Great Time In Brisbane.

We checked into our hotel on Sunday night ready for a nice couple of days. We booked a superior room with a river view.                    Here's a picture of our river view!
                                                           Not really a great view.

 

 

It's to bad because you only get to do this once and it was a bit of a let down. Well we were in a great area of the city and we were going to make the best of it. The first night we had Greek dinner with Kenneth and Sharron. After that it was off to the casino to loose our money and we had a great time. Second day it was a walk around the area. We walked around the south shore of the river and this is really a great part of the down town area. I'm going to show pictures of our 2 days of walking around.

Picture's from the Ferris wheel

 You can see the man made beach in this picture. It's a great beach area and it's well used.

 

The walk was a little hot so we sat in the shade and we were entertained by this little girl.

 

 

We had a great time and Brisbane is a beautiful city.

 

Our last dive in Byron Bay Mark took a picture of a large Manta Ray. There is a program in place to identify these Manta Rays so Mark sent the picture to Project Manta at the university of Queensland. If this is the first time they have seen this Manta Ray then you get to name it. We found out this Manta Ray is named Chinook but they were glad to hear from Mark because it was the first time Chinook has been reported so far south.

 

 

Also last month we took a drive to Mark and Cherie's new 2 acre property. It's just outside of a town called Alstonville. It's very quiet and there's a great view.

 

 

Our next adventure will be attending the Byron Bay Blues Festival on Easter weekend. This should be fun.
