Coming back from Milton today I walked over the Go Between Bridge.
Its one of the newer model bridges in Brisbane that separate the different modes of travel. On this side the pedestrian walkway is shaded, and a little more protected from the rain, while the centre part of the bridge carries vehicular traffic.
There may be a no bikes sign on this side but there is a bikes only path on the far side of the bridge.
If you want some of the best coffee in Brisbane’s CBD you need to know where to find it.
Brew is a coffee shop in Burnett Lane, but not the main part of Burnett Lane, but the little bit that appears the other side of Albert Street.
That part of Albert Street is now part of the Queens Street Mall so its a bit hard to describe where it is.
Even with a good description, the entrance can be a bit daunting, down what is little more than a narrow entrance into a car park.
Brew itself is what I call a relaxed coffee outlet. Depending on the number of patrons service can be slow so its best not to be in a hurry. The coffee however is usually worth it .
One of my indulgences is to wander off to the markets in West End on a Saturday morning and have a curry puff or two for breakfast.
“Madness!” you might say “curry puffs for breakfast!”
Well they are always freshly cooked (at least as early as I get there) , and how often can you get such a tasty start to the day for a couple of dollars.
Where the old meets the new – a garden.
Stopped today walking along Russell Street in South Brisbane, to grab a photo of this hidden garden.
The garden I’ve noticed regularly, but only realised today how it connects the glistening new convention centre with what once must have been the railway bridge over Russell Street between the South Brisbane and South Bank railway stations.
I like that they haven’t tried to disguise the differences between the two structures, as well as enjoying the foresight that made use of the interstitial space for a garden.
