The backpackers hostel where I stayed in Brissy had a shower with a note, "one minute!"
So the solid rain we had all day that day was a big blessing for the city, though it was a nightmare for travellers like me stuck at the hostel with no rain gear at hand. I'd wanted to explore the city and revisit the state art galleries, South Bank, and botanical gardens.
It turned out to be a good day for drawing and painting, and munching on apples and sponge finger savoiardi biscuits alone in an empty four-bed room with a shared balcony on the first (actually the second) floor just above the entrance.
