Brisbane has XXXX, the Adirondacks don't....Let me just say that the XXXX left an excellent impression
I actually got to go to Brisbane for a week on business when I was a kid. What a trip- I managed to squeeze in a trip to the local zoo to see the koalas and pet the baby roos, and also got to a real footie game!
Anyhow, if you ever get back this way, the offer will always be good
Looking forward to hearing about your trip. There's nothing like a New Yorker that hasn't even seen the tourist attractions in New York - so there are places I haven't been that I'd sadly only get to by touring someone else around.... My Aussie associates actually came up to visit after my trip down there, so I was able to do a bit of touring around my own state once already, and would gladly do it again.
All the best,
