A day in Brisbane

While half the world was still asleep, there was breaking news of a bomb alert at a shopping mall in the Australian city of Brisbane on Wednesday, March 4.

Aussie Twitter news feeds followed developments in that story, while Brisbane Twitter users also spent their evening eating dinner, taking pictures, complaining about train schedules, musing on nightclubs, laughing at lizards and preparing to set their clocks back an hour for daylight savings:
