Australia World Tour: Voyage of the Subo

Bristanbul



Brisbane, sometimes referred to as Brisney Land, or Bris Vegas... or why not BrIsreal, BrIstanbul, Puerto Risbane is a sultry settlement. We are staying with our Brizzie connection Jacqui who is showing us around and housing us as well and taking us around in her roofless 4 wheel drive Suzuki (the Suzi) giving Subo a rest.
Subes was just so excited about Brisbane, she cast away her oil cap on the open road. A trip to the wrecker solved the problem; we scored the replacement for free. Subo now sits in Jacqui's driveway like Frankenstein on the surgeon's table, a hodgepodge of cannibalised parts, awaiting a replacement windscreen (windshield). If all goes well she'll be ready to pass the roadworthy inspection, which, along with heaps of other paperwork, will allow her to be reregistered.
We've also been enjoying the sights of this rockin metropolis. We spent a day at the museum, we went to the lookout and we spent an entire day at a cheap breakfast joint. Mostly it's been hanging out with our outrageous friends Jacqui and Rosie, along with Sam and the entirety of Jacqui's immediate family, Mr. W, Ma Marshall, Ian and John.
