School tour to Brisbane

We started the second last week with an all-day trip to Brisbane, Queensland, which is an hour away in car from Gold Coast. First the school bus drove us to the "Port of Brisbane" where the core export and import with Asia and the rest of the world tales place.



Hereafter we got a guided tour around the Australian Parliament House. Compared to the long history of Denmark, Australia cannot exactly brag about having old and well preserved parliament buildings or constitution. It was all established only 200 years ago when Australia became independent of the British colonisation, which ended in the early-mid 1900s.




These two cultural parts of Brisbane the school had planned for us to see finished at 12, so afterwards we had free time for 5 hours until meeting at the bus at 6pm to return home.

Surprisingly the time went faster than expected when doing shopping in the inner city! and the weather was perfect, however, my intense sunbathing last Sunday in Cairns has resulted in a bit sunburned skin, I must admit...
