Brisbane, aka Brizzie, capital of the state of Queensland. It pretty much rained the whole time we were in the city with the exception of the time we were at the rugby game. Still, we managed to get out, even if we did get wet.
Fun with public art

More fun with statues
When it rains, you go to museums. On display at the Queensland Maritime Museum (which is huge btw, several ships, a naval frigate in dry dock, the stained glass windows from the Maheno wreck on Fraser Island), several fresnel lighthouse lanterns.
The retired naval frigate, the HMAS Diamantia, is in permanent dry dock and as part of your museum experience you can explore the ship, and you can touch everything, crawl on the furniture, even reposition the guns on deck. We decided the officers lounge made an excellent location for a cribbage game. Jim won.
Here's Jim, sporting his pirate look.
