Brisbane Library

I have discovered and joined Brisbane Library. As they have free wifi and a pretty amazing view out over the river I am very content sitting here watching the world go by, reading a few books, learning some more about Australia and updating the blog.

This is my view today.

Not the best of photographs but you can see my point! 

As I mentioned the library has free wifi and also has computers that you use the internet from, much better than spending a fortune in internet cafes!  

As a member you can also take out books and dvds, which is sweet. 

I am interested in learning more about the history of the indigenous and their cultures and had actually looked around a few second hand bookstores. One second hand bookstore on Ann St in the city had lots of signed first editions. Unfortunately I think Im already over my luggage allowance, so didnt buy anything. I shall borrow them from the library instead!  

I found an interesting postcard today. Again its not the best photo but you get the idea of just how enormous Australia is in comparison to the size of Europe and particularly the UK. 

So far we have travelled from Cairns to Brisbane which is 1748 km which is about 1086 miles and thats just over half way along the East coast...
