I caught the shuttle and wandered around the Mt. Gravatt campus on Monday for a while in the rain.
And on Tuesday, I went to Sunnybank Plaza and did some grocery shopping, and bought some school supplies finally (like a binder, and some dividers, scotch tape, and scissors.)
This morning, I had another economics experiment at 10am, but I found out that they had canceled it because they were short of participants. (I still made 10$ just for showing up, woot!)
Since my class today was at the Royal Children's Hospital in the city, I decided to go a little early to explore. It was still raining (and I thought Brisy was in a drought!) but it wasn't too bad.
I stopped by the CBD library first, and managed to find one book that I was specifically looking for, and one book that was a complete surprise. Apparently, one of my favorite authors (Donaldson) wrote another couple of books to conclude a series (that was supposedly already finished). So I picked up this compilation and was very excited!
Afterwards, I did a little shopping, and bought an Australia key chain (I needed something more than a safety pin to hold my keys!) and some post cards to mail back home. Then I wandered across the bridge:
There was a Nepalese temple-like structure, where some kids where filming some kind of marshal arts video:
And then you can walk through the "rainforest walkway":
Continuing on is this beautiful pathway:
which has bougainvilleas in bloom lining the way
If you keep walking, you get to the beach, where they created a man-made beach right alongside the river. Very neat, and people were still hanging out there even though the weather wasn't so great.
Eventually, I started walking back towards the busway,
and ran into some local wildlife:
I took a new bus to the Royal Children's Hospital, with plenty of time to spare, and saw this guy outside:
And this was the view from the lecture room:
