An express bus to the city (we love the dedicated busways) and a short walk across the Brisbane River to visit the museum and science centre. We enjoyed the exhibits and had lots of fun in the disasters display and the challenges in the science centre. We even met a few locals!

We head into the city to get our bearings. After a coffee at South Bank we wander along Queen Street mall and the arcades heading off it. The Myer Christmas windows were good and we wondered if the Melbourne store had a similar theme????

After a great week staying with Max and Julie we head into Brisbane keen to spend some time checking out the last capital city in Australia we are yet to visit, having circled around it in the past couple of weeks. We get a good ensuite site in a park near Mt Gravatt which will allow us to travel by bus or train into the city each day.

A day out fishing in Max's boat drifting along Pumicestone Passage which separates Bribie Island from the mainland. We caught some nice bream and introduced Sadique to boating and fishing.
