Recently, I started a group for photos of Fortitude Valley, New Farm, Newstead and Teneriffe at flickr, the photo-sharing website.

I want the group to become the first place people look for photos of that part of town, and that means I’ll have to take a lot of photos to get people noticing it.

So last Friday I went down to New Farm Park and the Powerhouse Arts Centre to take some photos.

You can read more about New Farm Park here.

You can click on that link to see Friday’s photos on a map, to see a slideshow of them, to see different sizes and to download them for yourself. You can also clickon each photo to go to its page on flickr. Or you can just keep reading here to see over 60 photos.

You can also click here to see the path I took walking through the park, starting from the New Farm ferry terminal.

The Powerhouse Arts Centre is closed for renovations until June 2007, so I could only get a few shots around the edge. This ‘flood’ sculpture commemorates the January 1974 Brisbane flood.

There are ironic signs like this scattered around the edge of the Powerhouse.

Looking back towards Brunswick St and the ferry terminal (out of shot) with the ‘flood’ sculpture behind me.

The Stores Building is one of the rehearsal spaces at the Powerhouse.

Seagulls under the same tree the crow was under just before. You can just see the ‘flood’ sculpture in the background.

This high-water marker is another reminder of the 1974 flood.

This memorial commemorates the
Sandakan-Ranau Death March in Sabah, North Borneo, during World War II.

These steel scupltures of attractive young women are near the Brunswick St entrance to the park.

The rose garden has over a dozen types of roses on display.

Near the north-west end of the park is a low ridge
suitable for small children to roll down, as long as they don’t roll onto the ring road.

The north-western end of the park is opposite the New Farm Bowls Club.

There you go - over 60 pictures of New Farm Park. I took these pictures because someone on the flickr site had moved out of the area and was feeling homesick - let me know in the comments if there are any Brisbane pictures you’d like to see on Brisbane is Home.
