On Friday, we drove to the top of Mount Coot-tha, a hill near Brisbane with great views of the city. From the lookout point, we could see the whole city beneath us:
As well as sampling the views, we stopped for lunch at the cafe at the top of the hill. Alas, the meal proved to be absolutely horrible. Hannah's shepherd's pie was barely edible. My Thai curry was a little better but wasn't worth the $15 that we paid for it. Avoid the cafe at the top of Mount Coo-tha!
Our Lonely Planet guidebook told us to check out some of the waterfalls in the area. We drove to near Simpsons Falls but didn't bother to visit the falls when we realised how little water was coming down the stream:
Luckily, there were some highly geological rocks in the area:
We headed to the nearby JC Slaughter Falls in search of actual flowing water. Alas, there wasn't much there either (and the path to the bottom of the falls was closed!).
Nevermind. We had the most awesome Chinese/Vietnamese takeaway at Dan's sister's house that evening. Mmmmm....
