Visits
- 2025-11-16: The next morning, we decided to take a trip over to the Botanic Gardens. We walked around most of the gardens area, then we were back in the CBD to check out some museums and fast food sushi. It was raining a bit, and I was still trying to decide if it was going to be worth it to watch AC/DC play that night. In the end, we did go to the concert which was actually quite good despite the advanced age of the band members.
