Brizzy in Pictures

Brisbane, Brizzy, Bris-Vegas... whatever you call it, I've been here a while and I've promised loads of people I'd put pictures up. I wanted to attach them to my last post but had some technical difficulties with my camera. Luckily the tech shops here are full of helpful people who know how to find hidden folders on memory cards, so here they are!

Dusk on the Brisbane CBD (central business district), photo taken from the South Bank end of the pedestrian-only bridge. That's the Brisbane wheel glowing white in the South Bank Parklands to the left of the frame.


Me and Katina before my first night out on the town. I met Katina in France, before I even knew I was coming to Brisbane, so it was nice to know I had a friend in town before I even got here. When this was taken I had not been here long so most of the clothes I'm wearing in the picture are hers!


Just another day at the bike shop...


Playing footy, a.k.a Rugby and/or auzzie-rules football, in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens; the walkways in South Bank Parklands; and the Story Bridge lit up at night. I ride my bike over that bridge every morning on my way to work at USM Events and the bike shop - though I usually take a ferry across on the way home.




This next one is for you, Oma!
I couldn't resist. I know my Oma is more into baking but...


Out for lunch after Bonita's arrival, we observed these signs...

...though the ibis didn't seem to!


Bonita with South Bank in the back ground - it became a bit of a favourite haunt for Bonita, Jordan and I with it's parklands, cafes, outdoor pools, and cheap cinemas.




And a few more views of the city.



Tails, one of the two feline inhabitants of my share-house, who go a long way to making it feel like home, though will never replace my favourite fur-ball from back home.


And, of course, my place. If you don't look to hard you won't see the train tracks behind the house. The kitchen picture seems to have been cut off, but you can get a good view of the dinning room, living room, and my not-so-tidy bedroom, and a good start to my day :)






Stay tuned - pictures from tours with Bonita and Jordan coming soon! I wish I also had pictures from the Triathlon World champs to post too, but I was so busy working that there wasn't much time for picture-taking. However, I think I can come up with at least a few for a future post.
