It was a sunny day and walking around in a green surrounding was, for my opinion, the best thing I could possibly do.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favourite spots in the park was a walk that explains the history of Sydney.It showed the history of the white people in Sydney and on the other hand the Aboriginal point of few. For example: James Cook discovered Australia in 1770, the Aboriginal comment related to this note:<br \/>\nThey (white people) say he discovered Australia, but we never lost it!<br \/>\nBy the way, did you know that more then 700 convicts where among the first settlers which arrived in Sydney? I finally left Sydney at 6:30 p.m. to go to Brisbane, after eight wonderful days, with lots of great impressions.<\/p>\n<p>9th of September, Brisbane<br \/>\nDays in Bris-Vegas, or the story ofhow I saved some bucks in accommodation, thanks to my mate Severin who currently studies in Brisbane. I arrived in Brisbane on the 8th of August, and after my first night, which I spent at a Irish pub in &#8216;Garden City'(a shopping and entertainment centre). Brisbane got it&#8217;s second name (Bris-Vegas) because of it&#8217;s active nightlife. Active nightlife&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On the 9th of August, my friend showed me around Brisbane and it&#8217;s most important sights which included a the city hall and a ferry ride on the Brisbane river. If you have some time in Brisbane, visit the New Farm Park , a very nice spot to relax and have BBQ or something like that. Later that day we visited the final ceremonies of the Goodwill Games, a major sport event in Brisbane. This included a INXS concert (the rest of the group with a new singer) and a huge fireworks. Good fun and best of all, for free.<\/p>\n<p>10th of September, Campus<br \/>\nI spend a couple of hours in front of a PC University, to keep up with my writing for Worldsurface and to send some emails to my friends, which hadn&#8217;t heard from me for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8th of September, Botanical Gardens, Arriving in Brisbane My last day in Sydney, which I spend mostly at the Royal Botanical Gardens.
