I’m very pleased to announce the launch of Carindale Connect’s sister site. It’s been running for a couple of weeks, but I wanted to introduce it properly with a bit of background.
Bulimba Connect is being run under the leadership of Melanie Robey. Surname sound familiar? Mel is my sister and, like me, also has a background in web development and communications. She has a Bachelor Degree and a Masters in Business from QUT and has worked on various web sites over the years.

I love the way creativity, community and the web go together so well.
A great example of this is Etsy. Founded in 2005, it’s a store spanning 150 countries where people sell their handmade (as well as vintage and supplies) items. Artists and crafters maintain their own stores through a classy, very transparent and smooth set-up.
With all the choices we have now it’s good to have the freedom to find out more about the context of what you’re buying, to avoid the logistics and stress of shopping centres, to have more choice and to buy something original and handmade. Read the rest of this entry »

While there may be some people experiencing water problems, overall Carindale has been extremely lucky and generally not in danger of flooding. Our region is particularly well placed to be of assistance. We’re close to flood affected areas such as Bulimba, Murarrie, Hawthorne, Coorparoo and West End and there’s particular help that’s easier to give right now, logistically, because of geography. And we’re able to help regional Queensland through money donations and many other ways, now and in the future.
This post is for both information updates and ways that we can best help.
