Brisbane, Australia

Another country! We are staying with friends Naomi and Tim while we are in the Brisbane area (you will remember them from our time in Bariloche, Argentina) They have a great apartment overlooking the river and the city.
Brisbane is a really nice modern city situated near the southern coast of the state of Queensland. It has many skyscrapers and high rise buildings but is also very green with lots of parks. People here are fitness mad with running and cycle tracks everywhere. The weather is much, much hotter than New Zealand and the humidity is high as well, so we are trying to have early starts to the day and beat the heat!


Naomi cooks our first Australian BBQ


The artificial beach on the South Bank of Brisbane - absolutely packed with people at the weekends


The view from our bedroom window - what a view!
