In Brisbane Today
Ok. Inspired by the recent commute and countryside pics, I thought I'd add some of my own. All these were taken today (14/6/7).
Bush junk, South of Brisbane (Technically on the Gold Coast) near my office. Grey Kangaroos, these guys watched me eat my morning tea. Brisbane CBD from Mt Gravatt lookout, looking North, into the winter sun, so it's hard to get a decent shot. Mt Coot-tha (last pic) is to the left of shot. The City again, this time from Leopard st, again looking North. It was nowhere near as hazy as this looks. You can normally get really good photos from this spot. City Hall, from Ann St. Construction works everywhere. The Fourex Brewery, (home of the finest beer in the universe*) from Milton Rd. The elegant arrow gives the rough location of the Mt Cooth-tha lookout, from where the final pic was taken, looking East to the City and beyond to Stradbroke Island on the horizon. In this last pic, the brewery would be at the middle left, but it's obscured by greenery, and Mt Gravatt is just out of frame to the right. *Don't argue, just accept it. It's true. |

I nearly didn't put the skippy pics in, a bit too parochial really. But, they were there, I was there...it just happened!

I always thought there was something funny going on in the old Waratah National Park...
[later] I went looking and found more info than I'll ever need to know about Skippy: (at least the "official" version, anyway :p ) http://www.classicaustraliantv.com/Skippy.htm Wow. I didn't realise they started making it in 1968. I thought it was much later. It would have been about 10 years old when I started watching it. |

Great pics Hagar. Are you a travelling salesman or something? Looks like you went all over the southside today.

That's the Brisbane River Griff. It runs right through the middle of our city.

Beautiful! Love the kangaroos. One can never have enough animal pics, right? Brisbane's a pretty city from what I see.

Hagar, your shot from Leopard St. looks a whole lot like the Austin skyline. And I loved the kangaroo picture!

Is the barbed wire fence to keep the roos in or out?
