AUSTRALIA: A list of things you may like to do

A nice, long, park that most of the below items are scattered through.

On the weekends, there are often sweet “farmer’s” markets, with many tasty treats and fancy nick-knacks on offer.

In contrast with Melbourne, South Bank is two words.

State Library of Queensland

The State Library of Queensland is home to the Tree of Knowledge, birthplace of the Labor Party across the globe. There are also a number of interesting, if thinky, exhibits on various pieces of Queensland history. Not to mention every book published in Queensland since that’s what State Libraries do.

Queensland Museum/Sciencentre

The Queensland Museum is your standard museum: Home to many an exhibit, some of which are hands-on. It also includes two different Art Galleries

Streets Beach

The Wheel of Brisbane

One of those ferris wheel contraptions that are all too common these days, the Wheel of Brisbane is wheel-shaped and in Brisbane.

Brisbane Maritime Museum

As it says on the tin, the Brisbane Maritime Museum is home to quite a few boats. Boats are cool.

South Brisbane Railway Station

It has super ornate benches that you can sit on.
Also, it seems way too old to not have been knocked down and replaced with something sleek and soulless.
