With my husband still sick with a bad case of flu, I decided to still venture out to Brisbane. My cousin, Robyn, dropped me off at Apollo Wharf ferry terminal and I caught a ferry to the city centre. Going along the river you can see some amazing houses and with the sun shining and the blue skies, despite it being winter, it makes Brisbane seem a very desirable place to live. But it would be way too hot for me in the summer.
