Summer in Australia - Days 40, 41, and a half: Brisbane

Of all the big cities we were to visit, we expected least from Brisbane. It was just to be the place to get to in time to return our camper van and catch our flight back to Singapore. All the attention is always given to Sydney and Melbourne with Brisbane getting little mention. Brisbane turned out to be much more than final stop. It's a great city, vital and inviting. We quickly got our bearings and, in just two and a half days, it became a home base for us. We knew the historic center well, the riverfront, and had our go to cafe and happening playground for the boys. It was a great place to end our journey through Australia and a comfortable place to slowly make the transition back to life in Singapore. We cleaned up the camper and returned it, spending a night in a nice hotel, not very different from our condo. We ate out a bit more and we got some a taste of the heat back in Singapore. It was time to go home.
