OZ +9: "This is me in front of..."

Places always look great from high-up.

You get such a wide, expansive view and see the city in its place in the environment, between the bay and the hills. All flaws are ironed out - you can't see the building sites, the cracked pavements or the graffiti.

And it's also really quiet - you're well away from the noise and from the busy business of people's daily lives.

In Brisbane, Mount Coot-Tha is the place to do that. Fifteen minutes by bus and a great place to have lunch with a view.

Against my better judgement, here is a picture of me doing just that...



This is one of very few "This is me in front of..." pictures from the entire holiday. I can't be doing with them in the main. I know I was here, I'm presuming everyone else believes I was, so "This is me in front of..." just spoils the view. ("This one is me in front of the pyramids, this is me in front of the Taj Mahal..." - Yes...!! Now get out of the bloody way...!!!)
