Just have a good look at where they are looking! Hmmm - naughty boys. Actually I thought these antics were not permitted on the Brisbane River within the CBD area?<br />Anyone visiting Brisbane and enjoys excellent cruisine, the "Customs House" - indoor/outdoor restaurant is a must, especially at night. Be warned it is VERY expensive, but worth one visit, also has a history section area of what the area was like way back when it was built. The parkland arbour area looks to be magnificently maintained, that is a big plus.<br />Well done as always, Diane and Bill.<br />Cheers<br />Colin ( The would be "Trappist Monk!!!! - just joking, AnnJ ?)Colinnoreply@blogger.com
