Mysterious âfairy doorsâ popping up all over city has residents baffled
May 4, 2023
A series of tiny doors scattered through the alleyways of an Australian city has left people scratching their heads.
Tourists and locals have been sharing videos after stumbling across an array of âfairy doorsâ in Brisbane â prompting many to ask: âWhy are they here?â
The first âmysteriousâ mini doorway, which measures just a few inches in height, appeared in Burnett Lane in the cityâs CBD back in 2017.
Since then, more have been steadily popping up, with an array of âweird and wonderfulâ tiny doors now dotted around for people to find and enjoy.
The miniature attractions are the brainchild of artist Mace Robertson, who recently admitted there are so many doors, he cannot remember how many he has installed.
Robertson said heâd been inspired to create the series after spotting the global âfairy doorsâ phenomenon, a so-called âmagical portal betweenâ our world and the fairy realm usually found at the base of a tree trunk overseas.
âI saw them pop up in other cities around the world and I thought Brisbane needs more art and why not do that,â he told the Brisbane Times in March.
His first creation was a red door, complete with a window archway and even the number â45aâ, but there have been an array of different designs in the years since â and finding them all has become a popular sport.
Social media is awash with videos from visitors and locals alike as they stumble across the doors before attempting to find more.
Food blogger Adrian Widjy recently shared his experience with Brisbaneâs mini doors, declaring it the âbest thingâ heâd discovered about the Queensland city.
âHave you heard or seen these #TinyDoors or #FairyDoors around Brisbane?â he asked his 262,000 followers.
âIt is such a fun activity hunting them down given that there are plenty around Brisbane City,â he said. âThey have amazing details!â
His video shows three different designs he located in Fortitude Valley, including a fire station with doors.
Some even open to reveal a QR code, which plays a behind-the-scenes film with the artist who created them.

Carrie Fisher to finally receive her Hollywood Walk of Fame star on 'Star Wars' Day
May 4, 2023
As officially announced last week, actress Carrie Fisher, known around the world as "Star Wars'" Princess Leia Organa and later as Gen. Leia Organa, will be honored posthumously by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on "Star Wars" Day, which occurs every year on May 4.
Carrie Fisher's star will shine as the 2,754th on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the Motion Pictures category, and will be unveiled beside the grand El Capitan Theatre at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard. This special dedication for the late icon, who passed away on Dec. 27, 2016, will take place on Thursday (May 4), starting at 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT) and can be streamed live exclusively at walkoffame.com
"Star Wars" royalty Mark Hamill immediately responded to the good news on Twitter with a simple but heartfelt message: "Long overdue & so well-deserved."
Fisher's ceremony will be attended by her daughter, Billie Lourd, who will accept the much-delayed star on her mom's behalf. iHeartMedia personality and Walk of Famer Ellen K will serve as the event's emcee.
"Fans will be over the moon to know that their favorite movie princess, Carrie Fisher, will be honored with her star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame!," Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in a press release.
"Carrie will join her 'Star Wars' co-stars and fellow Walk of Famers Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford on this historic sidewalk," Martinez said. "I am happy to add that her star is just a few feet away from the star of Mark Hamill and across the street from the star of her legendary mother Debbie Reynolds!"
The process by which celebrities apply for and are chosen for a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a complicated one. If your memory insists that Fisher already had a star on the famous sidewalk, youâd be partially correct, as the Hollywood Walk Board approved her inclusion back in June of 2021 as part of the 38-person Class of 2022.
The rule book surrounding applications for a spot on the legendary Hollywood walkway states that her family had to wait a number of years after Fisher's death before being eligible to apply for the star in her name.
Other honorees in Fisher's class included such showbiz industry names as Francis Ford Coppola, Macaulay Culkin, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, James Hong, Helen Hunt, Regina King, Ray Liotta, Ewan McGregor, Adam McKay and Jason Momoa.
