Took a train to Central early on the morning of December 11th '07. The heat was on and the humidity but I still didn't expect to see a pedestal fan in the middle of platform 5. Ipswich Line. Its things like this which endear Brisbane to me BIGTIME. On my way into Town - I'm sure it would still be called Town - just like my Mum used to say in Sydney when we donned stockings, hats and gloves in the 50s to catch the Belmore train into the City - well on my way into Town on the 7.04 from Auchenflower , all seats were taken by the stressed and exhausted en route to work etc - Drat thought I. Up stands a young man and hands me his seat. And they are still thanking Bus Drivers. I am very impressed. A kindly City it is .
