Battle of Britain and Bartle Frere and dinner

We walked along Embankment and saw the Battle of Britain Memorial.  These memorials are getting more artistic.
and those famous words.....

Also along the Victoria Gardens are statues to various people.  This one stood out - I knew Mt Bartle Frere was Queensland's highest peak, but I didn't know he was a person!  Here is his statue.  he was administrator of Cape Colony in South Africa - not sure whether he ever came to Queensland
And if they ever make a statue of you, make sure they put some anti-bird mechanism on the top.  I guess that is why the monarchs are sculpted with crowns on them.

We had dinner with Anne - Italian for main course and French for coffee and dessert.  Kin Mun braved the hot chocolate!
