6 December 2024 Brisbane: Fortitude Valley and a Walk Back Along the Heights



We will be heading to the Fortitude Valley for some music next week so I took a trip over there for orientation purposes.  In addition, I will be taking a train on Tuesday so I wanted to know how to get to the station.  It turns out that I can take the train to Caboolture, almost an hour north, for only 0.50 AUD which is about 35 cents.  Caboolture will be my next birding location and I will be getting on the train at 5:39 AM.  That is too early to try to figure out how and where to get to.  I took the bus over and then decided to walk back.  When I plotted the route back it took me over to the river and along the high ground.  Great to see all the different houses.


We will be heading here for some music
