Things to do in Brisbane: |
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Visitors from overseas will just love the abundant
and easily seen Australian wildlife at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Hold a koala, feed a kangaroo, hear a talk about our reptiles
– it all makes for a great day out. There’s no need to leave
the city to experience our amazing animals.
South Bank
Where did people gather in Brisbane before South Bank was created?
It’s hard to imagine the city without this destination. Every
visitor to Brisbane will enjoy South Bank’s sandy beach, the
open grassy picnic spots, the shops and dozens of eating places.
There’s the cinemas, regular free live entertainment and many
festivals and fireworks throughout the year.
Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay is huge! Take a trip to Stradbroke Island (affectionately
known as ‘Straddie’ to locals). On Moreton Island you can feed
wild dolphins at Tagalooma Wild Dolphin Resort. If you don’t
have much time, sit beside the bay when you visit the bayside
areas of Sandgate, Wynnum or Cleveland.
Story Bridge
Named after John Douglas Story, Brisbane’s Story Bridge
links the inner city suburbs of Fortitude Valley and Kangaroo
Point. Have a picnic or BBQ under the bridge at Captain Burke
Park or eat out at the historic Story Bridge Hotel. For the
more adventurous take a climb over the bridge itself with Story
Bridge Adventure Climb.
A Trip On The River
Even locals love to get out on the Brisbane River and it’s so
easy and cheap to do with a journey on the CityCat. Take a cruise
up and down the river, stopping where ever you like along the
way – South Bank, University of Queensland, New Farm... The
CityCats glide over the water and you’ll see million dollar
houses. Travel under the Story Bridge and get a whole new perspective.
