Finally, part 6 is here (mainly because of pure laziness, not because the pics are missing).
Brisbane is not in Gold Coast, and Gold Coast is not in Brisbane. They are both different cities. But, they are in the same state of course, Queensland.
Today is our last full day here in Queensland before flying back to Melbourne tomorrow.
Yesterday on our way to Australia Zoo, we saw this sign. It took us by surprise that I was not in time to turn on my camera to snap it.
This time, I managed to snap it (you have to use the same highway to Brisbane)! Hey… since when Kelantan is here? Closer to home than we think? hehehe…
We got a very good itinerary from our friend Vik Tor to travel around Brisbane in one day.
Our first stop, Mount Coot-tha, highest point of Brisbane. Here, you can get a very good view of Brisbane.
As you can see from the picture, heavy clouds hovering above! We were soooooo hoping that it will not rain.
But once we drove down Mt Coot-tha, parked our car, walked out, and it rained 
We walked along South Bank to a tourist information centre and got maps.
Then we hopped on the City Cat, which is a ferry. It’s one of the public transport there. You see, there are many rivers cutting through Brisbane. So if you don’t want to walk across the many many bridges there, you can catch the City Cat.
We took the City Cat to University of Queensland (UQ).
This uni is so cool! Firstly, it’s a uni on an island. Secondly, they have their own City Cat stop!
Pic above is not UQ’s stop. But the ferry stops look like that.
Cool eh? UQ is pretty big. Very nice buildings, I like!
They also have their own lake (MMU also got… hehehe…).
Then we took the City Cat back again to the city.
Next stop, QUT, Queensland University of Technology.
VikTor studies here. You must be wondering where VikTor is. Well, he was back in Malaysia.
Anyways…
The rain came down of course. So we were walking around Brisbane with hoodies and an umbrella. We took a City Walk around Brisbane, so we could try and see the whole city in one day. So the next few pictures, is in order of the places that “We’ve Been There, Done That” kinda thing. So let the pictures tell the story:
Parliament House, and opposite is City Botanic Gardens
King George Square. No cars allowed, only people.
Brisbane Arcade
City Hall
Treasury Building aka Casino
Albert St Uniting Church
The Windmill – which was unfornately surrounded with scaffolding for repairs.
Jacob’s Ladder from the top
There’s something to talk about this Jacob’s Ladder. We were expecting to see a really grand staircase of some sort. But we didn’t expect such a colourful “ladder”. Apparrently, this 85-step staircase was a worker’s shortcut from the suburb of Spring Hill to the city

Shrine of Remembrance
Eternal Flame
Brisbane General Post Office (GPO)
Crossing a bridge back to our car. On the left, a rainbow.
On the right, a sunset, and alot of bridges.
I should have taken a picture of my jeans and shoes for you to see how wet it was. And thankfully, we didn’t catch a cold after walking in the rain the whole day.
So there! You’ve finished Brisbane city in less than 10 seconds?
*Yippee!!!* Around Brisbane city in how many minutes??
And apasal tertiba the “Tanah Merah” sign??
