Today is Thursday, the fifth day of our stay in Brisbane. After breakfast we played poker. Then we (Tim, Lukas and I) decided to spend our day at the city centre because there was no programme. At 12 o' clock we took the ferry to the city centre. The ride to the city centre is free and took approximately half an hour. The ferry station was called Eagle Street Pier.  Afterwards we decided to discover the city centre. The city centre is very modern. We saw lots of skyscrapers but we also saw a few old buildings. Then we went to Queen Street Mall which is a pedestrian mall. It is 500 meters long. Over 700 retailers are located there. We went into a few stores and I bought an Australian soccer jersey. In the afternoon we were hungry. So we went to an Asian restaurant. There we had some noodles. Then we went to a supermarket. We wanted to buy something to drink because the stores would be closed the next day. Then we drove back by ferry. In the evening we saw a beautiful sunset. Then we had dinner in the youth hostel. After dinner we started packing our luggage for the trip to Hervey Bay.
