We've been in Brisbane for just over a week now and we still don't have our own boat. Riding the city ferry is the only boating we're doing.The CBD is built on a river, 13 km up from the coast.
The City center's been decorated for Buddha's birthday.
I don't really get the connection between Buddha and Brisbane. But anyway, being a bit confused is all part of being a tourist. Soon after this we went into local pub to get something a little more Australian. Had a rather nice local Queensland lager. Marcelle's came with a fly in it. Can't get more Australian than that!
Brisbane is a very livable place: clean, safe, efficient and sunny. There's an artificial beach complete with sand and bikinis in the middle of the city.
So far we only seen two yachts that have taken our fancy.
Number two on our list is this green Roberts 36.
And number one on our list is "Indian Summer", a 38 foot Aluminum yacht. And so we've made an offer!
And so, while anxiously waiting to hear if our offer has been accepted we took a walk in a local park.
It's a very pretty forest, although I will never get used to seeing gum trees and Rooikranz-like shrubs being treated as special indigenous vegetation.
The vegetation is all very luxuriant here. It's warm and wet year round and everything grows really well. This is bamboo!
