Walk around the city
September 14th 2006 03:56
I like a city that is safe to walk around - and Brisbane is, especially during daylight hours, and that is the best time for an orientation walk.
There are organised walks with tour guide, which you might find helpful, but if you don't wish to do that, you can get a brochure of information on the ground floor of the Brisbane City Hall, and more information at the Visitor Information centre in the Queen Street Mall.
There are quite a number of interesting old buildings, and George Street is possibly the best place to see these. At one end of George Street is the Roma Street Railway station - now a modern building and right at the other end is the Queensland University of Technology with Old Government house in the grounds.
Adjacent to QUT is one of Brisbane's Botanic Gardens - the older one, and a wonderful place to walk and view some of the interesting plants. There is a cafe right in the middle, which is well signposted, and the Gardens are surrounded mostly by the Brisbane River. A good seat, a good book and fabulous views as you watch the river traffic go by.
