Had a great time catching up with friends in Brisbane. Some I knew were there, and others I didn’t. I also enjoyed a bit of hiking in a local national park, exploring bits of the town, visiting museums, and snooping around various trendy neighbourhoods. We did most of our transportation in and around town via speedy river ferries, which were pretty cool. The thing to do in Queensland cities, it seems, is to open a free public pool in the busiest tourist part of town. Arlie Beach, Cairns, and Brisbane all had them.
Decided to scrub down my car after 10,000 kilometres of caked-on dirt. It wasn’t easy finding a place where you could do it yourself, but I finally found one. Once I got there, I naturally needed a bit of time to get all the mud off. By the time I was finished, a long line of people waiting in line behind me were beginning to give me disgruntled looks.
