Janet and John do Brisbane Day 1

So onto steamy Brisbane. Again we seem to have brought the weather with us it has been steamy hot!

 

Janet's sister Amanda and brother in law John have kindly put us up for our time in Brisbane and I got to meet Janets nephew and nieces, Monty, Peggy and Sabinewho have kept us entertained. Or us them!

We started the day with a trip to the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art. GOMA which had so fantastic interactive kid areas

Here is the disc that Monty and I made...

And here is Janet's effort....

After we explore the GOMA, Janet and I had an explore of Central Brisbane, keeping out of the sun... We strolled along the south bank, wandered in the City Botanical Gardens and visited the Commissariat Store. Which is a convict built reminent of the original Moreton Bay Penal Collony that predates Brisbane. 

That evening whilst Janet's was on babysitting duties I found the time to go for a bit of an evening walk  down Mt Coot-tha

Here is the amazing view from the lookout point.

The walk down to Slaughter Falls (which was more a Slaughter dribble) was a lovely way to spend an evening. It included an aboriginal art walk which was worth a look.

After that we still had time for a lovely night out with Amanda including some fantastic food and a few drinkies!
