day 3- brisbane

went to brisbane for a day by train. it took about an hour from nerang rail station to reach brisbane central. one train was cancelled so we had to wait for another half hour. hence, we only reached brisbane at noon with hungry stomachs.

walked to queen street...i think this is where all the shops and the happenings are. food was cheaper here and we had our lunch at the food court.

no one agreed to go with me on the hop on hop off bus for sightseeing in the city. it cost A$25 and they said it was not worth it for half day. sigh. this bus would go all the way up mount coo-tha...i heard it was beautiful there. guess i would never find out.

so in the end we just walked all the way on the southbank and all the way to fortitude valley...their chinatown. it was the most pathetic chinatown i have ever seen. just so dull and small.


brisbane square..ala melbourne's federation square but a smaller version
queen street
southbank
the city

chinatown? ooopppsss...got too depressed seeing the state of chinatown, forgot to take photo. and we walked such a lloooooonnnnggggg way just for that.

i think we are such a failure at exploring brisbane. i am sure there are much more to see here...now...now...dun tell me what i should have done and what i should not have. it is already over and done with.

Mount Coot-tha isn't too bad. Especially when the lookout is only a 500m climb up lol
