    What an impressive sanctuary!! The animals are well cared-for, and have plenty of room to roam. Lots of koalas to see, and kangaroos to pet and feed! Plus, we enjoyed seeing a number of other animals and native birds.

    Lone Pine was one of the places we loved most on our trip through Australia. It's definitely a "must see" for anyone visiting Brisbane!

    A wonderful destination for people of all ages. There are several eateries in the area, and you may relax in the park and observe the passing scenery.

    We stayed in brisbane for 4 days before travelling back to England. Our family from coffs Harbour stayed with us for the first 2 nights. We travelled by city cats on several occasions finding staff very pleasant and happy to help. I lost my phone on the second day and I was a witts end looking all over I went back to southbank and asked a member of staff if I'd lost it on board one of the ferry's. He was extremely helpful my daughter in law kept calling my number and a member of staff answered we were extatic. We arranged to go to south bank for a set time and a staff member Steve walked over with my phone . 1 am 1 happy lady 😃 thank you Elaine

    Mount Coot-tha Summit Lookout offers a fantastic panoramic view of Brisbane City, making it a great spot for a quick visit or photo opportunity. There’s also a cafe if you want to grab a bite or a drink. We didn’t stay long, as there isn’t much else to do apart from enjoying the view, but it’s definitely worth a stop!

    We went during The Enchanted Gardens exhibition and it was a wonderful experience. The garden is beautiful when lit up at night and there are many Instagram-worthy features. The garden is walking distance from the CBD, but is also accessible via public transport, with Roma Street train station next door. Fantastic place to admire nature or for a bit of exercise and relaxation.

    I've been there for the third time yesterday. Every time I come I find a beautiful new feature that I hadn't noticed before. This time it was the Tropical Dome. I don't want to spoil it, I'll just tell you: don't miss it! Quite a sensorial experience! Also don't miss the Japanese gardens and Bonsai display. Fantastic! I recommend going as soon as it opens when it's not very crowded. 😄

    Gorgeous exhibits with a guided tour on a tablet. I watched all 28 of the videos. They were so interesting. Would strongly recommend stopping by and learning about the history of opals in Queensland.

    Outstanding ferry service on the Brisbane River and service the CBD, Southbank and Kangaroo Point and its free. KittyKats are catamaran type ferries with a 60-passenger capacity, very popular in the mornings and late afternoons. We had learnt from our previous visit and waited until late morning before venturing to the ferry port at Holman Street.

    We visited Brisbane as part of a Cruise. We were dropped off by bus very close to the gardens in the city, and we thought we’d have a stroll along the waterway. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and quite extensive and quite different plants that are stunning and we enjoyed the day very much., then we walked across one of the many bridges and enjoyed that side of Brisbane as well

    This was just a couple blocks from the W hotel that we stayed at W while in Brisbane. It’s immediately next to the City Hall and King George Square. There are lots of shops and food options here. Interesting for us is that a lot of the stores were American stores and brands. There’s definitely a lot of American influence in the Australian cities. This a nice place to walk around looking in store and have a bite to eat. We did this on the morning that we were leaving on a redeye flight back to the states so we didn’t spend as much time here as we probably would have liked to.

    The building alone is worth the trip, fantastic collection, and very quiet and peaceful if you want a break from the museum next door….the First Nations art works are stunning

    Really enjoyed tue Lego Brickman dino exhibit. Didn't see much else of the museum but that exhibit was very cool even though it cost. Mainly geared for kids probably 6+ as our 5 year old didn't have the attention span dor some of the exhibits.
