Tourist Time!

With the arrival of Bonita and Jordan in Brisbane I made sure to take some time off to do some of the touristy things I'd been wanting to do since I arrived in Brisbane, but just never got around to.

I showed Jordan the Brisbane Botanical Gardens where we both climbed this huge tree he's in. Another day the three of us went to the even more picturesque Roma Stree Parklands to enjoy the scenery and the yummy gourmet food in the cafe.








Later we continued our sight-seeing, stopping at this war memorial before going for a ride on the Brisbane wheel.





And on to the Australia Zoo, where you can get up close and personal with the animals (at least the ones without big teeth anyway).










That wombat is one large marsupial!



And finaly, a few snapshots from our trip to Morton Island...





Sandboarding! Amazing fun, though I recommend you try and keep your mouth closed until you've come to a complete stop.

...and nothing like a good milkshake at the end of the day!
