Out and About in Brisbane....

Sometimes, we forget that where we live can be worth exploring too!  Here's Brisbane!

Bougainvillea-covered Arbour, Southbank, Brisbane

The Wheel of Brisbane

Enjoy Southbank Parklands, on the banks of the Brisbane River, spread over 17 hectares, a corner of paradise directly opposite the city, complete with a man made beach and always sunny!

Wander through the pretty kilometre long bougainvillaea covered arbour or hop on the Wheel of Brisbane for a bird's eye view or or stop by the Nepalese Peace Pagoda for some quiet time.

Be there on the 1st Sunday of every month if you just love soaking up the atmosphere of local craft markets!

Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Southbank, Brisbane

Maybe after a visit to one of our art galleries or the Queensland State Library, you can reserve your seat at one of QPAC's four venues to catch a concert or a Theatre show!  So lucky to have major events here, Disney's Lion King and Wicked to name but too, from ballet to Classic concerts, get in quick, tickets sell out fast!

Cuddle a Koala, over 130 to choose from @ Lone Pine

Jump on a river cruise to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, a great place to meet and cuddle and hand feed some of the locals!  Cute!

Ella's Pink Lady, Jessica Watson's round the world yacht, some say foolish, some say brave, either way, she's famous and her tiny boat now lies in the Queensland Maritime Museum, Brisbane while Jessica appears to have  taken a step back from publicity

Kangaroo Point

Take a ride on our little red tourist ferry, it's free!

As you stroll along the banks of the Brisbane river, watch or learn to rock climb at Kangaroo Point Cliffs
