Our first no-drive day. We caught a bus near the caravan park,
and then another at the Hyperdome – an enormous shopping centre. The second bus
took us right into Brisbane. There was little I recognised from my last trip in
the late eighties. We got some ideas from the Information booth in the centre
of town, and went on a walking tour which included the Southbank area. The
weather was pleasant, the threatened showers did not come and we really enjoyed
ourselves. We had lunch at the museum and treated ourselves to a ride on the
Wheel of Brisbane. Then home by express bus, did some shopping.
Oh yes, and I even got to complete another lecture of my Ancient Civilisations course! Here are some pictures of the day.
