Brisbane

I really liked Brisbane. Although at first we got horribly lost as it's a proper big city with highrises and fly-overs and ridiculous one way systems to rival London's. After getting stressed and finding nowhere to park, we took it easy and found somewhere to stay the night instead.

Unfortunately, it was a very pikey caravan site. It was very cheap and the facilities were sparkling clean, but there were a lot of people living there permanently and lots of families, too. Well, we regularly got things thrown at our van overnight, so the next day we decided we weren't going to take the bus into town and leave the car there, God knows how we'd find it upon coming back, and instead found ourselves somewhere else to stay.

Then into the city and wow, it was so busy! Very nice shops though and pretty CBD with lots of interesting sculptures dotted about. Even the flyovers are picturesque as they follow the curves of the river running through the centre of town. Very nice!

We went and watched 300 at the cinema that night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Grabbed some food and drinks as well and just hung out around the South Bank area. It's like the South Bank in London with galleries, museums and such like and it was very pleasant and relaxing.

I think we could spend some more time here, but alas, Byron Bay is calling!
