G'day everyone:
I landed in Brisbane, capital city of the state of Queensland, this afternoon after a few days spent in Surfers Paradise. So far, I am pleasantly surprised with how much I like the city. I was slightly worried that I wouldn't enjoy things much here, given Brisbane's nickname, BrisVegas, earned through the city's fondness for highrises and a dash of glitz (including a man-made beach in the city centre). But there is much more to Brisbane than all of that, including some gorgeous colonial buildings, a lovely river that snakes its way through the city and some excellent parks. I'll write more about Brisie, another of its nicknames, once I have seen the city a bit more.
But first, I have plans to tell you about Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise. That entry (and, God willing, pictures if I can find an Internet cafe that will let me upload them) are to make their appearance in the blogosphere tomorrow. Ciao!
