After two weeks with my sister in Long Flat it was time for myself and Caroline to move on and hit the east coast. We were going to be traveling with Paul and Gerard for the next month in a Toyota people carrier that had been modified into a camper van type vehicle. These vehicles were known as spaceships. Why? I do not know 

Myself and Caroline took the train from Wauchope to Brisbane, where we would be collecting the spaceship. We decided to haver a couple of days in Brisbane on our own before we met up with Paul and Gerard, who were flying into a town called Ballina, which is 200 Km south of Brisbane.

Although we only had two days in Brisbane we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and I think we would both agree that it was our favorite Australian city so far brisbanes skyline

 . It is Australia's fastest growing city, it is modern and clean and it just has a nice feel to it.

The Brisbane river runs through the city and there is a beautiful area called "South bank" on the (you guessed it) south bank of the river in the city centre. There happened to be a market on the weekend we were there and it was heaven just to stroll through the market and then chill out on the grass in the glorious sunshine.

We were definitely thinking that our two days in Brisbane were a very good start to the east coast of OZ
