At the entrance to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha is the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. A free exhibition gallery includes a fascinating section on traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander astronomy. The planetarium's Cosmic Skydome screens numerous outer-space shows; bookings strongly recommended.

It's about 25 minutes by bus from Adelaide St in the city, opposite King George Sq.
