Our apartment in Brisbane is not quite as close to the river as the Ponte a Serraglio apartment is, but I usually see the Brisbane river every day when I am out and about. When I left Australia in January, the river was still recovering from the disastrous floods that devastated the city. One of the casualties was the City Cat service, which had to be suspended because many of the docking terminals were destroyed. Not all are back in place but the sleek catarmarans are once again gliding on the river. It is great to see them back.

The cross river ferries are back in action as well.
life on the river
I stood on the Victoria bridge for a while watching the cats and the ferries cruising up and down the river. It is wonderful to see the city back to normal and looking fabulous. It is hard to believe this lazy old river caused to much damage just a few months ago.
the river is looking good
It is officially winter here in Brisbane. Just look at this gorgeous day.
