Australia - 3rd October 2005 - Long Weekend in the Gold Coast

Brisbane

Monday, a public holiday in ACT but alas, not in Queensland. So while Jeff and Cath were at work, Martin caught a train up to Brisbane about an hour to the north and explored the city on foot and ferry.

• The Botanical Gardens:
  

• The river Brisbane dominates the city. The iron Story Bridge in the background:
  

• Smellie and Co. Tee hee hee!:
  

• Kangaroos! :
  

• The Story Bridge, Martin.... and a bit of Martin's rucksack, which the camera was perched upon:
  

• And again... but without the rucksack:
  

• From the ferry....:
  

• And again:
  

• Walkway through the South Bank park:
  

• Martin and Jeff:
