One of Brisbane's must do's is to take a City Cat (catamaran ferry) along the Brisbane River. It gives you a different perspective of the city, helps you cool off a bit and guarantees a touch of sunburn regardless of the weather if you stand out on the deck. We caught the ferry at SouthBank and did the 1.5 hour loop to Apollo Road, passing the city centre, under the Storey Bridge, along New Farm park and some of Brisbane's oldest historic buildings and residences, down towards the port.
Along for the ride were my very good friend Sharon (who I've known since 1991), her husband Corey and their son (and our god son) Dylan.
Unfortunately the overcast sky meant it wasn't the best day for photos showcasing the city's charms but the sky did trick me into suncream complacency and a slight red tinge was the result that evening.
