My Lonely Planet guide book had a suggested walking tour of Brisbane which sounded like it was worth a go, to see some of the older parts of the city. Having spent the morning doing the all important job of uploading photos and updating my blog, I missed out on being able to take in the views from the top of Brisbane's city hall by a few minutes. Two of the older buildings that really stand out are the former Treasury and Land Administration buildings, both now serving different purposes, one as a hotel and the other as a casino.
Having spent my last few weeks visiting some relatively small places, its nice being back in a proper city for a while with all that comes along with that, cafes, bars and good public transport. I had been looking forward to visiting the South bank area, where there is an inland beach, but unfortunately this was closed for refurbishment when I got down there. Having walked across the river I got myself and beer and by the edge of the river and watch the world go by for a while, before getting the Catamaran ferry back across to the other side of the city. Am looking forward to my next destination, Sydney.
