Brisbane is a lovely city - although we could have been in any major city in the world. The business centre is full of those officey worker type people, except they know how to enjoy themselves, 5pm and they spill out of the offices and into the bars and restaurants and do a lot of loud talking and laughing. Keep fit is high on their lists too, many of them choosing to power walk, jog or cycle home, and in 32 degrees of heat - we enjoyed watching them! Brisbane tends to be a one day stop over for most travellers on their way to somewhere else, but we definitely thought it worthy of a longer stay. The very wide river is a key focal point, and a very efficient and cheap water bus and ferry service make it easy to explore the outskirts of the city. The farmer's market provided Jeff with a selection of tasters from chilli paste to smoked salmon from Tasmania. Excellent restaurants on Harbour Side and I would fully recommend the Moreton Bay Crab lasagne. Our last gourmet meal before becoming gypsies.........
