Leaving Brisbane

These distant shots are probably more for my edification than your enjoyment.

 

The big and swift Brisbane River, once full of small craft working up with the tide to the sugar refinery,  woolstores and Powerhouse near the city centre:  these old and large buildings now converted to trendy apartments.  At the mouth of the river is Fisherman's Island now transformed from a home for midges and mosquitoes to a container wharf and soon a new cruise terminal....the larger ships can no longer get under the first bridge.  To the north of the river mouth is Brisbane airport which is getting a new parallel runway. And to the south, the Gold Coast .... home.
