I keep coming back to the light of Brisbane. If you are born into it, this palette of gentle pinks and oranges at dawn and dusk, the blast white of midday in summer, the lemon luminescence of mid-morning and mid-afternoon, you keep it with you, and measure all other light by it.

Takes the reader on a personal journey through contemporary Brisbane, unearthing its history sometimes literally and painting a portrait of the contemporary transformation of the city.
