I was really looking forward to today, I was going to spend the whole day with Michelle. Our first stop was the Queensland Museum and then close by was the Art Gallery (above).

Michelle in the distance...what a sensational art gallery, we saw some excellent exhibitions and just the building itself is very attractive.

Of course we stopped in the Gallery coffee shop and what should we see next to our outdoor table but this familiar looking frilled neck lizard. I hadn't seen one in years.

From the Art Gallery we walked over the river into the city.

So many new buildings ...

...and some old...

...we did a little shopping...

and sightseeing, the Town Hall being one of the few city buildings that I can remember.

This was one of the displays in the Brisbane Museum in the Town Hall...who'd have thought fruit boxes could looks so pretty!
