On my 1-month anniversary of starting my road trip from Adelaide, I was scheduled to drop in on some expat friends in Perth who have moved to Brisbane in the past few years and spend the weekend catching up with them and seeing the city for the first time.
On the way down, I dropped by a few beach spots, including Bridie Island, where I had my first nice swim in real surf without any crocs or jellyfish to worry about.

The drive into Brisbane was quite amazing, with its labyrinth of roads and endless roller-coaster hills. There is no way I would have been able to figure out my way around if it weren’t for my GPS! Brisbane roads seemed to be a combination of San Francisco and Boston rolled into one. Even my friends there seemed to get a bit confused from time to time when trying to find their way around.
