I took a short trip to Brisbane, Australia for work last week. We went to observe some students using one of the calculators I've been working on. In all the trip was pretty good even though I didn't really have much time to explore. We arrived at 6:30 AM on Sunday and headed to Redcliffe (a very quiet coastal suburb of Brisbane). We had the day Sunday to explore and keep ourselves from falling asleep so we could adjust our internal clocks (Brisbane is 15 hours ahead of Dallas).
Just as we arrived, a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets flew right in front of me. The weather was fantastic! Sunny with mid-70's for the high and low-50's for the low. People kept telling us it was too bad the weather wasn't nice for us. I'm trying to imagine how it could have been any better.
There wasn't much surf due to Moreton Island but the water was absolutely gorgeous.
The local flowers were pretty cool, too.
We also spent a little time in Manly (another quiet coastal town outside of Brisbane.) Manly has one of the largest marinas in Australia.
There are more pictures from the trip on my Flickr site.

Nice photos, Robin. I've never seen such deep blue water! Did you ask to borrow a surfboard?
No surfing on this trip. Though beautiful and inviting the water was in the high 40's.
