Girls Love Dirt

Guess what??? I'm in Oz (sometimes knows as Australia). I flew out of Auckland on June 14th and after a few hours of non-stop cloud cover I was thrilled to peak out my window to catch my first glace of Australia.

The first city I chose to visit in Oz was Brisbane, Queensland (the Sunshine State... and yes I did come for the sunshine). I arrived just in time for another one of the Southern Hemisphere's spectacular buttery yellow sunset.

Tired as I was, for some reason I always think it's a good idea to sleep as little as possible before getting on a plane, I did manage to work up the energy to take some night photos. This is the Brisbane River. It snakes its way through the heart of the city and is one of the best spots in Brisbane to take a stroll. Victoria Bridge (below) seemed particularly photogenic to me.

Yesterday was my first day to explore the city and the Botanical Gardens presented itself as an excellent place to start.

I do have heaps more photos to share with you, but it is getting late, and I do have another flight to catch tomorrow. Which isn't really a problem, its the early check out and the bits I still want to see before I leave town.

Goodnight mates.
