While the Obsessive Cyclist was climbing a mountain again, I wandered through the Botanical Gardens and found an extra bonus: an outdoor concert in progress, courtesy of Brisbane City Council, and stopped to spend a very pleasant hour sitting on the grass listening to Australian composers.

Afterwards, the Japanese Gardens are always a relaxing sight.

These lizards found it relaxing, too, especially on stones conveniently warmed by the sun.

To round off the wildlife sightings, a young bird scratching happily, completely ignoring people. Not sure what it is when it’s grown up — a lyre bird of some kind?
