Brisbane: Good bye Australia*Post written by Vlad* Our last stop in Australia was the Queensland capital of Brisbane and we stayed there only for two nights. After checking into our apartment/luxury hotel (more on this later) in the west end, we ventured down Boundary St. to check out the city, grab some lunch and a post drive beer. This hip area of Brisbane had a nice mix of bars, shops, and of course cafés. Needing a bit of rest and time to plan for our pending trip to NZ, we returned to our apartment. With our host Jayne working and out playing netball, we basically had our own brand new two balcony apartment. Yes two balconies, with the main one providing perhaps the best of view of central Brisbane. We made this our office for the time of planning. The next day we decided to check out Brisbane's CBD (central business district) just a 25 minute walk away. It was quaint and compact downtown with a bustle of activity on Queen St. We strolled through the nearby botanical garden before crossing the footbridge to head back home. While it was a quick stay, it was an enjoyable one to a pretty nice city. Let's hope it stays this way during the G20 Summit in mid November. After one month in Australia, we were lucky enough to meet great people, tour a variety of cities and towns, and experience some of nature's greatest beauties. Thank you Australia, it was an absolute pleasure! Goodbye wallabies, time to visit your kiwi neighbours.

WhyNot Street = awesome. Although we have some pretty silly street names in NYC as well - "Extra Place" and "Booty Street" in Queens, lol
