Brisbane - 27/07/06
Thursday was the day for sightseeing in Brisbane. Fred returned to act as our guide. We set off from the hotel and walked to the South Bank. After a cup of coffee we took the one and half-hour boat tour along the river (this was where the human managed to delete all the photos so far taken).
It was a lovely sunny day, around 24C, so very pleasant to be about and about.
After the boat trip, we hopped on to the City Sights tour bus - which allows you to hop on and off at various stops. We got off at City Hall stop as both Fred and the human had some shopping to do.
The shopping done, the humans hopped on to the next tour bus to come along to finish the tour. The tour route went past our hotel, which was near 'The Windmill' the first industrial building in Queensland and built by convicts in 1828.
As Fred had only just started walking following an accident a couple of months ago, the bus driver agreed we could stay on the bus until it came round The Windmill again to save having a long walk back from the centre of town to the hotel.
We returned to the hotel around 4 and the humans had some refreshment and a little rest.
Fred then drove the human round to the Bride's parents where they were having an BBQ and the inaugural use of their new wood oven. It was a good oppotunity to meet some of the fellow wedding guests.
