Will and I went to Mount Coot-tha last week on one of our rare days off together. In the past we've been guilty of spending way too much time indoors watching movies, playing video games, etc., so we made plans to actually venture outside and get some exercise. We were originally going to hike up to Camp Mountain lookout for sunrise, but that was really pushing it for us, so at around two in the afternoon we decided to go to Mount Coot-tha for sunset instead.
We didn't have much time, so we had to choose between a walk around the Botanic Gardens or a visit to the Planetarium. Keeping the exercise part of the plan in mind, we opted for a walk around the Gardens. The Japanese Garden and Arid Region Plants were our favourite areas in the park. Next time I'd like to pack a picnic and walk around the Australian Plant Communities Trail.
After we finished the White Arrow Trail, we drove up to the top of the mountain to Mount Coot-tha Lookout, where we had burgers and hot apple pie at Kuta Cafe. The lookout is one of my favourite places in Brisbane, I wish pictures could do it more justice.
