Brisbane and its second Go-round

After saying goodbye to Airlie Beach, I arrived in Brisbane once again to make an outgoing journey to New Zealand. Two days and two nights hence, Brisbane is a wonderful city. Great daylife, nightlife, scenery, and skyline views. This picture here is over looking the Brisbane River.
This is in the botanical gardens right on the river side and bordering some of the city as well. These trees facinated me and are found sporadically throughout the city and parts of Australia.

With this, I attempt to show you the night skyline a-top Mnt. Coot-tha.

Here is another River view with a sad attempt to mimic the London Eye ... :)

This is in the lagoon at Southbank. This bird wandered around for a bit and enjoyed the lagoon too.

Here is another look of the lagoon, which sits elevated next to the river, city and structure all around.

More city!

Brisbane this second go round was great, I even caught a surprise fire works show viewed next to the building with the hightest elevation in Brisbane!
