This question of car park for  games at Suncorp Stadium comes up every now and then for us as a family, I/we have been going to sporting events at Suncorp Stadium (Lang Park) for a long time now.

It is always been ok to find a car park in the Brisbane City area even when going to watch International Tests for Rugby League or Rugby Union, State of Origin, Super Rugby, Rugby League World Cup Games, Rugby League World Cup Finals or, as we are going to see tonight, the Broncos playing the Bulldogs in NRL Rugby League.

I used to have what I called a secret car park just off Herschel Street off North Quay which cost me five dollars to park for the night.

If you got there a little early, which was the best time to soak in the atmosphere there were plenty of car parks and like I have said, very affordable and cheap for inner city evening parking.

That place soon was to go and become a building with no car parks at all available unless you got onto their roof.

So an alternative game car park was needed to be found.

Queen Street Mall Brisbane = La Rambla Barcelona?

This may seem like a funny question to you, but I have noticed, as I travel into Brisbane City a fair bit these same street performers turning up with the same look as the ones in Barcelona La Rambla.

How do I know, I have been to La Rambla and seen them all there in their glory.

What started off as one man by the railway entrance next to King George Square has turned in to two and now three street performers.

Here is a picture of one of them so you get a feel for what they are like.
