We are so lucky here in Brisbane having the Gold and Sunshine Coasts to our south and north along with beautiful bayside areas within minutes of the city. Today we had lunch with friends at a cafe in the Royal Queensland Yacht Club marina. It was so very cool under the tree. Our table was on the far side of the tree beside the water, but this picture gives you an idea of the spot. The Jetty Kiosk was where we originally intended to lunch but it was packed. Brisbane's best kept secret is out. Operated by the Port of Brisbane Authority, the Kiosk at Wynnum serves brilliant food at ridiculously low prices over the water with a view across the bay.
The very hot weather continues. Our home is fully air conditioned, and we've been using it. The cyclones in the north might bring some decent rain to South East Queensland where it's desperately needed. Northern Australia is again deluged with record breaking falls, but not here just yet. Hope it's happening soon, we are about to go to Level 5 water restrictions in Brisbane. Toowoomba has been on that level for several months now.

We've just returned from India (with children) and it didn't look at all like Brisbane's Port but it was great.
Cafe La Mer is actually part of the East Coast Marina complex, Owen. The RQYS's food is not nearly so nice, tho' it might be in future -- they are building a smart motel there (my guess is for boaties wanting to sleep on land for the night) and might up the ante with their food, as well. Here's hoping. The more great food joints on Brisbane's bay the better.
Couldn't agree more about the Jetty Kiosk: great food, great service, great price. But shhhhh! We want to get a seat there again sometime soon.
