Before we left Brisbane this morning, we had a little time to walk around the South Parklands. We rode “The Brisbane Wheel,” to see the city. Right in the shadow of the wheel, though, was a Nepalese Pagoda!

We spent a little time looking at its intricately carved surfaces. If I were a writing teacher in Brisbane, I would take my students here for some place based inspiration.

The wheel was pretty fun too.

We are now in Cairns. It is warm and a bit more humid here. It’s a beach resort town and it is also in close proximity to a cloud forest. That will be our destination for tomorrow.
