Right, let me tell you something about Brisbane. It is just like any other International City in the respect that you will get ripped off at every corner, but like everything in life, the best things are free. The Botanic Gardens here are very relaxing and just basically fresh. If you fancy a drive round brisbane, just fiddle with street view on Google maps a while, look, i've set the page for ya here... http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=brisbane+&sll=-27.472913,153.024187&sspn=0.696943,2.8125&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Brisbane+QLD&ll=-27.448952,153.026419&spn=0,359.912109&z=14&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=-27.467613,153.02785&panoid=hSQwGQ-oj4ZUf7TQwO_mXQ&cbp=12,248.53,,0,0.43

Wow, that one helluva link, you Google guys outta sort that out, a joke's a joke like.


Now, in the central sort of bit of Brisbane, you gonna see some statues. Guess what?! They are war monuments, shock horror ;)


This jolly nice fellow is a statue of Sir Thomas Brisbane himself. You gonna be in for a surprise if you don't know this already, bit Thomas Brisbane was a jock, that's right a Scot. This mean mofo, sorted a lot of crap out down here and introduced stuff like 1 prisoner per every 100 acres of farmland (and the rest, lol)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Brisbane


Basically, this is a big street.


The Cathedral of St Stephen... Quite a cool place. It was done up again in 1980 because it went to rack and ruin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_of_St._Stephen,_Brisbane
