On to Brisbane, Australia

Right off the bat, I managed to lose my glasses. Bifocals.

I realized this as we were driving from the airport to my host's home.  I'd dropped them in the airport when I put on my sunglasses to walk outside.  I can picture exactly where & when it happened.... but, try as I may, with many calls to the airport and airlines, they were never recovered.

Consequently, a visit to the opthomologist who was very accommodating and made me a quick pair of distance glasses.  Fortunately I brought along my prescription reading glasses.  So, I'll just have to get used to juggling 3 pairs of glasses, for the remainder of my time in Australia!  

My first full day, I spent enjoying Brisbane's riverwalk.   It's a really beautiful city, with a lovely manicured park, with an urban beach at its core....

Of course, I was delighted to find several mosaics along the  pathway.

​These strange looking birds were everywhere.  Apparently they're quite annoying, noisy and dirty.  

Just a couple of the names I heard locals call them,  bin chickens or tip chooks.

If you want to know more, check out this song/video!


At the end of the river walk are the Art and Natural history museums.  Both excellent.  Just a few pics of exhibits, art and nature that made an impression.
