Brisbane

After Adelaide we had a week or so in Brisbane to catch up with my husband's parents and extended family - unfortunately his mum was in hospital after falling and cracking her head - came home after a couple of days but not much fun for her! But we were pleased to be there and able to help a bit with the cooking and keep his dad company. 

My husband had a birthday so we had pizza and  his sister made him a cake (delicious, we ate it for days). His dad is also a crazy bird man - I was the first one to open the blinds one morning to be greeted by this line up of hungry birds. They are slightly different to ours but still parrots and still demanding to be fed. Bird Man, Son of Bird Man is now his official title. 

We went into town and poked around a bit - the middle of Brisbane is lovely on a good day, especially in winter. Summer can be very hot but a clear twenty degree day in August is amazing. I went to art galleries and shops - my husband went with his dad on a tour of some historic barracks - great day out on both counts.

We hung out with his parents, caught up with extended family (including the great niece that I hadn't met before and who is very cute!) and generally had a lovely chill time. We also did a three-day trip up to K'Gari but I think that will need to be its own post because it was amazing and I took a LOT of photos....
