Brisbane, Queensland

On the 28th, we did a lightening visit to Brisbane. The last trip to Brisbane was for Malcolm's graduation (PhD) in 2004.  This time, Roger spoke at lunchtime to the staff of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (the federal prosecutors). It rained cats and dogs, as we drove to the highest part of the lovely city to get a photograph for you. The pictures below were taken between the raindrops. Late in the evening, we flew to Cairns in northern Queensland for our assault on the Great Barrier Reef.



Jacarandas are everywhere in Spring in this part of Queensland
