Brissie, cont.

FYI. Brissie=Brisbane.

So after all the fabulousness of koalas I explored downtown-ish Brisbane. Which really was no competition for koalas, but still cool. Brisbane is divided by a river. I'm sure it makes it convenient for gangs, because the north-side and south-side are oh so helpfully already divided. So of course there are heaps of bridges, like literally the most bridges I have seen over water in my life. And super gorgeous walks along the river too.

Downtown and a bridge(they all had names, but I only remember one....and it's not this one.)

But this one was pretttty cool.

The most helpful landmark ever when trying to navigate through Brisbane....the ferris wheel is on South Bank , in all seriousness this is probably the only reason I made it home, otherwise I'd still be wandering through Brisbane.

What is the cool old building you ask?? Well they call it the treasury , so that you continue to think it is really cool....
but really it's only a casino.

So apparently I realllllllly liked this bridge. 

Another bridge.

And another!!!! They are really proud of this one, they consider it the equivalent to the harbor bridge (it's not).
But this is the one I remember the name of, the story bridge.

best.sign.as.you.are.entering.a.bridge.ever.

Yes, I did walk across it and around the river for ages and give myself some gnarly blisters....

City, they also have a really pretty botanic garden if you keep going to the right....apparently I thought buildings were cooler than plants on this day though.....

What do you do when your city doesn't have a real beach? You make a fake one. I love Australia.

Sweet trapeze man outside the art museum.

Makes a pretty sweet walk along the river.

Leftover from the world fair a long time ago. But still way cool and random.

What a cutie!!!

woohoo!!!! you just took a walk around Brisbane  via pictures without ever leaving your computer chair, and you didn't have to get the blisters either....I'm beginning to think one of us is brilliant, and it's not me.
Kidding, it's soooooo not the same. So get out of your chair and come see for yourself;)
