Brisbane! Before we went to Brisbane we stayed with John and Carroll in Tweed Heads for a few days. It was great to see them and Terry and Alison again, and also to meet Dean and Christian (friends of Terry and Alison) who were over for a holiday from Port Talbot. We spent the first couple of days walking around the city and found out that there isn't much to do in Brisbane as we had previously expected. Despite this, it's a very pretty city with the Bris...

A café had supplied deck chairs and an umbrella, so we just sat back, rela...
