During October and November the Jacaranda Tree creates a spectacular display of purple through many Brisbane streets and avenues.
Remember the Arbour winding it's way through the South Bank Parklands? Here's another view against a backdrop of purple. Photo by Smurfie.

Best time to see them here in Brisbane is late October to early November. But if you miss them don't worry - from now until Christmas the beautiful Poinsianas are coming into season.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for all your well wishes. I have missed visiting you guys these past two weeks!
This morning we hitched our wagon ('trailer')to the car and have carefully packed all our worldly goods. We almost feel like pioneers (only our rig has fully independent suspension, air conditioning, cruise control and about 150 horse power)! :-o)
I'll let you know how we have settled in down in the south east of the country.
At this stage getting access to internet for a month or so may be difficult. So please don't worry if you don't hear from me for a few weeks. Until then..
Hugs & love

The Jacarandas are such an amazing shade of purple, aren't they? I love when they bloom here! Be safe on your journey and happy when and where you settle in! Looking forward to hearing from you again soon!
Hugs,
Cynthia
OMGosh, those trees are breathtaking. I could just live underneath those trees just to be able to look at them each day. I have never seen anything like that in my life. Thank you!
Just beautiful photo's, thank you!
This has to be my favourite tree! Gorgeous pics....
What an adventure you're embarking on!...You'll be sorely missed while you're away from the blogosphere...I'll keep a kettle on for you.
I've never seen these! How delightful! So they have a scent? Lovely!
I've never heard of or seen these trees before. They are incredible. Beauty beyond words.
And what is this journey you are on? A vacation or a move? Well wishes to you!
Your pictures are gorgeous! I love me some purple. I hope you are coming close to my big city of Atlanta. You will be missed and we look forward to hearing from you again. Be careful. Luv ya, Trish

Oh, my goodness. I don't think I've ever seen anything so beautiful. Do they have a scent? Awesome.
Kalianne,
I just now had time to catch up on my blog reading -- I didn't know you are moving!! Where are you moving too?
Journey mercy be with you. I will check your blog from time to time for your updates!!!
Take care, and blessings!
Dear Friends,
Thanks for your beautiful well wishes :-o). You'll be happy to know we've moved into our new home and are loving our new location!
Next week we leave for the Lakes & Wilderness region of Victoria for awhile. We'll be travelling back and forth for a few months while Bryan helps friends build a new home in the 'back country').
We should be fully settled here in Albury-Wodonga around Feb/March 2009!
Thanks for staying in touch!
Hugs,
Kalianne xo
Kalianne,
I have an award for you on my blog. Please let me know once you get back online, okay?

What a truly beautiful tree! I wonder if I could grown one here in Canada...likely too cold! Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful site/blog you have here. Thank You for sharing.
Are you ever coming back?! I miss you!!! So it sounds like you moved? Into a new home? new location? How far away? I am guessing you will return to blogging after you get settled. I hope! Well wishes for you.
Dear Friends!
We are still (temporarily)living in a beautiful remote wilderness area. We have no phone at home or internet. No TV. No mod cons. But the beauty and serenity of the area far outweighs any hardships! It's a long drive into town to access Blogger and there are time limits on the public internet!
We should be back in civilization anytime from late March to Early May 2009. I hope to resume posting then!
Miss you all much,
Kelleigh xo
These have got to be the most beautiful trees on earth! Just stunning!
