#cuckooclocks are almost forgotten so we decided to bring the magic back. Our #elementary kids made beautiful clocks inspired by the ancient ones. #artoftheday #artcollage #craft #artclassesforkids #ancientart #time (at Marine Drive, Mumbai) https://www.instagram.com/p/CODFUrZpOEk/?igshid=v66z6eep6vhm

12/08 - Hinterland Road Trip (pt. 1: Tambourine Mountain) I decided to rent a car for the next 2 weeks so I could enjoy some inland stops on my route from Brisbane to Sydney. :) Nice to be behind the wheel again, even if it's on the wrong side. First leg of the trip took me out of Brisbane and into the mountains... Tambourine Mountain, to be specific! This town has a number of cute local shops, but my favourite had to be the german cuckoo clock place. It was just... FULL of cuckoo clocks! Most of them running and set to different times so there was usually one cooing. I couldnt imagine working there, I think I'd go crazy! I also stopped in at a cute fudge shop and the Spice of Life Café for some delicious curry. #tambourinemountain #spiceoflife #cuckooclocks (at Tamborine Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJInOQHTEe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ug5i7e5auwyd

Demonstrating the bellows that create the cuckoo noise.

This was inside the Weltgrößte Kuckucksuhr, or the World’s Largest Cuckoo Clock, which we happened upon while making our way from Triberg to Schonach. There was something funny about the sign, and I wish I’d taken a photo. I think it was translated into the “World’s First Largest Cuckoo Clock,” which gave us a laugh. Not really sure if it’s been surpassed by now!

The clock was built by this man’s father. The outside was charming, with a man chopping wood (on the right) and an owl who was keeping watch with a swiveling head (on the left). On the far left is a small waterwheel--unclear if it served a purpose other than decorative.
