After we had out lunch at Opa, we walked hopped back on the ferry to get to the Felons brewery that is located under the Storey Bridge. Here Mike and Leslie were able to get some of the many Felon beers that were on tap. The brewery was founded by four felons who were shipwrecked on nearby Moreton Island in 1823. They later founded the brewery which is still in existence today. Leslie got a mango brew and Mike chose the barrel aged brew. I was able to try a few new gins, the Papa Salt gin and the "The Slowing Down of Time" gin made in Australia by AOB, the Art of Booze brewing. This complex is just enormous with four large beer halls each with food and entertainment areas. We sat inside so we could get some back support from the chairs. We did not want to get all the way down to sit in the bean bag chairs that seemed to be everywhere. All too soon, it was time call an Uber to head back to the port. We thought that the top side would be the best place to mee the car, so we took the giant elevator to the top of the bluffs but the Uber app made us go back down. Even then we were chasing after the car to get him to stop. We said our goodbyes and Leslie and I walked along the elevated walkways back to our place. We put in 11,700 steps for the day and our feet felt it.
