Irene and I went into Brisbane for the day again and I had to get up very very early so we could journey into the city with Irene’s niece Emma in her car, leaving at the unearthly hour of 8.30am. Made it OK
We went to a food and wine fair at the Brisbane Convention Centre, a very smart and quite new venue. A lot of food and wine tasting was available some of which we did partake.
Again we were on the “South Bank” which has all been fairly recently regenerated with lots of cafe’s and restaurants. Very swish. Had a lunch of grilled squid and salad.
After our light lunch we walked over the river to the Botanical Gardens, a very pleasant spot in the middle of the high rise city.
The Aussies seem to like giving everyone instructions !
All these were at the start of the footbridge over the river on just two signboards
And I thought ” Aussie Rules” was a peculiar Australian game !!
An oasis
