July 22, 2007:
First visit to Brisbane and first visit to Queensland.
Started from Quay West apartments @ 132 Alice St, into City Botanic Gardens. Grand Banyan trees. Ran beside Brisbane river (very pretty, opposite Kangaroo Point Cliffs). Crossed Goodwill Bridge (non-motor vehicles) to South Bank. Very scenic run vai South Bank Parklands (Griffith U, performance center, museum, etc), under Victoria Bridge and past two more bridges. Trying to trace the green route (8.4k), turn around at a factory. HB<150. Temp<18 C.
Noticed many runners and cyclists out in am and pm. Beautiful city.

July 24, 2007:
Started from Alice St, west to the river and ran along river shore walkway. Nice condos along the left. Up steep incline to start of Story Bridge. Went back down to the cost along James Warner Park all the way past Kangaroo Point. Many playgrounds along here. Past Goodwill Bridge, and retraced the same way along South Bank to .5k past third bridge past Victoria. U-turned and worked my way back to Goodwill Bridge and Botanic Gardens. Much faster pace this evening as I am more familiar and did not stop to take as many pictures. 1:15 time, about 12 to 13k.
Weather was overcast, temp 18 deg C
