    After a fun filled day and stuffing our faces in Melbourne, we were once again in Tullamarine Melbourne Airport heading to Brisbane for our next destination.

    Our hosts were at the airport to pick us up when we arrived and it was late evening. Our hostess was my wife’s classmate when they were in school so there was lots of excitement.

    March 28
    Our host took us to Mt. Coot-tha to the iconic Brisbane Lookoutto have a breathtaking panoramic view of Brisbane.

    It was a very interesting and educational day for us. Our hostess took us out for dinner to the mall nearby. The waiter that took the photo for us had shaky hands because he took 3 shots and they were all shaky!

    Oh, goodie more of your vacation!! I have missed seeing the photos.

    I have one of the plants you showed....the Cat's Whiskers. Not supposed to be a perennial in my zone but it did come back last spring and not nearly as huge as the one you saw.
