One of my favourite places to be is the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane's Southbank, but I never go often enough.

Although Sunday's display didn't quite meet his standards, it was still really interesting and kooky (I love a bit of kookiness) and a reminder to get in there more frequently. My friend Jessica accompanied me and we had a fabulous day.
Current GOMA exhibitions include Contemporary Australia: Women & Social Networking (both free admission) plus other fascinating displays. Read more about what's on here.
