The Botanic Gardens are on the North Bank of the Brisbane River and accessible by many spots along the river as well as streets by the Parliament building.
I walked from the South Bank across the Goodwill Bridge to the North Bank. This takes you to the Gardens.
It is very beautiful and spacious. I loved hearing the birds singing.
I walked in search of an umbrella (yes, still raining but not a downpour.) I jumped into an Uber to Eat Street. It is a place on the map but since the Brisbane River winds its way through the city (that is why it is called the brown snake) it is still pretty far to walk.
It is a bunch of shipping containers making the outside walls.
Inside, shipping containers make the food and other stalls. You can find all kinds of food from different nationalities.
I decided on a soft shell crab burger. I haven’t had one of these in a long time.
As I ate, I listened to various bands on the several stages they have inside. I did order a dessert, walking around several times deciding. I had fried dough balls with honey and cinnamon. They were not great like I expected them to be.
There is a very terminal close to here so I jumped on the city cat ferry to go to the South Bank. Nice ride. Nice to see sights, talk to people, and cheaper way to travel.
