Around Brisbane and the south-east

Last week we drove to the Gold Coast to collect my brother-in-law, who has macular degeneration & can't get out on his own anymore, so he could stay with us for a couple of days.  On the way down, we followed this boat - it was huge - had a wide load vehicle with it & they both managed to take up both lanes most of the time.  It's under the white over.

We had dinner at Portside (Fresh & Wild Seafood) on Sunday night before our son left for England and the cold.  It poured all day Sunday & it was rather chilly down on the river.  That did not stop us having our Moeven Pick ice-cream before wandering up on the viewing deck to look at the cruise ship that was visiting 'sunny' Brisbane.

This stick insect visited us today.  Haven't seen such a huge one in a long time.
