Last day in Brisbane

It’s our last day in Brisbane and it’s hard to not just focus on getting on the plane tomorrow.  We decide to go for a walk down to the Race Course which is quite close to our motel.

This is Racecourse Road which under normal circumstances would be very busy.  Lots of nice shops and restaurants.

At the end of the road is the entrance to the Race Course.

Dates back to 1913.

Part of the grandstands.

Out exercising the horses.

Those trees again.  So amazing and they’re everywhere.

We then head back down to the river.

Pretty quiet at Portside.

And we head to Brett’s Wharf.

And catch the next ferry.

It’s turning into a lovely day.  One of the men that works on the ferry is Joe and he does a running commentary as we glide down the river.  

It’s quite a long route but a great way of seeing a large part of Brisbane.

We come back to Portside to admire the lights after dark.

Beautiful.

The next morning we are up early to catch the shuttle from our motel to the airport where our chariot arrives.  Only 300 people.  Thought it would be larger but it’s full to capacity and we’re on our way home.  Goodbye Brisbane!,

And I’m home at last.  Enjoying ? self isolation with my quarantini!  I hope to return to finish the part of this trip that we missed but until then I’m glad to be back home to ride out this Coronavirus 19 storm.
