Sunday

This morning we set off to see an exhibition of photographs by Henri Cartier Bresson in the Queensland Art Gallery. We passed through nearby Roma Parklands on our way, where things were clearly happening. We had fallen over the annual multi culture festival where they were expecting 50,000 people.

The park is well kept, very colourful and has an open air amphitheatre,










water features









and an ibis or two










Our route to the art gallery took us over the large pedestrian/cyclist Kurilpa Bridge. A very useful thoroughfare but not a pretty sight.










After seeing the photos, while we were eating lunch, we were joined by this friendly chap looking for crumbs - there is about three feet of tail not in the photo. (PS 24/10 We have found out that it is an Eastern Water Dragon, so swims and it is much more handsome than any we can find on the Internet.)










In the evening, we ate in a Japanese restaurant and then took a last walk around the city and through the botanical gardens.

Tomorrow, we will pick up a car and head for a couple of nights at O'Reilly's rainforest retreat.
