Day 47 was about seeing Brisbane! We went into the city on the train and wondered around. The river boat is cool and in general, it is a very nice place. Okay… time for some pics…
First up was a stop passed a Navy boat.
Interesting... looks like a mobile lighthouse?
Part of the river running through the town.
The walk way we used to gain access to the water front on the river.
A temple on the river front.
The temple door. What more can I say? 😉
I liked the elephant...
The temple was nice. Getting good exposure was quite difficult!
The temple entrance...
A view of the Brisbane sky scrappers from the river.
I loved the architecture of this building! Unusual...
We jumped on river boat and took in the sights and sounds of Brisbane.
This was the river boat we were on...

I noticed this boat on the river walk... hmm... interesting...
Hmm... how about this boat?
We walked quite a long way... very nice though!
Yip... it's me... No flash was used. I used the fill light feature of Lightroom. Photo by Vania Cole.
Cliff and Vania heading towards a different part of the river front.
We stopped not too far from here for a beer.
Another perspective of the river front and the bridge behind.
Cliff and Vania waiting for me to catch up... 😉 Photographers eh!
The view of where we had just walked...
I think I got carried away taking photographs!
I think the last time I saw a boat like this was on the Discovery Channel... 😉

Me again feeling refreshed after a beer!
Brisbane is full of modern architecture.

Will be good to catch up! yeah!!! I’ve had such a lovely time in Australia! Really has blown me away… very impressed.
I remember getting off one of the river boats a few years ago, going into Brissy. There were a few kids messing around on some small dingys, near the jetty, and one of them was in a small boat that was sinking. It was quite serious, I don’t think he could swim. The boat was nearly completely submerged, and he was really panicking… I had to jump into the water to save him, and get him onto the jetty. He was a big lad, and I could see how terrified he was in his eyes and he was crying. Everybody else just kept on walking by….., but the lad was appreciative anyway….he was lucky that I took him seriously otherwise the consequence could/would have been serious.
I have also been along the banks here and also into that Temple… It’s nice along there…
Great memories Gwyn…
