"Brisbane is the capitol and most populous city of the Australian state of Queensland, as well as the third largest city in Australia, with a greater metropolitan population of just under two million. It is a city set close to the Pacific Ocean, and is situated beside the Brisbane River on plains between Moreton Bay and the Great Dividing Range in south-eastern Queensland."
In the following is a few pictures of Brisbane, just to give you an idea of what it looks like down here, and to show you some of the places we have been during our stay this far. First of all, Brisbane is a really pretty city. It`s very different from any of the larger European cities I`ve visited. Maybe becuase the city and it`s buildings are not as old as the European counterparts I`ve been to, like Paris, Prague and Munich. Personally I think larger European cities tend to be a bit gray. Not so here. The arcitecture seems "lighter" and more colorful, and everything looks very fresh, new and well coordinated in a sense. And the flourishing tropical trees, flowers and wildlife all over the city, make it very different from any other place I`ve seen before. Well, enough of my thoughts, here are the photos! :)

WOW!! Stein bor hvertfall bra!! Det ser jo helt topp ut!!Dere får kose dere videre i varmen og nyte hvert sekund i solen, her er det bikkjekaldt, alle er rammet av en lite hyggelig influensa og lufta er fyllt av svevende snøfnugg som leker med vinden! JIPPIO! så dere får gjøre et forsøk på å sjarmere sola nok til å følge dere nordover ( er det noen som kan klare det må det jo være dere tre =0) ) eller glede dere en frossen hjemkomst. Uansett, morsomt å lese om hvordan dere har det! =)
Well written article.
