk about reflective!

that building on mt cootha that you said was unusual is Stuartholme College.. What brisbane person doesnt know that?????

Nice pictures of Brisbane! :) Well done Aussie Bhoy.

Did you take any more pics of the Anglican Church in Woolongabba? Looks like a very interesting building... would love to see it in detail!

Excellent pic Aussie Bhoy.

In the last pic posted by Oriolus the carpark is rather dominant. :ohno:

Great pics - You wouldn't know Ipswich had 140,000 people judging by its rather small skyline - it is sure to grow with many more additions soon.

^ wow, 140,000? thats amazing. I wouldnt of thought that ether :P

Fab pix btw Aussie Bhoy, its great to see some threads getting around about brissy's suburbs....

Ipswich pales in comparison to Toowoomba - a much smaller city with a bigger skyline and city feel. I think Ipswich is too close to Brisbane to feel big.
