The Moving Canvas Gallery is located upon the Stafford Road in Brisbane, Australia. Its founders were inspired by the idea that art isn’t about still wall-mounted canvases, but rather moving experiences. The gallery has a fortunate location within a beautifully refurbished antique church. Several of its exhibits are site-specific while the space itself is often rented out. The company also redecorates corporate offices and makes them more aesthetic. Some of the featured artists are Banx, Ronzo and Gillian Smith.

Get to chance to interact with a number of wild animals and catch a glimpse of diverse flora at the Ipswich Nature Center. The visitors are allowed to watch and play with animals like wombats, emus and quolls. Besides these animals, the Ipswich Nature Center also houses a barn that is home to calves, pigs and other farm animals. The animals are housed in landscaped gardens with native Australian plantations spread all over the property, allowing visitors the chance to forget they are still in the middle of a bustling city. If you want to catch sight of the wildlife yourself or spend quality time with the children, then Ipswich Nature Center is the place to be.
