Back in the old routine. Breakfast on the terrace at Pullenvale watching the birds. All of our friends made a return - galahs, king parrots, crested and bronze wing pigeons and the pair of rainbow lorikeets who, despite being the smallest birds here, undoubtedly rule the roost. John and Ann's son David called in with his wife Theresa and they were telling us a bit more about local natural history.
After lunch we went to visit the Brisbane Tramways Museum, half an hour's drive away on the north west side of the city. John and Ann opted out of this major cultural experience for some reason. When we arrived we were the only visitors and were treated to private tram rides. Eventually a bloke turned up with his grandson but even then there were plenty of seats to go round. In total we had rides on six different trams ranging from one built in 1901 to one built in 1964. Rosena was especially pleased to spot a new bird - a Bush Stone Curlew, a pair of which were nesting beside the tram tracks.
