Brisbane has a Farmer’s Market every Wednesday. In-between what they call “occasional showers” over here (which I’d call “major downpours”) I took a ferry across to the CBD to have a look. On the way I very nearly didn’t make the ferry: I found a beautiful heron on the river bank, and thus had to stop to take some shots.

I did actually make the ferry with seconds to spare. Not that it would have mattered if I had missed it — unlike the bus, ferries go every 10 minutes; it’s awesome.

The market sells mostly fruit and vegetables, most of it local and all of excellent quality. Here are the goodies I came back with. Doesn’t this look healthy?

One of the joys of living in Brisbane is the cycle path all along the river. Well, it used to go all along — sections of it are still closed in the aftermath of last month’s flood. Today I went for a little ride, the 5km section between Kangaroo Point and South Bank, taking my camera with me. Pleasing views and public art are all along the route. Here is a selection.
