Brisbane tends to show off a little in autumn. The weather is an ideal temperature, the air is fresh and cool with a hint of a breeze, the sky is crystal clear and one isn't scared to go outside for longer than five minutes in fear of frying.
Over the weekend, Teach and I wanted to embrace the gorgeous weather we were having after being stuck inside for several weeks
suffering through awful coughs, colds, head aches, belly aches and the rest (I'll save you on the gory details!). E needed to explore new territory too - let's face it there are only so many times you can play trucks in the one spot before you start going a little trucky yourself!
We headed down to Roma Street Parklands located on Roma Street, funnily enough. It's a fantastic, well-maintained retreat in the middle of the city where you can relax, enjoy a coffee, have a BBQ, wander through the rainforest and pretty flowers or cast a line in the lake for a spot of Catch & Release Fishing.
I'm not sure why we haven't been down there before, but we loved every minute of this calming oasis we've vowed to return before long. Here are a few snapshots from our afternoon...
