Brisbane

Fri 2 Feb 2007 25 °C

After a 5 hour bus journey from Byron to Brisbane, Steph and I dumped our bags at the hostel and set off to have a look around the city. We walked through the main shopping area, City Hall, museum, all over. I caught the ferry over to South Bank. I think that was the best part of Brisbane, it's very green and relaxed with parkland and walkways. A promenade stretches the length of South Bank, and even has a small man made beach there. I even saw a large river dragon on the main pathway.

I walked across the bridge back to the city centre, stopped in a bar and got talking to some people that had just finished work. Watched England-SA rugby game and headed back to the hostel. Met Steph in the hostel bar for a few drinks and had an early night ready for our onward journey the next day.

I thought Brisbane was an average city, it's got everything you'd expect from a city but nothing that stands out.
