On Boxing Day we went out for lunch with friends from the village, Karen, Eddy and their son, Danny. Karen grew up in Germany so we took them to a German restaurant in Brisbane called
'Munich Brauhaus'. Sorry if the title of my post misled you. It would be nice to go to Munich for lunch but when we live on the other side of the world the 'Munich Brauhaus' will have to do.
The restaurant is in South Bank Parklands in the heart of Brisbane. We arrived early in case the parking was difficult but most people must have been in the stores for the Boxing Day sales because the carpark was half empty. Since we were early we took a stroll around the parklands.

| There is a water park for children |
 |
| The dishes fill with water and empty on the children |
 |
There is a man made beach for families with our State Government Building
towering in the background. |
 |
| Then we found the street with our restaurant. |
 |
| The Munich Brauhaus. We had a beautiful spot outside. The weather was not too hot. |
 |
| When in Munich! |

After German sausages and pork knuckle, we made our way back to our cars.
(L to R) Danny, Bill, Karen, Eddy.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations that you could eat Bavarian food in Summer heat ! I couldn't eat that only in winter when it is very cold ! The restaurant looks very nice !
ReplyDeleteAlways so strange to see the sunny pictures of your Christmas time. Enjoy the warmth!
ReplyDeleteBrisbane looks a wonderful city to explore. No one in the water at the children’s park? I guess they are all home playing with their Christmas toys.
ReplyDeleteLove the flower pots. I am so happy to see all the beautiful parks and water and beaches and sunshine. all of that is what I love most. I wish I could wade in that beach water and the rocks in the water are beautiful too..the trees and the street scene is my favorite, I want to walk down that street
ReplyDeletePost Christmas with folks at the beach looked wonderful, but my mental images of the Christmas holidays is for snow Nd sledding and snowmen. Glad you wwee able to meet up with your friends and I liked the post title.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you found the perfect way to celebrate Boxing Day.
ReplyDeleteHow good is that beach on the river. I think Queensland Tourism should pay you for this post.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful place to enjoy and such pretty surroundings. We have two German restaurants that we know of and probably more that we don't. One is in DC and we dined there with friends of ours, and one on our own towards the Shenandoahs. Both restaurants are owned by German immigrants. Both were very pleasant experiences.
ReplyDeleteLovely area and lovely weather!!
ReplyDeleteWell that was a very pleasant way to spend a day. Brisbane (I've never been outside the airport!) looks like a beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteWish we had a German restaurant nearby, not likely to happen here in the country in France though! It looks a lovely area and a good restaurant. All the very best for 2020. T'other Diane
ReplyDeleteHello, Looks like a wonderful place, looks nice and warm. Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in 2020!
ReplyDeleteYou chose the right day to visit as it doesn't look that busy. Looks the ideal place for families.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place and I agree, love the flower pots!
ReplyDeleteGlad the weather was nice. Loved seeing all the surrounds and, yes, those flower pots are delightful.
