The hotel in Brisbane, which Grandad and I are staying in, is right beside a large area of parkland, full of tropical trees and birds. We have seen lots of cheeky Eastern Water Dragons, popping out on the path or scuttling into the undergrowth; ibis strutting around as though they are in charge of everything; and a kookaburra laughing in a tree. And everywhere is the fragrance of frangipane, which is now in full bloom.

But last night, as we walked home in the dark, a surprise awaited us. The garden had been transformed into an Enchanted Garden, full of fairy lights woven through all the low plants and coloured lights uplighting the trees and large plants. It was truly beautiful – even enchanting! The pictures below don’t quite do it justice – but you can use your imagination!
