Brisbane

Today is the first day in QLD that we have woken up and the sun isn’t shining. But today is going to be a good day I can just tell. A bang on the door at 7.00am and it’s the SEQ Water guy telling us off for camping here. Big Deal, we have some breakfast and check out Somerset & Wivenhoe Dams. Somerset is 91% and Wivenhoe just about empty. They supply most of Brisbane’s water. Its 120km back to Wynnum and a nice drive. Straight down to Manly beach and a drink at the Wynnum Point Hotel.
We are staying at Nan’s trying to find some courses we can do.
The windscreen man is coming on Thursday to put in a new windscreen and we are off to Brisbane tomorrow to look around the city.
Get this we have a room in a house with a toilet and shower this is pure luxury.
We are off to the city today and catch the train into town. It is great to go to places where they have a proper transport system. It is possible to get one in Adelaide but that would take some forward thinking.
We finally bought a Telstra Next G phone so we will have coverage now not like the old Virgin phone. We picked up another external hard drive so we can do a back up and post it back to Adelaide. Brisbane hasn’t really changed that much in the city but the never ending highway building is in full swing.
The great weather continues with nights getting a little cool down to 10° but 25° each day. I have not fished since we got here but I will try some next week if the weather keeps up like this.
I was off to do some shopping this morning while Tina did some weeding.
