Travel // Going Around // Australasia // Seeing More of Brisbane
My third visit to downtown Brisbane allowed me to see more of Brisbane though I did not manage to visit the world’s first and largest koala sanctuary, Lone Pine Sanctuary as well as the City Botanic Gardens. In my own standard, being able to walk around the city street especially at Queen Street where several shops and malls exist and of course being able to play (and loss some money) at Conrad’s Treasury Casino, I can still say to myself that I have explored pretty much of Brisbane’s landmark. Of course, as I mentioned on my previous post about my first glance of GPS “in action” on taxis was really an eye opener considering my very naïve mind about this gadget. It gave me insights about how this system works on land not to mention its extreme usefulness on ships.
I went to downtown Brisbane again for the third time last Sunday. I was with another colleague. We were supposed to attend Sunday church service but it seems the churches were closed. There should be a mass going on somewhere else but we just don’t know where. Though we passed several churches on the way to the downtown but it was so quiet outside and we did not see anybody going in or coming out. The doors were close so obviously no one was inside. Previously I took a photo of The Cathedral of St. Stephen from the inside of the taxi during its stop. This time I purposely went back to the cathedral just to take more photos of this beautifully designed church. Unfortunately, the cathedral was also closed so what I managed to get were exterior photos of the church. Here are some photos of The Cathedral of St. Stephen.
