Brisbane - We walked across the Victoria bridge to Southbank, South Brisbane. Victoria bridge was built on the site of Brisbane's oldest bridge. Here at the Southbank, there are lots of arts and drama buildings like Gallery of Modern Art, Museum & Science Centre, Convention Centre, Griffin University and the Performing Arts Centre.

This Nepalese structure was the only building kept by the Brisbane City Council after the Expo 2008.
A further walk down, we came across one of the recycling plant servicing the Southbank population.

Walking further down, we came across an Ancient plants garden.

An interesting Cycad, a cone-bearing plant that existed during dinosaurs time.
Every Saturday, the Southbank held their art and creative market. A huge crowd gathered around many of the stalls at this market. I was not able to take photos of the stalls as many vendors put signs of 'No Photo' taking.
Along the way there was an
Epicurious Garden with patches of edible vegetables.

| Cassava (Tapioca) |

| Taro (yam) |
All these vegetables and fruits are given away weekly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by the Brisbane City Council.
Along the Southbank, many people were sunbathing in the winter sun on an artificial beach,
