After a short training session we all exchanged two feet for two wheels and took off down the river side promenade weaving past bicycles, families and runners enjoying the morning sun...Tiffany led the way on her pink segway...These things were really cool, I've always looked at them as being a geeky option, but they are a really fun way to get around, perfect for exploring a new city!
After wandering through the South Bank weekend markets for an hour we headed out of the city east into the Redlands region for some wine tasting and lunch. Sirromet winery is located around 45min from Brisbane and provides an award winning dining and wine tasting experience. This is a great lunch time option when staying in Brisbane. Located within easy reach of the city either self driving or with JPT Tours, Sirromet's grounds are home to scores of kangaroos and wallaby's who lounge between the vines surrounding the winery, a stunning bush setting for the afternoon.
During the afternoon Michael led the group on a walking tour of the city's downtown including Queen Street Mall, the city's main shopping hub home to over 700 specialty stores....a credit cards worst nightmare!
With this trip labeled 'love the wild life' the choice for tonight's dinner was very appropriate, or inappropriate, depending on your point of view. As it gave the group the opportunity to eat the wildlife.... Tukka restaurant is located in Brisbane's West End and specializes in native Australian Cuisine, including many of the native animal meats served in various forms, a very unique experience and not to be missed!
