We arrived at 8:50 AM ( Brisbane is 9 hours earlier ). When we stepped on the tarmact we were overwhelmed by the heat and humidity. It is much worse than in Sydney. We drove to the hotel with our karaoke car to drop the luggage. Unfortunately Brisbane is the worst for parking so it took a long while to find a place to drop the car.
Today at lunchtime we all ate a lovely salad. While we were eating, there were 2 Chinese purple Dragons dancing around for Chinese New Year.
After lunch, we went to the ANZAC ( Australian and New-Zealand Army Corps) war memorial, where we learned some more about the memorial and some soldiers. We also saw the eternal flame. But we quickly went out of the sun and on to the hotel.
Before we went to fort lytton , we had some free time: we showered , went to the pool and gym room. At 16:50 PM we departed to fort lytton, where Zoé and Daley were waiting for us. We received some gifts , cookies and water. We also had to protect us against the insects. We started our tour at a room where Zoé was standing and motivating us to be a part of the Great War. We followed them on a journey in the time of the Great War. They told us that the fort was actually a training camp for younger soldiers to prepare them to fight for their country . Their slogan was “ we make it and we break it”. In the fort, ammunition was stored to protect Brisbane from a possible Russian invasion. They told us a lot about the war ( and Australia ) and showed us some pictures. It was a whole interactive show , we all loved it very much. Before we went back to the hotel , we grabbed some diner at a Mexican restaurant. We all are very tired and will sleep immediately.
