Brisbane
Capital of Queensland, 3rd most populous city in Australia & my first international destination.
Here are a few pics that I wanted to share & while I was composing this post it brought back all the good memories :). Brisbane, to date, is my favorite city, not that I have visited a lot of them. I was traveling alone for the first time so I was both excited & nervous. It's green & the weather is perfect with so many fun places to go to. I, though regret not taking pics of my favorite bridge at night - Story Bridge. You can check its pics here.
I used my Nokia Supernova to take most of the pics while I was traveling. The rest are by a digital cam. Some pics are blurry but they are precious as they remind me of beautiful memories. :)

It's so nice being able to see someone elses take on Brisbane who hasn't been here before, since because I live here I suppose I view it in a different way. Thanks for sharing x
