Around Brisbane

 Brisbane is certainly an impressive and lively city.  Our only complaint would be the lack of sensitivity to their local history shown in the rampant development.

We visited the Commissariat Store, one of the original buildings built in 1829 to support the original Penal Colony and since developed as government offices etc.

New boardwalks have been built along the river to replace those washed away in the floods.  From them you can see plenty of very expensive housing that is still vulnerable to future floods.
