The best part was walking along the Brisbane river. We started at our hotel in the city and then crossed over to the South Bank and strolled for many miles. Plenty of activity with walkers, runners and bikes. Surprised to see a beach at South Bank but was very popular with youngsters.
Once we became tired we jumped on a City Cat that runs along the river and went to the end of the route at the University of Queensland and stayed on the ferry and came back.
