Brisbane Sights

  1. Brisbane Botanic Gardens

    The City Botanic Gardens are a pleasant respite from the busy city and a firm favourite of lunching office workers. The gardens are dominated by open, grassy walking areas and are popular with strollers, joggers, picnickers, cyclists and skaters. The park is partly lit up at night and you stand a good chance of seeing tame possums here.

  2. Brisbane Forest Park

    North-west of Brisbane lies the D'Aguilar Range, which includes Brisbane Forest Park. Hidden within this 28,500 hectare natural bushland are remote gorges, expanses of subtropical rainforest and scribbly-gum woodland. The birdlife is prolific and Brisbanites come here by the dozen to take advantage of this natural playground. There are numerous walking trails varying in length and degree of difficulty.

  3. New Farm Park

    New Farm, just east of the Valley along Brunswick St, is the latest neighbourhood to undergo gentrification and is now bursting with coffee shops, wine bars and restaurants. At weekends, all action centres on New Farm Park, a lovely, open parkland with playgrounds and picnic areas.
