A morning in Brisbane

Brisbane

· WikiCon 2023 ·

View of the Matra hotel from the other side of the road (next door to the WikiCon venue).

The first morning of pre-WikiCon has gone well, in a Wikimedian way: a slow start because I'm on WA time, and a bit of the usual sticking the camera out the hotel windows to take photos of the surrounding area (e.g. the photo at right).

And then a walk across town to the State Library, first stopping at the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying to look at their displays of early cartographic equipment (I still want to try to do some old-school mapping for OSM!), and then onwards for morning coffee at the GOMA cafe to watch the ibises and the river flowing past.

Museum.

So the wiki total so far is only two photos and one Wikidata edit, but lots more are queued up.
