Bill’s guided tour of Brisbane – The River City

Sat 23rd Dec

Really easy journey into Brisbane from Noosa, with the luxury of a 2 lane motorway, all the way.

As I mentioned we met up with an old colleague of Gavins. He has a beautiful home where he’s lived for around 30 years. It sits on a 2 and1/2 acre plot that he’s subsequently subdivided into 6. Their house plus one each for all of their 5 children. One by one they’re building their own places on the plots, I think that’s a wonderful situation for all the family.

We left his daughters prepping for a big family Christmas. It made me even more sorry we’ve left ours to their own devices this year 😳🤶🏽🎅🏼

Bill, very kindly drove us into the City.

First stop the Southbank where after the Expo in 1988 the City created a fantastic beach, entertainment and Park area right on the edge of the river looking right across at the CBD.

After lunch we toured the Central Business District where, like Singapore, Old buildings sat comfortably amongst the glass and chrome of today’s architecture.

Onwards to a lookout point rising above us at Mount Coot-tha

Thanks again Bill for a great day.

Now we’ve settled into our ‘home’ for the night at Brisbane Holiday Village.

Surfers Paradise, just down the road, is where we head to tomorrow to spend Christmas on the beach🏖🎄☀️
