Brisbane Wheel

They do love their lights in Brisbane. When the weather is warm and it gets dark at six, I suppose there is incentive. The Southbank area is the Brisbane Arts district with several museums and theatres. It was the site of Expo '88, which brought a great deal of economic development to the city … probably quite similar to Vancouver's Expo hosting in 1986. I think most of Brisbane was over in Southbank tonight … nice and busy. I rode the wheel earlier in the day … I tend to think it looks more impressive than the ride is … you get some nice views but obstructed by reflections in the glass, dirt or watermarks on the glass and parts of the wheel structure. (And there are no glaciers in the view!)
