Because of the poor weather yesterday we arrived late. The port is an industrial one and about 40 minutes from the actual city. We arrived to a humid temperature of 26 degrees.
My original departure time was 8.30 but I actually departed at 11.00. I was on a River Cruise and City Sights excursion. We arrived at the riverside for a cruise on a paddle steamer, the Kookaburra Queen. We first cruised upstream and then returned past the dock and back again. We had a cream tea on board, at 13.00!! Brisbane is a high rise city and the weather quite humid. We did arrive on the right day though. Our guide told us that 12 inches of rain is due to fall over the next three days! I never managed to find any wifi, because of the timings. I have a feeling my blogs won't be uploaded until Japan. We'll see.
It was quite warm on board because of air con issues. There are a lot of very small jellyfish in the seas around here and they get into the inlet pipes, causing problems. The filters had to be cleaned 7 times whilst we were at anchor.
