Yesterday I went the Brisbane Botanical Gardens at the top of Mt. Coot-tha and and walked around there for a bit. The lizards are out at this time of the year and they run freely everywhere in the gardens. They range in size from a foot long to only a few inches and they make a lot of rustling noises in the leaves when you walk by.
After walking through he garden I took the bus 5 minutes up the road to the very top of Mt. Coot-tha. From the top of the mountain you can see a panoramic view over the city.
I'm told that it's very nice up there at night with all the twinkling city lights. Unfortunately the last bus leaves the top at 4:00pm so unless you have access to a car there's no way to get to the top at night. It's a popular spot to watch the fireworks they launch over the city during special events.
Along with the great view there's a fancy restaurant (cost of a meal $30.00+) and an icecream place; people go there to dine while overlooking the city, it's quite peaceful.

Hey Val...wow that is some lizard! Hope all is well. Laura xo
The city looks INCREDIBLE from up there. I can only imagine what it must look like at night.
I'm glad your exams are over Val. I hope they went well!
Yea, that's what I've been hearing, that the city looks incredible up there. I hope to get a chance to go up there at some point but I'll need to get a ride up there with someone.
