After a rainy and thundery day at sea we arrived in Brisbane early this morning.
Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and the third most populous city in Australia. The city played a central role in the Allied campaign during World War II as the South West Pacific headquarters for General Douglas MacArthur.
We visited the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and saw the sights of Brisbane on our last visit here (see www.sandieuphill.com/blog).
Today we caught the shuttle bus into the City. There wasn't really much to see but I did manage to buy a few essential toiletries and Terry bought a t shirt obviously! It was very hot and humid so stopped off at the Pig and Whistle for some refreshment.
We sail this evening for Yorkey's Knob in Cairns which I'll take two days.
Good bit of history. Do u need a new suitcase for Terry's tshirts? Xx
