Brisbane Things to Do Tips by cas_twemlow

One thing you should definitely do in Bris-Vegas is go on the City Cat! If you catch it in central Brisbane and take it upstream, you'll be heding towards the West End and the University of Queensland which is set in very beautiful grounds. Then if you take it back down stream you'll go back past Southbank (where they have a 'fake' beach and markets and entertainment on the weekend), Kangaroo Point Cliffs, the Riverside and City Centre (where there are also markets on a weekend), past New Farm Park (which is a huge park full of fig trees), Teneriffe, Bulimba and then finally to Bretts Wharf.

The round trip will cost you about $4 and take about and 1-2 hours if you don't get off. But see if you can get off at the University, maybe New Farm Park (which, if you walk through it to the other side, has great shops and food delis), Bulimba is also similar to New Farm (except for the park) and Bretts Wharf is at the end of Racecourse Road - quite a nice (and a bit snobby) street lined with cafes, shops and ending with Eagle Farm Racecourse.

I am a Brisbane local and I love the City Cat!

Address: Various stops along the Brisbane River

This was AWESOME! Did it yesterday (25 May) with 60 other people from my work - it was part of a team building exercise.

I know I live in Brisbane and see the bridge and the city etc everyday, but the climb was really great and the guides that take you up there are very knowledgeable, funny and share some little stories about Brisbane that you would never know.

For only $100 per person, I think it's money well spent and a great way to spend sunset for two and a half hours.
