Day 97: Brisbane

Traffic is really bad in Brisbane.

Everywhere we go, no matter what time, we end up in a traffic jam and all through the night we can hear the highway traffic from our camp site. I have resorted to wearing ear plugs.

I believe the road infrastructure here has a lot to be desired and there is talk of tunnelling under the river to ease congestion. I think it is going to take a lot more than that.

Brisbane also claims to have over 500km of cycling track. Most of the cycling track we have seen appears to be an after thought where a bicycle symbol has been painted where cars parallel park. Which means if you are pelting down the road at 25km/h and someone opens their car door... your buggered.
