Brisbane September 25

Tuesday, 24 February 2026

This post is shamefully late but I wanted to remind myself of our trip to Queensland for 9 days to participate in the Australian Orienteering Champs but also to take in a week in Brisbane as we haven't spent much time there before.

To truly soak it up we rented an apartment beside the Brisbane River and very close to one of the River Cat stops so between events we rode it up to the cbd, to Brisbane's version of Southbank,  and just for general site seeing.

As expected, the orienteering was pretty hot and scrappy, but still fun:

Our highlight was definitely Jett's junior elite team winning the night relay. A nice way for him to round up his junior orienteering career.

We also found time to visit some cool swimming holes and waterfalls just outside of Brisbane:

Overall it was pretty fun. Good to get an insight into Brisbane life and enjoy some what it had to offer.
