Brisbane on foot

One morning we decided to walk into Brisbane from the caravan park we'd been staying at. It was about eight km along an excellent walking and biking path that wends its way along river banks and through picturesque suburbs. It was a delightful day and we enjoyed many sights along the way.

Before we even left the caravan park, we spotted these incredibly colourful rainbow lorikeets. It's always exciting to see them, but, usually they fly so fast it's just a glimpse. We were lucky to spot this one feeding in a bush.

There were many well-cared for, charming 'Queenslander' houses to enjoy along the way.

A very large flying fox (bat) colony flanked the riverbanks at one point. I think most Australians consider them vermin, but, we still find them fascinating and rather beautiful. This species was red-headed!

Once we reached Brisbane an unexpected piece of Canadiana showed up.

Once we reached the downtown the street art was fun.
