Brisbane Photos

Brisbane has a lovely waterside - especially nice on hot sunny days. Catherine and Ben (see below) showed us all around over the weekend, focusing on the botanical gardens, parks, pools and (of course) the boutique markets!
Here Gary, Ben and I are positioned in front of an old steamer which apparently does lovely cruise dinners... but a bit too expensive for mortals. And below you can see Catherine and me in the mountains above Brisbane - in a nice little town with pretty shops, views, and a fantastic winery (to keep Gary and Ben happy)!
We found kangaroos! OK, at night, in a secure mental facility. Hopping around like nobodies business. Which makes photographing them in low light very tricky... Gary did well to hold the camera still enough for this photo.
