Had a really relaxing day around Brisbane.
Still managed to see quite a lot of downtown.. it’s a funny place Brisbane. There’s a beach in the centre of town (man made). There’s lots of funky art work all around the place too.
Walked around kangaroo point where there’s about 200m of a rockface free to climb.. perfect. Except that I didn’t bring a rope + rack. Hmmm, don’t regret it, but wish I’d had a shrink wrapped – de-hydrated fold-away-takes-no-space-and-is-really-light 50m rope. Someday hopefully.
Then on Friday I met up with some friends of my parents – Julie and Duncan Stuart. Many of their clan (and there are lots of them) have passed through Dublin at one point or another… so it was good to see them on home turf.
Had a really yum and interesting lunch with them.. there’s some fruit here.. the bigger one is ‘Custard Apple’ The slice + thing that looks like a cucumber is ‘Wosteria Delicia’ – or something – will get the correct spelling sometime. Both delicious and quite different.
Anyway, good times. Then we set off up towards the Australian Zoo – home of the Crocodile Hunter..
