Brisbane Things to Do Tips by aussiejen

It's always nice to take time out and wander through a city's botanical gardens.

Brisbane's gardens are along side the Brisbane River, just a short stroll from the inner city.

We were in Brisbane in August, so not a lot of flowering plants out at this time of the year. The old trees are magnificent though.

This is a lovely spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Steve Irwin's Australian Zoo is top of many peoples list of places to visit. It's not cheap ($43 adult) so make sure you've got plenty of time to wander around the whole zoo and enjoy your time there.
It's a very professionally run place as you realise from the moment you enter the car park. You are directed to the parking area by a person....not just a sign.
Make sure you get a map as you enter, saves you wandering aimlessly. Also enables you to plan your day around the show times.
We were drawn to the crocodile show by the noise. The "CROCOSEUM" is a huge stadium area (would hate to be there if it was full). Unfortunately we didn't see Steve Irwin himself, but those guys handling the crocs were great anyway. Very informative.

Check on the net for discount vouchers...they are there!! Try googling "australia zoo+discounts" . I printed the vouchers out, took them with me and threw the staff into confusion, but I got the discount :)
