I had to go into the Brisbane CBD last Monday (November 29th) to get my birth certificate and nearly had to put on my sunglasses, even inside the shopping malls:-)
My walk route from Southbank to the CBD and back
Walking through the Brisbane Arcade brings back childhood memories of visiting the tea room that used the be in here with my grandmother from my mother's side of the family, where you would get your tea cup read at the end of your visit.
Maybe that's why I mainly drink coffee now, so no one can read my tea mail:-)
Once I had my birth certificate I headed for the cafe in the lobby of 180 Brisbane and grabbed a Salmon Bagel and a black coffee and took a window seat above the stairway to heaven and looked out on the city I grew up in as a kid, but hardly recognize now, after infrequent visits into the CBD.
The last time I had a real good walk around the CBD was in November, 2018, when the city seemed to be closed for some reason.
I tried to go to the to of the top of the City Hall clock tower, but after walking around the building and up all the steps I was told the clock tower is shut on Mondays!
I was told I could come back tomorrow and it would be open ... but why would I want to drive in and pay another $17 to park at Southbank and walk across in pouring rain?
And why is it run like a Fish & Chip shop, with Mondays closed?
Kangaroos showing their nuts?-)
I then walked back over the bridge and and visited the art gallery and saw the snowman in the fridge.
