What a glorious morning to go to the
Power House at New farm and sketch with the Brisbane USkers. I chose to
sketch the market stalls.

The
first stage of the New Farm Powerhouse was built in 1927-28 as part of
the growing need for Powerhouses for the Brisbane Trams. The power
station began operations in 1928, was decommissioned in 1971. It was
renovated and re-opened as a modern entertainment hub in 2000.
