Brisbane is the capital of Queensland with a population of 2 million folks. Third in size, behind Sydney and Melbourne it is situated on the Brisbane River and surrounded by misty blue hills. Originally used to incarcerate the bad boys in the 1800's, today it is bustling port city. Founded in 1823 on the banks of the ide, meandering Brisbane River, the former penal colony of Brisbane was thought of as just a big country town. Today, the Queensland Capitol is also one of Australia's up and coming cities- glittering high rises mark its polished business center and a string of sandy beaches beckon to endless outdoor attractions. Boo Hoo-I was still quarantined to my room so Bubba did the excursion sans Boca.
SKYWALK
And off they go walking up in the trees at the Mt. Tambourine National Park. This elevated walkway opened in 2004 was right up Bubba's alley. Scenic views, piccabeen palm groves, rain forest with tall trees emerging above the surrounding canopy were a feature on this tour.
Looks like Bubs enjoyed himself in spite of Pleep hanging from tree to tree and eventually being asked to leave. That darn Monkey- he promised he would behave!
Followed by a tour of a local winery. To think Boca missed this one.
