Aust trip day 18 - brisbane city (part 2)
we continue our tour of e city e nx day...
eagle street pier~~
we went to e riverside mkt & saw this super cool street performer~~ he has all kinds of musical instruments attached to his body & plays them simultaneously wif his head, hands & legs!
BKs are called hungry jack's in aust. the reason was bcos when BK moved its operations into Aust, it found that its business name was already trademarked by takeaway food shop in Adelaide. as a result, an alternative name hungry jack's was used for its franchises. subsequently, when e trademark ended, BK decided to opened its own BK outlets in other parts of aust. of course hungry jack's wasnt too happy abt it & they went to court. eventually hungry jack's won e case so now we dun hav BK in aust oni hungry jack's!
e oldest windmill in brisbane, built by convicts~~
roma street parkland, world's largest subtropical garden in a city centre, featuring an amphitheatre & a big lake, a variety of themed gardens and recreational areas, with a web of pathways and boardwalks traversing cascading waterways and rocky outcrops.
Suncorp stadium, the home of rugby league football in Queensland. it was a match day when we went & e whole stadium was super high!
brewery of XXXX (pronounced four-X), a very popular brand of beer in queensland. this was e most unique name for a brand of beer dat i've ever seen! lol!
& wine was so cheap in aust dat we bought in bulk! haha... my suitcase was filled wif bottles of red wines instead of clothes when we came back spore!
