| Upriver Brisbane Central District |
We took a high-powered catamaran ferry uptown to Brisbane's central business district. What a fun ride!

 |
| Walking along the well used river promenade |

| The river front walk-way |
We meet up with Mark from S/V Compass Rosey in downtown Brisbane. He has completed his delivery of Compass Rosey (from the Marquesas!) and is waiting for the owner to take possession of the boat. He's moored at the public moorings off the Botanical Gardens five miles upriver. While it's nice to be downtown within walking distance of beer, food and sights, I would hate this anchorage because of the daily surge and river current that sends a boat squirreling around at anchor!
I'm happy to be on land and exploring new places! Tomorrow we move the boat up the coast to Moreton Bay Boat Club out of Scarborough where we will live aboard for a few months while land traveling to Syndey. Let you know more later...
Congratulations! Great to see your new location in Australia. Now we can know where to find you on the world map! Have a fun time being tourists.
