Out And About


Felons is an industrial brewery and restaurant


Situated underneath the iconic Story bridge it has great views of the river and the city.


The brewery takes its name from the true tale of four felons, who, in 1823, on their way to Illawarra from Sydney were blown off course and found themselves lost at sea and ended up shipwrecked on Moreton Island.



The pigeons dive in as soon as people leave!

oOo


Another day, elsewhere, a short walk across the Neville Bonner bridge takes you to the casino building, the round one in the middle.


We didn't want to go to the casino,
just up to the sky deck for the views and cocktails. 


This was scary. A glass floor above the freeway below. I knew the floor was safe but I had to hold onto a post before stepping out onto it!
That's my foot on the right.


My daughter and S had margaritas


I'm not good with lunchtime alcohol so I had a very nice coffee 😊

We decided against the overpriced restaurants and opted instead for a very nice Vietnamese restaurant in the city. Although we did agree that my daughter and S should treat themselves to a meal here for a special occasion.

  2. Wonderful places to visit. The glass floor would be challenging for balance, I think.

  4. Those glass floors in high places freak me out! But I stood on the glass floor at the top of the CN Tower in Toronto anyway. So brave, LOL! Love the photo of your foot!

  7. What a great view from the top, Polly, and I would also have been nervous about the glass floor. We walked across one years ago and now I can't recall eactly where it was located, I believe it was in Canada.

    1. In many countries I think there are glass walkways spanning a few metres, or longer. I don't think I could walk on one of those!
