City Cat

Today is Saturday and we have spent the first night in our new place, albeit on a blow up bed in the study area as we have no curtains/ blinds as yet.

That's an aside. As today is Saturday we are going back to the farmers' market at the Brisbane Powerhouse. As usual our chosen mode of transport is the City Cat, an inner city ferry service that plies its trade from the University of Queensland in the West of Brisbane, up to Brett's Wharf in the East - neither of which we have actually been to as yet (in the three weeks we have been here we haven't actually strayed much outside of the city area at all - all in good time I say).

Not much else to report about the City Cat except to say it is regular, prompt, relatively cheap ($3.90 for a return) and well connected to other modes of transport ie there are buses awaiting its arrival or they arrive within a few minutes of arrival, as opposed to the bus having left before its arrival. Ahhh the benefits of an integrated transport policy.
