Gold Coast Trip - Part 8 Brisbane day trip

As a side trip, we spent a day at Brisbane, mainly just to get a general impression of it while we are in Queensland. It took about 1.5 hrs drive from Gold Coast to Brisbane, about 100km drive.

Brisbane city map. I took a photo of it to guide us around.

We stopped at Chinatown to have a quick lunch before we head out to the Brisbane river

We then drove to the Brisbane river after lunch. The Brisbane River is the longest river in southeast Queensland, Australia. The stroy bridge in the background was built in 1940, named after John Douglas Story.
