This is not my first time in Brisbane but it is my first time over a number of days allowing us to explore and immerse ourselves in the northernmost state capitol of Australia. Hot and humid in December it is nonetheless a pleasant little city.
One of the days had us renting a car and driving back down to Movie World on the Gold Coast.
Another day had us on a boat to Moreton Island, snorkelling the Tangalooma wrecks. Three decades ago the then state government scuttled a number of ships off Moreton Island to protect it from tides washing over the island. It is now evolving into a reef for marine life. The snorkelling is marred by milkiness of the water but is interesting nonetheless. Moreton Island is fringed by beautiful beaches great to swim and walk on and quirkily they are also roads for 4 WD vehicles complete with speed signs.
