When The Doors Closed on WordCamp Brisbane 2017 – Southbank Beckoned!
That bittersweet moment, when you are tired enough to want to go home, but inspired enough to want more. A sad farewell to old and new friends and a promise to stay in touch. Only then did our thoughts stray to dinner, and Southbank beckoned. In search of a quick and easy meal, and to ensure the early night we’d promised ourselves, three of us headed across the bridge towards Southbank, on Sunday night.
The lights shimmering on the river made us forget about food…
….just long enough to capture the beauty of this part of the city.
Southbank, Brisbane, is a vibrant hub of activity, even on a Sunday night. In search of food, of the quick and easy variety, the splendour of this waterfront corner of the city opened up. Pop-up markets, with a vast array of Asian food, had enticed a large crowd. You would have to wonder if the crowds at the Night Noodle Market were locals having an easy night, or out-of-towners, like us? Either way, the relaxed atmosphere held us captive, for a while. But in need of a quieter atmosphere, we walked on. There are more permanent restaurants along the streets of Southbank, and we found the perfect place. Quiet, warm, peaceful, and enough choices to satisfy all our priorities – even Vegetarian options for me.
Fed, weary, and in desperate need of rest, we made our way back to our respective hotels.
If Australia WordCamp 2018 doesn’t come soon enough, we’ll look to foreign shores to get our WordCamp fix. The WordPress family comes together at WordCamp, and we can’t wait to meet again.

Hi
Yes, I am keen to attend the next WordCamp – there’ll probably be one on the Gold Coast about mid year 2018. Love your night photos of Southbank.
Yes!!! All I have to do now is wait for mid-year 2018. I might still check out an international WordCamp, just to see how the other half of the world does it. They’d have to be good to beat the Aussie ones I’ve attended, but, we’ll see.
The photos didn’t do justice to the natural beauty of the river, but it’s better than not seeing it at all, for those not lucky enough to be able to walk across the bridge at night.
Thanks for stopping by my Blog.
