We spent 3 very hot and humid days in Brisbane. We explored the South Bank which even has its own beach and pool on the river bank, took a trip up the river on the free ferry, admired the many bridges (including the Story Bridge, which you can climb),
and the few old buildings that remain,
enjoyed the Botanic Gardens and Sunday Market
and just generally chilled out. We popped into the visitor information office and were amazed at the decor – it is in the foyer of the old Regent Theatre (sadly, the rest has been demolished)
We’ve got into the Big Bash league (like our T20 cricket) so have been watching the matches most evenings – not sure if we’ll manage to get to a live match in Perth but we’ll see.
The next leg is a 5 and half hour flight to Perth on the western side of Australia – just shows how huge Australia is!
