lizard enjoyin the sun
these guys didnt seem to mind the dryness.I caught the bus up to the huge Botanical Gardens out of the city in Mt Coot-tha reserve. The gardens seemed a little dry but then Queensland is having drought problems....a number of the fountains in the city have been temporarily deactivated. The planetarium was closed but the fern hous, Japanese garden adn highly comical Bonzai house were entertainment and relaxation enough after all my action in Byron.
Mt Coot-tha provided stunning panoramas of the whole city and valley, looking back towards Byron and on towards the gold coast.
The evening held more intrigue as i used my day pass from the bus on the City Cat boat that runs along the river. I caught it in the south bank parklands and cruised along to the Riverside Centre from which i meandred up to china town before returning to catch the ferry back down the river to the casino...which ironically is located in the old Treasury Building!
