July 10 – Thursday
Cool morning but absolutely beautiful weather. The Brisbanites consider it is freezing and wander around with scarves, beanies and coats. Today, Brian and Jenny took us on a Cooks tour of Brisbane and surrounds. First it was over the Storey Bridge for a quick look at the city and the river before heading back over the river and up to Mt Coot-tha. The wind was quite cool up there but the view was great – we could see both Stradbroke and Morton Islands. Then it was back into the car and off to Mt Nebo for another look at the view before taking the windy road to Mt Glorious. We had a picnic lunch in a lovely park area, however Jenny and I decided to keep our legs crossed and give the long drop a miss! A walk through the rain forest showed some magnificent tall trees, many strangler figs and lots of crows nest ferns. The creaking of a large tree was a bit of a worry though.
A very enjoyable day.
