Excerpts from Australia Trip - April 2004

A view of Queensland from bus - farming pine trees is a big industry.

We return to Brisbane and discover even more backpackers have arrived - here's a music festival outside City Hall, a couple blocks from our hotel.

Wednesday we set out to explore more of Brisbane. Here's one side view of City Hall building.

We visit the Botanic Gardens, established around 1880.

A Banyan tree in the Gardens.

More foilage in the Gardens.

Next to the Gardens is a Mangrove area.

Border between Gardens and Mangroves

Lily or lotus pond in the Gardens.

Formerly the Parliament House, now part of Queensland University of Technology

We cross the river to visit the museums/art galleries

Ok, yes, the Art Gallery. Inside we saw art.

We return across the river to the CBD of Brisbane. Our hotel is behind the white building on the far left.
