FAST FACT

Old Government HouseEngage in Queensland’s history during a visit to Old Government

House – perhaps the most significant building of the state’s past

as it was one of only two buildings constructed in the new colony

of Queensland between 1860 and 1862. Now set in the grounds

of the Queensland University of Technology, visitors can easily

imagine the importance the house played in both Brisbane and

the state’s social and political development.

West End locals tend to do things with a slight twist to the left. The result is a rare mix of alternative-minded people and innovative businesses – making it a refreshingly eclectic place to be.

Weekend markets, off-beat book shops and vintage outlets make it a popular getaway, and the street festivals, independent grocers and organic food markets attract the most colourful crowd in the city.

At night, Boundary Street’s cafés and restaurants become a hotspot for live music – highlighted by the famous Hi-Fi opening a venue right in the heart of Brisbane’s most bohemian urban village.

TASTES OF THE WORLDWith one-third of its population born overseas, West End boasts

its own distinct personality and flavour, partly due to its thriving

multicultural community that has settled in these parts for

many years. Look past the new residential developments to find

restaurant after restaurant of culinary delights, where you can find

some of the best noodle soup in Brisbane and great local characters

with many tales to tell. Fresh food lovers should find themselves

at the Davies Park Market (‘West End Markets’) to pick up organic

seasonal produce or a few bric-a-brac items such as pre-loved

clothing, flowers, handmade soaps and other vintage collectables.

It’s gritty, raw and cosmopolitan. To walk its streets is to experience an aesthetic that changes from moment to moment.

This is Australia’s fi rst dedicated entertainment precinct – its grungy pubs, swanky bars and huge super clubs play host to international DJs, cool indie rockers and live jazz.

At night, when strips of alfresco restaurants fi nally say goodbye to their last customers, the streets continue to buzz with energy.

Pause in the Brunswick Street Mall and you’ll feel it pulse to the beat of the live music scene, while talented buskers play support act.

Just before sunrise, hundreds of markets set up on Brunswick Street Mall, as Saturday and Sunday mornings become a hunting ground for fashion lovers, retro chasers and vinyl junkies.

This stylish riverside village combines a cosmopolitan sophistication with an outdoor lifestyle.

Authentic European delis, stylish cafés and unique bars are just a few reasons why this riverside village is one of Brisbane’s most popular. Its industrial roots have inspired great warehouse apartments and unique spaces like the Powerhouse – a former power station that is now a hotbed of creativity.

Some visit to simply stroll the beautiful tree-lined streets that are breezy portholes for immaculately renovated Queenslander homes and stylish art deco properties.

The picturesque Brisbane River hugs New Farm Park and forms a natural leisure peninsula, where picnickers seem permanently perched on deck chairs and checked rugs – and where a meandering riverside walkway connects people to the city.

You can spend forever wandering around the iconic Paddington Antique Centre that lives inside a Heritage-listed theatre, and Rosalie is loved by locals for its many creative eateries and a licensed bijou cinema that exhibits arthouse, independent and mainstream fi lms.

Picnickers sit and watch ambitious children climb beautiful old trees in a quaint little park just under the busy Story Bridge. It’s the start of Kangaroo Point and where Brisbane’s most famous pub, the Heritage-listed Story Bridge Hotel thrives.

The RiverWalk is an endless parade of rollerbladers, skaters, joggers and cyclists who choose to endure their regime with the river by their side. And on top of the cliffs, people come to barbecue or enjoy a coffee at the new Cliffs Café as rock climbers take on the challenging cliff face.

Cricket and football lovers know the hallowed turf that is the Gabba Cricket Ground, as well as the local tradition of fi lling surrounding pubs before and after the big games. But it’s the antique lovers, fi ne diners and retro hunters that have given this famous suburb a dash of sophistication.

Innovative creative spaces have given life to old Heritage-listed buildings and inspired the Gabba Village – a strip of sound studios and art galleries that live side-by-side with a violin maker, antique stores, designer and retro retailers, award-winning restaurants and stylish cafés.

HISTORY OF BREAKFAST CREEK HOTELTo fully immerse yourself in the city’s laidback lifestyle

a visit to the historic Breakfast Creek Hotel is essential.

Known to locals as ‘Breaky Creek’ this much-loved pub has

seen it all since opening in 1890 including floods, fires, fights

and falls. Original owner and former Brisbane Lord Mayor

William MacNaughton Galloway fell to his death from a

second floor window in 1895. His ghost reportedly visits

original sections of the building today, so listen closely and

he may tell you a tale or two.

Since 2006, The Brisbane

Cruise Terminal at Portside

Wharf has welcomed 95 per

cent of the cruise ship fleet

currently sailing in the

Asia-Pacific region including

vessels up to 270 metres long.

From Brisbane, passengers

can cruise to their choice

of destination – it’s only

one cruise day to Sydney

or two cruise days to the

Whitsundays. If you disembark

at Portside Wharf, a precinct

of cafés, riverside restaurants,

fashion retailers, cinemas and

weekly markets are on site.

Land Ahoy!

BRISBANE RACING CLUB

If you’re exploring the best of Brisbane – chances are you’re outside, on foot and embracing the sunshine. Add the convenient pedestrian bridges that connect the

city to South Bank, and exploring Brisbane’s best sights and activities becomes a sunny walk in the park.

Along the river, scenic cruises and CityCat ferry services zig-zag up and down its length – connecting you to most of Brisbane’s urban villages. For the adventurous you can follow every bend of the river in a kayak with a guided tour or rock climb on the riverside at Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

To explore the city streets and major attractions, take a City Sights bus tour that loops the centre of the city every two hours.

Under an hour from the heart of Brisbane is the aquatic playground of Moreton Bay and Islands and the World Heritage-listed Scenic Rim – explore for a day, a short break or a longer escape!

Entertainment &

NightlifeBrisbane is a city of scenes, a vibrant and diverse

collection of venues and entertainment precincts fuelled by the city’s love of live music.

It starts at dusk, in the heart of the city and its riverside precincts, where stylish bars and sophisticated clubs come alive with live music and DJs.

In particular, Fortitude Valley – Australia’s fi rst dedicated entertainment precinct – is home to grungy pubs and iconic live music venues, swanky bars and award-winning super clubs that play host to international DJs, indie-rockers and live jazz.

Bohemian West End is not far behind. Big venues sit alongside small quirky bars. And the innovative Brisbane Powerhouse at New Farm delivers contemporary performing arts and some of the best of live world music.

“Cloudland is like stumbling across another universe. The music is great, the cocktails amazing and the interior design is stunning. It’s worth a look on a night out.” Zoe

From the iconic Brisbane Jazz Club, to the Queen Street Mall, to the Entertainment Centre, Brisbane is a hot bed that sees emerging artists and touring performers playing stadium gigs and private acts in venues each day of the week. While The Zoo, Tivoli and Troubadour in Fortitude Valley are home to the city’s thriving music scene, locals know to check out The Hi-Fi Bar in West End as well.

“Brisbane’s art and culture scene is diverse and attracts some of the best names from around the world to perform, exhibit or play.” Kim

Whether you’re experiencing another exclusive exhibition at Australia’s largest Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) or an inspiring performance at one of

our independent theatres, you’ll be enthused by Brisbane’s dynamic and diverse cultural offerings.

The most impressive is Brisbane’s cultural precinct that sits along the river’s edge at South Bank and includes the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Queensland Museum, State Library, Queensland Art Gallery and of course the spectacular GoMA.

New Farm and Fortitude Valley are active creative hubs and home to many independent galleries, as well as the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts (home to the Institute of Modern Art) and the Brisbane Powerhouse – innovative modern spaces that feature world-class musicians, artists and performers.

Threaded through the city are many independent theatres, like La Boite ‘theatre-in-the-round’ in Kelvin Grove, an icon of Brisbane and symbolic of the city’s creative heart.

Shopping &

FashionBrisbane’s daring and diverse fashion scene boasts an

array of famous fi xtures while supporting emerging talent. International names such as Easton Pearson

and local girls made good like Sass & Bide have inspired many local designers to open boutiques throughout the city.

At the heart of Brisbane fashion is the Queen Street Mall, located right in the centre of the city. Australia’s largest open-air pedestrian mall has 700+ specialty stores – including international fashion outlets, major department stores and fl agship boutique stores.

James Street in Fortitude Valley has many boutique retailers stocking the best of local and national threads. Those still in love with yesteryear often head to bohemian West End or the hilly streets of Paddington, where Latrobe Terrace plays host to many antique stores, retro shops and vintage outlets.

The regular markets throughout Brisbane enable emerging artists to make their start and local favourites include the Young Designers Markets at South Bank and the Valley Markets in the Brunswick Street Mall.

Heritage &

ArchitectureA leisurely stroll around Brisbane City reveals a

delightful tale of two worlds. One is a fast growing capital city, fi lled with innovative modern architecture

like the bold and colourful Reddacliff Place and Australia’s largest Gallery of Modern Art at South Bank.

The other is Brisbane’s colonial past and the Heritage-listed historic buildings that still remain from the early days as a penal colony. Woven between the skyscrapers you’ll discover

museums that were built by convicts and housed Generals, some of Brisbane’s fi nest old churches, old mansions and much more.

The inner city suburbs like Paddington and New Farm also reveal the city’s original aesthetic, with rows of lovingly renovated Queenslander-homes, and the odd art deco building, lining the leafy streets.

“I take family from overseas to the Queensland Art Gallery or Queensland Museum because they have a great collection of Indigenous artifacts and Australian heritage.” Melanie

HISTORICAL WALKING TOURSDiscover the many sordid secrets of Brisbane’s historic past on a

free guided walking tour with the Brisbane Visitor Information

Centre. On offer each weekday from 12noon, the hour-long walk

takes in the city’s iconic buildings, including Brisbane Arcade and

City Hall, before venturing down historical George and William

Streets to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. If these walls could talk

what a tale they would tell.

Bikeways &

WalkwaysIf you prefer walking, strolling, jogging, cycling or

roller-blading, you’re in luck!

Brisbane is compact and well connected with several dedicated pedestrian bridges and a city-cycle hire scheme that makes it even easier to get around the inner city suburbs.

Brisbane is home to more than 1,200 kilometres of bikeways and walkways, including the RiverWalk – an alluring fl oating walkway that connects travellers to South Bank, Kangaroo Point, the Story Bridge and stylish New Farm and Teneriffe.

One of the most exciting ways to experience Brisbane via foot or pedal is along the esplanade boardwalks of the coastal villages from Redcliffe to Redland Bay or the walking tracks of the Scenic Rim. Located 90 minutes drive West of Brisbane, the Scenic Rim is home to eight National Parks, each with a variety of walking tracks that put the word ‘scenic’ into Scenic Rim.

Parks & National

ParksOur fabulous subtropical weather is the

reason we love our outdoor lifestyle and why there is a strikingly large amount

of green-space in Brisbane… 1,820 parks and reserves and counting.

Visitors are more than welcome to grab a blanket and fi nd a spot at inner city escapes like the Botanic Gardens, South Bank Parklands, Roma Street Parkland and New Farm Park – where locals come to celebrate with food, music, cultural events or simply to relax.

Only a 40 minute drive gets you to the sprawling hills and rainforests of D’Aguilar National Park – just one of the many National Parks surrounding Brisbane.

The Scenic Rim is only an hour away and includes World Heritage-listed National Parks, public camping spots and some amazing walking trails. Moreton Bay Marine Park is also on Brisbane’s doorstep and features a beautiful rugged coastline.

Only 25 kilometres from Brisbane City is an incredibly diverse paradise that stretches 125 kilometres from Bribie Island in the North to the Southern Bay Islands. In between is a rich, diverse and simply stunning Marine Park that includes two of the world’s largest sand islands (Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island) –

famous for their white sandy beaches, rugged coastlines and tranquil freshwater lakes.

Moreton Bay and Islands is fi lled with beautiful natural hinterland that makes for the ideal nature-escape, while the many coastal villages provide a charming community of restaurants, cafés, wineries, independent art galleries, museums and bayside picnic spots.

Whilst exploring the raw natural beauty of the region, visitors come for the four-wheel-driving, sand tobogganing, boating, quad biking, surfi ng and dining.

From June to October, whale watchers fl ock to some of the best land-based vantage points along the entire coast or get up close on purpose-built vessels cruising in the bay.

More to do along Brisbane’s Coastline.

LAKES, GLORIOUS LAKESListed as one of the world’s most ecologically important

wetlands are the series of inland freshwater lakes

on the island – the most popular being Brown Lake

and Blue Lake. Their calming beauty means they’re

of special significance to the local Indigenous people

– the Quandamooka. Brown Lake is easily accessible

by vehicle and has amenities such as picnic tables and

BBQs. Blue Lake requires a short walk but its stunning

beauty makes it a worthwhile trip.


ST HELENA ISLANDWith spectacular sweeping views of Moreton Bay

and Brisbane’s coastline, this island National Park

has a fascinating and colourful past. Today you can

explore the historic stone ruins of a 19th century

prison, which was once the most profitable prison in

Queensland history. For more than 65 years murderers

and bushrangers were held here, including many of the

people involved in the 1891 Australian shearers’ strike.

Pre-booked tours depart Manly Harbour.

Take a look at the gallery where you’ll fi nd art from local artists or try one of the weekly art workshops of pottery, drawing, painting or more.

The patchwork fi elds and country hospitality of Brisbane’s Country Valleys will undoubtedly soothe the soul and remind you of life’s simple pleasures.

Just an hour drive North-West is Somerset and Lockyer Valley – the perfect spots for a day’s adventure or weekend getaway.

Somerset Dam and Esk are paradise for those who love their watersports like skiing, sailing, canoeing and swimming while the excellent range of camping and boat ramp facilities makes these spots popular with fi shing enthusiasts.

For a truly unique experience you wouldn’t get to do every day visit an ostrich or deer farm.

There is a full days worth of antique shops to sift through in Caboolture, Kilcoy and Dayboro, then at night sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the views of the Great Dividing Range from one of the many bed and breakfast options.

Country ValleysCHARM & CHARACTER ABOUNDS

Classic country hospitality.


MUCH TO DO BY THE LAKESomerset Dam is paradise for those who love their watersports.

Cradled and protected by surrounding mountains, the dam is

ideal for waterskiing, wakeboarding, surfing and fishing. The

excellent range of camping and boat ramp facilities nearby makes

it a must-visit spot, but if you don’t have your own boat, hire one

from Somerset Dam Accom & Boat Hire nearby.

Toogoolawah Drop ZoneFeel the need for speed? Get your adrenalin rush and all

your sightseeing done in one hit with Ramblers in the

Brisbane hinterland. Ramblers Drop Zone in Toogoolawah

was purpose built for thrill-seeking skydive action.

Accommodation is available onsite for those looking to

make a weekend of it. The kids aren’t forgotten either, with

a pool and many fun activities available for them while

you’re having the time of your life.

Filled with delightful country

hospitality and award-winning

of heritage façade in Australia. It provides a delightful backdrop to the quaint cafés and boutique stores offering local handmade goods and sweets, crafts from around the world and vintage collectibles.

Historic and expansive Queens Park in the city centre keeps families well-entertained with its impressive Nature Centre, Japanese-themed Nerima Gardens and traditional Tea House, an Environmental Education Centre and the park’s state-of-the-art playground.

TIPPING AND BARGAININGHotels and restaurants do not add service charges to your bill. In up-market restaurants, it is usual to tip waiters up to ten per cent of the bill for good service. However, tipping is always your choice. It is not custom to bargain in Australia.

WATER RESTRICTIONSPlease be considerate of your water usage as permanent water restrictions are in place in Brisbane. For more information visit:W brisbane.qld.gov.au/water
