Travel in Australia: Brisbane (2)
Our hotel was located in Spring Hill. We walked to Story Bridge after dinner on the first night. Under the bridge was a street of pubs, and it seemed that local people liked to talk and drink there. The next day, I woke up early and began my walk around the hotel within a 3‑km radius. When I arrived at St John's Cathedral, it was 9 am—too early for tourists. By the time I finished taking photos of the plants in the little garden beside the cathedral and was about to leave, there were still very few people. I have no religion, but I'm always willing to appreciate religious architecture wherever I visit, like most Chinese people. The first church I ever visited was Notre Dame Hall of Luther Catholic Church in Guangzhou several years ago—tiny and lovely. Later, I visited Sacred Heart Cathedral in Guangzhou, which is several times larger than the former one. I used to think all big churches were as old as Sacred Heart Cathedral, but St John's Cathedral and the other cathedrals I visited later all look pretty new.
On my way to Archdiocese of Brisbane, I passed by the Historic Mooney Memorial Fountain. There was a plaque that told people it was in memory of a young fireman, James Thomas Mooney. Beside the fountain were big trees and a café—such a shame that I didn't have enough time to sit there for a while. I guessed that was mass time at the cathedral, so I didn't go in and continued on my way to City Botanic Gardens. As a plant lover, I was amazed by the variety of plants in Australia, because some of them also grow in southern China—but here they are much taller and stronger! So I guess the climate in Guangdong isn't quite as good for them, haha. City Botanic Gardens felt more like a big park to me than a proper botanic garden. In the botanic gardens or parks I've visited before, there were usually lots of information signs, but here I only saw a few.

Extremely well written, you basically sound like a native English speaker! Also, I have to say that nothing in Australia is that old - it only became a country in 1901, after all. You may have to lower your expectations, lol.

Well, Australia did surprise me in some ways!
