Brisbane

Yesterday I arrived in Brisbane for a 2 night stop. I'm camped on a site 4 kms from the city centre. Yesterday afternoon and today I've had look around and I'm quite impressed with what I've seen. yes its another modern city but there seems to something going on so I can see why people like living here.

Public transport is very cheap. I paid $5.20 (2.25 pounds) for an all day ticket for two zones . The city centre parks are very well designed and attractive and they give guided tours. They seem to be well used by the locals for keeping fit, exercising children and as social and educational meetings. The traffic is greater than other Australian cities I've visited.There are lots of attractive apartments overlooking the river.

I may have been positively influenced by the beautiful weather they're having. But they do have a severe drought problem.
