Good
morning/afternoon/evening/night,
After
Sydney and Melbourne this is the third-biggest city of Australia: Brisbane! I
have heard contrary things about this town, so we explored it the way we always
do: We got some information from the Lonely Planet and from the reception of
our backpacker hostel (Somewheretostay Backpackers, what a name, huh?) and then
we just headed for downtown on Wednesday morning. We parked the car at a
multistorey carpark at South Bank and strolled along the South Bank Park which
is really nice with the picnic areas and the artificial beach.
We crossed
the river over the Victoria Bridge and got on the Cityhopper, a FREE ferry
service of Brisbane City Council and where you have a great view onto the
skyline of Brisbane.
We got off
at Eagle St Pier and visited downtown, especially the shopping street, Queen
Street where Markus bought himself a kangaroo leather hat:
We got
lunch at the market and walked into the Botanical Garden which is very
beautiful as well and another FREE service of the city council is the Wifi in
the garden.
After 5.5 hours of walking around we were very tired, therefore we got back into the car and drove further North, another 300 km to our next stop: Hervey Bay!
