A
City Botanic Gardens
The spacious City Botanic Gardens is a regular chill-out spot for CBD workers and students craving fresh air and beautiful views of the Kangaroo Point cliffs. Set alongside a curve in the Brisbane River, the gardens form Brisbane’s oldest park and are filled with walking trails, green lawns, bamboo gardens, bunya pines, macadamia trees and Moreton Bay figs. The pretty Mangrove Boardwalk, a wooden walkway skirting the riverbank on the eastern rim, is lit up until midnight, affording good opportunities to spot possums.

Brisbane Botanic Gardens
At the foot of Mt Coot-tha are the lush Brisbane Botanic Gardens, which extend for 52 hectares and include over 20,000 species of plants. It’s a wonderful spot for a picnic (there are shaded areas and toilets) or ideal for simply wandering through the many gardens. Highlights include the fragrant plant and herb garden, tropical dome and bonsai house.
