Big,Big city

                                                 Big, Big city!
Today we ventured into down town Brisbane city. To get there we had to take a train from Aunty Peta's house. It was a lot of fun because it was fast and exciting. sometimes we went through tunnels in the dark - I really like the train.
Waiting at the Train station. We have a double stroller for the boys, it is really cool!





At the top of Queen Street in Brisbane
When we got to the city we went to Queens street mall. We saw lots of shops, designer shops for dresses and jewelry were there. Queen street is a pedestrian street, which means no cars drive on it, and you can walk all over it, it is long and full of shops, cafes and restaurants.
We looked at a couple of dresses, we might have to go back and try some on!




 After the mall we got some lunch. We walked across a bridge over the Brisbane River to Southbank. There are some really old and beautiful buildings in the city, and alot of people were walking every were, it was very bustling!
 Aiden was happy at southbankbecause there were ibis' and pigeons to chase, he is a sucker for chasing birds, thankfully Lachy fell asleep somewhere over the brisbane river!
. For lunch Mum had a Greek Dona Kebab, cate had a corn dog, and I shared my corn dog with aiden just like mum and caitie shared their food with Lachy. Southbank is huge, we didn't even see all of it, it's big parklands, trees and grass, with playgrounds and a man made beach and swim area that all overlooks the Brisbane River, teh swimming place was being cleaned up and wasn't open but should be in a week or so, I can't wait to go swimming there! Southbank is also right next to the Queensland Museum, Art gallery, And Performin arts centre where they do ballets, operas and Symphony Orchestra Concerts! we are going back to look at those as well.
We caught the train from Southbank back to Petes house, we are definitely going to have to go back - There is so much to see and do.
