In the last post we walked along the Brisbane River in New Farm. On Thursday we walked along the same river but in the city at South Bank Parklands. We had to go to the city for a seminar promoted by our superannuation company. The speaker, Michael Pascoe, was interesting and entertaining. He basically was telling us how lucky we are as Australia's economy hasn't been hit as hard as other western countries and I guess we were supposed to feel happy even though we've lost thousands from our superannuation but then everyone is in the same boat and we just have to manage as best we can.
and down river.
At the back of the park is Little Stanley St. which is an eatery street under the shady trees, which is nice in summer but not today as it is very cold. (Brisbane cold 17C). The interior of the long apartment building was designed with the help of Carol when she worked for Mirvac.
You take such lovely photos of one of my favourite parts of Brisbane. They are almost enough to make me move there (17º in winter would be blissful), but it's those oh-so-hot-and-muggy days in summer that deter me....lol.
ReplyDeleteIs there ever a time when the Bouganvillea on the archway isn't in flower?
I love how your 'winter' temperature is not far off our 'summer' temps! I think it was about 18 here the other day I still wore sandals to work! tee hee.
ReplyDeleteI do love Brisbane in winter though. so sunny and bright. Miss you all.
