Tuesday, 29 April, 2014 (Flight to Brisbane)

Today was the day we made the flight from Canberra to Brisbane. Syndny could have been mistaken for any older city in the US. Canberra had the feel of a city devoted to government, much like DC. Brisbane is colorful with twisting roads and shops hiddin all over the place. Brisbane has a different feel to it the the other cities that makes it feel more Australian. You can tell that there has been a flood recently because there are many newer buildings along the water ways. After checking into the hostel eleven miners of the group had lunch at the Hogs Breath and then went shopping at Coles. After shopping myself and four others dropped off our shopping in our rooms and then explored the YHA. We spent the rest of the day relaxing in different ways.
