Went downtown today to see Queen street mall and the Brisbane City Botanical Gardens.
Walked all over looking at strange trees and flowers. Enjoyed the shade and river.
Later walked back into main part of city - narrowly avoiding a Libyan protest. Strolled through a number of shops. Lots of restaurants outside in the Queen street mall and all over. LOTS of peoplle - quite busy downtown. reminds me of downtown Toronto.

Walked through the Twilight Market at King George Square. Guess what - I didn't buy anything!

Pictures today are a guessing game.
Can you help me identify these trees? Some had labels. Many did not. Lovely walk, lovely afternoon but getting wwram. I am not complaining, as it is not snowing.

huge house plant
Lots of pretty pictures of things you saw but to me they look like HUGE house plants LOL The one that you asked if it was Banyon tree is not a Banyon tree... it is the same as the one we saw near the end of our walk north of Aukland with Terry ...unfortunately I don't remeber the name. A banyon tree is similar in that is continually covers a wider area with the roots and you can walk underneath it
