On the 3rd day, we took a tour "Jalan jalan" around Brisbane. It was a beautiful day and we started from the Brisbane river walkway near our accommodation.
This part of the river walk was rebuilt after the devastation caused by the Brisbane River flood early this year.
We passed through the remains of the famous riverside restaurant, the "Oxelys on the river". It was destroyed by the flood and the owner has yet to restore it for business.
Brisbane City Council operates a fleet of ferries along the Brisbane river - the "City Cats" criss cross the river ever so often.
A "City Cat" docked at the Regatta(Toowong)Terminal to drop and pick-up passengers.
From the river, we moved to the Queen Street Mall, a premier shopping destination of Queensland where major department stores, shopping centres and designer boutiques are.
Conveniently located in the mall is the Brisbane Visitor Information Centre. This centre offers a one stop shop for travel information including maps, brochures, and itineraries for all visitors to Queensland.
It's also a good place to enjoy open air cafes in the mall.
A street magician was showing off his skill in a cards trick.
One of the historical building in Brisbane - an old mission church just next to the Queen Street Mall.
There is nothing like having a cup of flat white coffee and a delicious steak pie to end the tour.
