We spent 3 night in Brisbane as our last stop in Australia. The trip has gone too fast!  Fiji here we come.

The first night we partied in the hostel with a bunch of 20 year olds.  They played guitar and sang until 3 am.  Then, it turned to wrestling (we just listened to wrestling from our room).

We toured the XXXX brewery. The brewery had automated robots telling the story of the brewery.  They were really excited about their beer.  The tour ended in the bar with 4 free drinks.  Then the "XXXX Angels" showed up and started handing out more free beer.  We had beer from wooden kegs.  It was a lot of fun. We then went to South Bank to a night market and dinner.  They have fake beaches and pools along the river that are free to the public (really nice in the middle of the city).

We went to a Queensland Reds Rugby Union game Saturday night.  We met some season ticket holders in the bar before the game and they let us sit with them right down in front.  The Reds got beat, but we had a great time.  Sorry, no pictures of the rugby, because our camera is a pain to carry around (especially to bars).  We were woken up by a fire alarm at 5 am.  The whole hostel had to go outside for 30 minutes while the fire department put it out.  Lots of fun.
