Multiple great walks to choose from. The coastal walk was absolutely beautiful with great views along the whole way, gorgeous look outs and access to sandy beaches. Great photo opportunities. Also lots of spots either on the beach or at some of the lookouts to have lunch. Also a lovely area at the entrance for a little picnic. Really enjoyed it!

Pictures don’t do it justice so stunning! We were able to see dolphins and whales along our walk. The fairy pools are farther down than expected be careful but it’s the views. We wended up not swimming in them because we for distracted by a pod of dolphins swimming by. Tea tree bay was a nice swim. A little chilly still since we are coming out a winter into spring (September). But we still went out!

Noosa National Park is an absolute gem and easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Australia. I spent half a day exploring and could have stayed much longer — the combination of coastal scenery, wildlife, and peaceful walking trails makes it a truly special spot. The Coastal Track is the highlight and a must-do. It’s well maintained and runs along the edge of the cliffs, offering incredible ocean views the entire way. I started from the main entrance near Noosa Heads and walked all the way to Hell’s Gates. Along the way, there are several lookout points — Tea Tree Bay, Dolphin Point, and Granite Bay were my favorites. Each offers a slightly different perspective of the coastline, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins or turtles in the water below. Wildlife spotting was another highlight. I actually saw a koala resting high up in a eucalyptus tree near Tea Tree Bay — such a cool moment! The park is also full of birds, and you’ll often hear them before you see them. If you plan to visit, I’d recommend going early in the morning. The car park near the main entrance fills up quickly, especially on weekends, and it can get busy later in the day. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and maybe a snack or two if you’re walking the full track. There are also a few beaches along the way if you want to stop for a swim or just relax by the water. Overall, Noosa National Park is a perfect blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and tranquility. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just want a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this place has it all. I can’t wait to go back — it’s the kind of spot that stays with you long after you leave.

Noosa National Park is absolutely stunning — easily one of the best coastal walks in the State. The track follows the cliffs with sweeping ocean views, turquoise coves, and shady sections through eucalyptus forest. The walk to Hell’s Gates is especially beautiful, and there are plenty of spots to stop for photos or a quiet break. Perfect mix of accessibility and wild natural beauty.

The coastal walk at Noosa National Park is absolutely stunning. The scenery changes constantly along the way — from sparkling beaches to rugged cliffs and lush bushland — so there’s always something beautiful to look at. It’s definitely doable, though you’ll want to be at least a little bit fit, especially if you’re planning to walk the whole track. I’d highly recommend doing the full coastal walk if you have the time. It’s roughly 10 km return (give or take depending on where you start), and every step is worth it. A truly spectacular experience. 🌊🌿✨

I would have rated this place 5 stars for the scenery and the very well maintained toilets and walking tracks, but it’s INCREDIBLY, AWFULLY CROWDED!! I’ve seen less people in shopping centres than here. And the parking situation SUCKS!!!!! We were lucky enough to get a park in a side street nearby-ish, but I saw a lot of vehicles do the round trip between the roundabout on Hastings Street and the NP car park, with no success. On the coastal track there were heaps of people, and a fair few runners dodging the walkers, which can be annoying for both. We also walked the Tanglewood track, and that was a completely different experience. Very few people, and some nice rainforest sections. Unfortunately the signage left a lot to be desired and twice we ended up on a maintenance track by mistake. If you’re in Noosa, it’s worth a look but I would not recommend making a special trip here unless you’re into riding a longboard. The surf was pretty good, if you’re willing to get up early or walk a mile or two to get to the beach.

An incredible place with stunning coastal walks and picturesque beaches like Fairy Pools. The trails are well-maintained, offering amazing views. Just be aware that finding parking can be a real challenge, so plan to arrive very early or consider walking from Hastings Street to avoid the hassle. It's a must-visit, but the parking situation requires some strategic thinking!

Noosa Main Beach is stunning—clear water, perfect waves, and surprisingly uncrowded. Ideal for a swim or surf, with a great selection of cafes and restaurants just steps away. One of the best spots on the coast for a relaxed day out.

Great place to visit. This is an excellent beach with beautiful restaurants, bakeries, cafes, souvenir shops and more. There are clean wash room facilities on the beach area. Parking can be difficult/very limited on busy days.

Great boardwalk and great views! Best on a weekday, weekends might be too busy I think 🤔. Pretty hard to get a park anywhere here though, so you might have to walk to it from afar like I had to.

Stunning sunrise views, very crowded and feels lively. Very clean facilities and includes water refills which are frequently cleaned which was nice. One of, if not the best beaches on the coast.

Noosa Heads Main Beach is the kind of beach that makes you believe you’ve accidentally wandered onto a postcard. Crystal-clear water, golden sand, and waves gentle enough that even the ocean seems to be in a good mood. It’s perfect for literally everything — tanning, swimming, floating around pretending you’re in a movie, or just sitting there staring at the view like it’s therapy (because honestly, it is). The vibe is relaxed, the people are lovely, and the whole place just radiates holiday energy. Whether you’re grabbing a bite on Hastings Street between swims or watching the sun melt into the water, Main Beach always hits. It’s clean, beautiful, and somehow makes you forget every problem you’ve ever had. The only downside? The sheer volume of people. At peak times it feels like half of Australia had the exact same idea — but honestly, when a beach is this stunning, can you even blame them? If paradise had a postcode, it would be Noosa. 🌞🏖️

Beautiful, Relaxing, and Perfect for Everyone! Noosa Main Beach is one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. The water is calm and crystal clear—perfect for swimming, even for kids. The sand is soft and clean, and the beach is very well-maintained. I also loved how close it is to Hastings Street, with so many cafes, restaurants, and shops just a short walk away. It can get a bit crowded during peak times, and parking is limited, so come early if you can. But overall, it’s a stunning spot to relax, swim, surf, or just enjoy the sunshine. Highly recommended if you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast!

So beautiful, and clean! water is perfect

Nice shops, great restaurants and cafes. And great place to see and be seen, window (or real) shopping. People watching. Not easy to find parking, you need to be lucky.

Must visit! Heaps of restaurants, Cafes and stores, it has it all!

Great shopping street one block off the beach. There are two free parking lots and one paid parking lot two blocks off the beach.

Many nice and beautiful shops adorning the streets left and right. Plenty of parking areas. There's a number of eateries like restaurant and food court along the street. Plenty of seats too. Nice ambience and clean area. The shops sell stuff a bit on the high side probably because a lot of landed properties surrounding the area. Good vibes though.

Great shops, nice vibe, vacation atmosphere

One of my favourite places to visit for a holiday

Nicest street in Sunshine Coast.

Best market I've been to. Just so much stuff, something for everyone. Bought beard balm, jewellery, food, ice cream, candles... If you're staying near Noosa you need to check this out!

Love, love, love this market and it met my expectations and more. It's filled with produce showcasing local talent. A great place to pick up unique pieces you won't find anywhere else. You can easily spend the whole morning here, wondering through the many stalls, live music playing and plenty of choices to eat. Parking is easy and reasonably priced at just over $9. One of my favourite stalls was the stone mason. Beautiful garden ornaments at very reasonable prices. Photos of these and a few other favourites.

Such a great market; the vibes and people are amazing, so friendly, with so much variety. And a market that is open on a Wednesday is pretty cool. It's our 2nd time here and we will be returning again it's over a 3 hour drive but it's such a great day out with the family.

Eumundi Markets offer a vibrant experience with a fantastic array of food, local produce, arts, and crafts. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it perfect for a day out. A must-visit for anyone looking for unique finds and tasty bites!

The Eumundi Markets were fantastic — such a vibrant atmosphere with an amazing variety of stalls. Everything was clean, well organised, and so enjoyable to wander through. From handmade goods to fresh food and unique local finds, there’s something for everyone. A perfect way to spend a morning, and absolutely worth the visit. 🌿🛍️✨

Loved going to the market on Wednesday. There was everything there from food to clothing, to jewelry and other amazing souvenirs. The environment was lovely and could have spent so much longer there but I don't think my bank account would allow it 😅. All of the stalls I went to accepted card but I did carry some cash with me. Loved the experience and definitely recommend a visit 💕

Always so good to spend a day at Eumundi markets. So much variety, good food and nice vibes. Would recommend the Sando place for japanese styled sandwiches and the juice spot

Busy, with lots of things for kids - not that we had any with us. We didn't do any tours, but walked around the established gardens, had a good ice cream cup at a quiet picnic table. A few decently priced gift shops with interesting items. Don't buy nuts in the Factory shop, but go across the road to the Nut Factory. Lots of electric car chargers, toilets for adults and kids.

We arrived at 9:30am and purchased tickets for the 10am Ginger Factory Tour and the 11am Live Bee Show. The taste testing was incredible — Kathy and Erin were both so knowledgeable and engaging! The rainbow umbrella walk was absolutely stunning, and the “Boat Around the World” ride was wonderfully interactive with great displays that kept everyone entertained. Lunch at the Ginger Kitchen came out quickly, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Afterward, we did the Zog Rainforest Walk, where we even met a real-life Zog! The train ride was a lovely way to finish exploring the grounds — it really showed how well-maintained the gardens are and gave us a chance to spot some local wildlife. Before heading home, we stopped for gelato at the Gelato Bar (delicious!) and browsed through the gift shop. Overall, a fantastic day out for all ages — fun, educational, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend! 🌿🍯🚂

Fun day had by all the family. Such a chilled day. Adored the colourful umbrellas , took some great pics. Everyone had fun on the interactive Zog trail. Free to enter was a pleasant surprise, we happily paid for the train and boat rides which the grandkids loved .

We’ve only visited the Ginger Factory once so far, but I’m 100% sure it won’t be our last time. We had tickets for the train and the boat but didn’t purchase any extras, and it was still a memorable and fantastic day with my little one. Next time, we’ll definitely try some of the additional activities.

It’s valuable experience, learned lot about ginger and how it’s made, history of Australian 1st ginger factory and their transition. Really good for children who want know about the history of ginger in australia. And honey bees, it was good educational talk and the way bees are working, those are really memorable.

What an amazing experience for kids and adults alike. We didn't do the factory tour, so I can't comment on that. But my kids enjoyed the boat ride and the train ride. There so much to do. Playground, bouncy castle, a nice forest walk, even an umbrella walk. The ginger Gelato was delicious and so was the ginger beer. My 3 year old was crying cause he didn't want it go home after 2 hours. Definitely could have spent half a day there, but the park was closing. The only criticisms and what is preventing me in giving 5 stars would be, if you say you close at 5, why end the boat rides at 4, the train ride at 4:30 and the coffee shops by 4:30 as well. Just say you're open til 4:30. We came at 3, thinking we had 2 hours, instead we were "ushered out the door" by 4:30, with a staff member jokingly saying, "oh, you're still here? We would have come earlier had we known

Lovely little place! The nuts were delicious and we were given plenty of samples to try and information about the different products. You can take a sneak peak into the factory and one of the workers even gave us a sample of the day’s nut.

I love it here, great nuts! 😁, so many flavours. A few other products from the region too. This trip I bought some lovley Macadamia oil 😉👍🏻

Great range, friendly staff, and a fun macadamia experience. Nutworks was a delight easy to find and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The store offers a fantastic variety of nuts, chocolates, and local treats, all at reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the overall vibe was relaxed and inviting. You can also visit the adjacent Ginger Factory, making it a perfect double stop for food lovers. One of the highlights is watching live demonstrations of macadamias being processed fascinating and fun for all ages

Definitely worth checking out if you head to the ginger factory as it is just across the road. They have alot of products to taste. Unique flavours and options to suit all! Can all see a small section of the production factory.

Nutworks is just a walk across Pioneer road from Ginger Factory.It has a wide range of roasted macadamia flavoured nuts and chocs. Shop is well presented, clean with friendly staff. It has a wide range of macadamia products with different blend of spices. Worth a visit. Thank you for the free tasting.

What a lovely spot to visit if you like macadamias. The staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend trying a few samples to indentify your favourites. Lots of flavours to try and share with friends.

Immersive; got to see machines through window. Nice staff. Nut tastings. That's in really in and out im 15m.

A free to enter spot in the Sunshine Coast area with a view of the beach, ocean, and the town from a distance. Free parking spots (very limited though) close by and a quick walk from the parking area to the little lighthouse. Toilets are available as well, and a few benches scattered throughout the area to soak up the sun, quite atmosphere, and the beautiful scenery.

A very nice view from the light house area but very limited number of car parking spots.

Absolutely stunning spot! Point Cartwright Lighthouse offers one of the best coastal views on the Sunshine Coast. The short walk up is easy and well-paved, and once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Mooloolaba, the ocean, and even whales during the migration season if you’re lucky! 🐋 The area is perfect for a quiet sunset stroll, a picnic, or just relaxing while listening to the waves crash against the rocks below. There’s plenty of parking nearby and good spots to sit and unwind. Definitely worth a visit if you love photography, nature, or simply breathtaking views. 🌅

We went to Point Cartwright today on a low tide, so we could check out thr foreshore and rock pools. The carpwrk nesr the Lighthouse is small, so parked down on the Mooloolaba Passage. A nice easy walk around to the ocean side. We loved the ocean mural on the water reservoir up top also. Tye Passage was nive to swim in, as the ocean side was a little windy woth big waves. A bit much for my young kids. Recommend heading up on a low tide to make the most of looking through the rock pools.

Beautiful spot. A little overgrown but the shots were still good. Great place to get some sunset shots.

A gorgeous place to watch the sunrise, the water tower is prettily painted too

Easily one of my favorite places to visit. It’s really close to home and I think it’s a great place to be whether on the beach/grass/or up on the esplanade!

Great atmosphere. Beautiful beaches. Lots of eateries. Over priced ladies clothing shops. ( cheap clothing, noosa prices) A relaxing day out.

Nice white sand beach 🏖️ and many excellent food options, so foodies will love this place around

Beautiful beach but ko'd a star cos the works going on made it a pain in the arse to access , didn't hang around long cos we were only out exploring the local area and didn't bring sun protection.

Mooloolaba beach has always been a beautiful beach. Playgrounds for kids. Great shower and toilet facilities. Great Surf Lifesavers patrol the beach. Swim between the flags.

Beautiful beach and Esplanade for shopping. Really nice accommodation at the Newport.

Wonderful beach ⛱️ Really enjoyed the experience here 😃

Awesome Aquarium, very focused on wildlife knowledge and how to care for the environment. Our son loved it, and was frothing from start to finish. The seal show was awesome, and loved the tunnels with sharks, days and fish. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very well priced experience. Book online early to get discount tickets but either way is a great day out for the family

Great experience at the aquarium! We saw all of the displays, heard a talk about the penguins 🐧 & saw a seal show! As two students the tickets were affordable and the experience was worth while! Not sure how great the venue would be for repeat visits but it was an excellent and highly recommended spot for a day trip while in Moolooaba. The seal shows were at 10:30 and 12:30 from memory, this may vary day to day. Lovely staff and good vibes all around:)

Absolutely adore coming here! I finally managed to go for the amazing animal crossing event and it was better than I imagined! I thoroughly enjoyed the little stamp ralley and best of all, meeting Isabelle! It was genuinely one of the sweetest things ever and I gave her a drawing as a gift and token of my appreciation! Your staff were also fantastic today, big shoutout to Tiffany who we had a lovely chat to for ages and I think Ruth who was with Isabelle! You guys made this experience so amazing and I love what you do! 💜

The admission prices are reasonable. But if you book days in advance they are cheaper. We paid an extra $15 per person for the Behind-the-Scenes Tour I loved seeing all the animals. There was an adorable baby penguin and a fun hands-on section where we got to touch some marine life. Walking through the underwater tunnels was definitely a highlight, it felt like being surrounded by the ocean — though it was crowded at times. The Behind-the-Scenes Tour was a great experience. We saw how they house for injured animals and protect local marine life. There were three green sea turtles recovering, and we got to look down into the big pool above the tunnels — seeing the sharks and other animals swimming below was amazing. The seal show was light-hearted and fun, especially Ruby, a playful five-year-old seal. She was absolutely adorable! In total, we saw three seals during the show. The café, which had some food options — mainly small snacks and pies. So, don’t expect a full meal there. The only downside was, the Behind-the-Scenes Tour felt a little short, and unfortunately, no photos or videos were allowed during it. A wonderful experience and perfect would definitely come back again!!

Was here 20 years ago as a kid, now back again as an adult. Still as incredible as ever! That said I miss the 2006 Jeep Fishtank. In where the engine was the filter system. Pretty mad lol.

2nd time visiting in 7 years, both times just me and my husband. We enjoyed it just as much this time as we did the first. They have some shows during the day so if you are into these, be sure to check the schedule. If you aren't, and you like it a little less busy, then go when everyone is at the show, its a lot quieter.

Most excellent experience. Marvellous guides (Lucy and Alice). Lovely animals. Interesting and educational facility. Did the behind the scenes tour with Seals, Penguins, and Sea Turtles. Very interactive. Also very interesting to hear and see how the programs are put together and animals cared for.

It has a lot of variety, e.g. mini golf, sideshow alley, rides, etc. Able to look online each day and see what rides are shut. It's not clear online that seniors can get discounted entry. Great party area for birthdays. The staff are wonderful with the children and so friendly. Having the hotel out front gives extra meal options.

We all had a great day at Aussie World. The kids got to ride all the rides without to long of a wait which is amazing. Nicola on the games area was great. Mini golf was great and to wrap it off the weather was good

Ill give a 5 stars. We had a fantastic day at Aussie World. My kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The lines were short. My kids were tall enough to go on almost everything. We stayed from opening to close and ticked off almost everything in the park, with doing some rides more than once. All the staff were friendly and the facility was tidy and clean. Was a great little family day out. Fairly priced.

The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly. Only disappointment was a lot of the rides weren't working. When you pay full price, then you'd expect to ride all the rides right? Or get a discounted entry. The illusion room was so much fun and miss professor was quite funny and entertaining. Most of the rides that were working was great, the kids had fun and that's the main thing. Great day packed with fun and laughter.

Aussie world is certainly under appreciated! When we arrived we were greeted with smiling faces, clowns and good vibes. The kids big and small had a blast! We will definitely be back. Aussie world your website doesnt do your park justice! More social media and advertising would spread the fun, excitement and share just how awesome you are!

We had an awesome time at Aussie World! Rides for all heights, friendly staff, and tons of fun to be had. We stayed for the whole day to make the most of it. Definitely recommend as a fun family day out.

My 5 yr old granddaughter had an absolute ball she loved everything. Your park is better than any Gold Coast theme park, we will definitely recommend Aussie World to all our friends and come back.

Spent the entire day there! Great place to just breathe and take in all the wonders of the animal world. Very well set up and run by the happiest people on earth. Highly recommend everyone to visit. Incredible display of the Irwin families private collections. Roberts photography is amazing to see (and buy)! Fantastic day!

Lovely zoo, and very well maintained. Grounds are well looked after and lots of thought has been put into it's landscape and architecture. Staff are very friendly, amenities are clean. There is a shuttle bus between areas of the zoo but it is a nice walk around the place on flat terrain. Bring lots of water and wesr comfortable shoes to enjoy the day out. Various shows on throughout the day for entertainment and educational promotion. Plenty of parking.

​Australia Zoo truly lives up to its reputation as a wildlife experience, blending spectacular animal encounters with a passionate and powerful message of conservation that honors Steve Irwin's legacy. It's an absolutely brilliant day out for the family, offering genuinely close-up views of iconic Australian and international animals. ​The zoo is expansive, requiring a full day if not a bit more to explore, and there is plenty to look at and do. Including engaging live shows / talks that are both educational and highly entertaining. The dedication to wildlife preservation is evident at every turn—from the exhibits to the staff's enthusiasm—making you feel like your ticket contributes directly to a worthy cause. ​Unfortunately, the day ended on a sour note that prevents a perfect 5-star rating, related entirely to the closing procedure. There was no clear announcement or warning about the zoo closing soon, which left us scrambling to reach the exit shuttle. ​A staff member was directing everyone onto the shuttle to return to the exit. When two members of our group fell slightly behind (less than a minute), the staff member refused to hold the shuttle for them, stating abruptly that "They will have to turn around and walk back." Given the sheer size of the grounds, forcing paying guests—especially families to split up and a young child —to undertake a significant walk due to a lack of notice and an unwillingness to wait moments for their companions is unacceptable and directly contradicts the friendly atmosphere cultivated throughout the rest of the day. ​While I hope this was an isolated incident of poor judgment from one individual, it was a disappointing final memory on our first visit. ​A world-class zoo and a must-visit for anyone in Queensland.

Amazing experience! Very huge park with professional staff and experienced people who take care of all the animals there. You have the feeling, that they know exactly what to do and that they treat the animals well. Relaxed atmosphere and a huge variation of different animals there. It’s not just a regular average Zoo. It’s a huge animal adventure park. It’s hard to explore everything in just one day.

Australia Zoo offers a memorable and well-designed wildlife experience that caters to all ages. The layout is spacious and easy to navigate, with a wide variety of animals—from kangaroos and koalas to tigers, elephants, and crocodiles. Each exhibit feels thoughtfully arranged, giving visitors a close, engaging look at the animals while still prioritizing their welfare. The live shows are one of the highlights, especially the Wildlife Warriors show where you can see birds of prey, snakes, and crocodiles up close. The presentations are informative without feeling too heavy, and they reflect the conservation message that the Irwin family is known for. Staff throughout the zoo are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the animals. With well-maintained facilities, plenty of rest areas, and a clean environment, Australia Zoo is a comfortable place to spend a full day. Whether you’re interested in learning more about Australian wildlife or simply enjoying a family outing, the experience is consistently enjoyable and well worth the visit.

What a wonderful zoo! I felt good about the care the animals received and how many were rescues. The zookeepers really seem to care. Feeding and petting free roaming kangaroos was sooo cool. And they only charge $3 for a good size bag of food for them. A very cool experience.

So incredible!!! Absolutely loved the zoo, animals are clearly cared for. Its massive!! Definitely need comfy shoes, and some drinks. Will take a few hours to get through. Loved the show and the energy, staff are great. Was very enjoyable!! Food is standard with typical “zoo food”.

Totally in love with Brisbane River. The views is incredible, makes Brisbane CBD a beautiful world class city. Beautiful views along the riverside with the city skyline and beautiful residential. Regular ferries with friendly crew on board. Worth getting on and off the ferries to explore riverbank. The river winds through the city, you can travel via city cat along the river. There are plenty of places to explore with restaurants and cafes. Also a beautiful place to have a night walk, the river looks amazing during the night. Brisbane city is awesome place yo live and visit. Highly recommend a river cruise. From Penang Malaysia

The river has so many fantastic areas we have frequented regularly, from the sandy beach at Comslie, Bulimba, New Farm Park, the city, Riverside walkway, Gardens Point and Southbank. The bike and walking tracks are great. We now live on the river at Karana Downs, where the experience is very different and just as delightful. Trees, abundant bird life, great natural parks, from Barellan Point, Colleges Crossing, to the weir and Kholo Gardens. I've posted a few photos, starting from our place.

We took a CityCat ride from the North Quay terminal up to Bulimba and then back to South Bank. It was a beautiful boat ride along the Brisbane River, and it was definitely worth checking out. You will need a Translink GoCard to take the CityCat ride.

We visited in late December and enjoyed exploring the river by cruising on the Rivercat ferry. There are so many lovely areas to visit along the river, from beautiful open parkland areas to bustling restaurant and arts precincts. It is worth getting on and off the ferries to explore the riverbank. The most enjoyable part of exploring the river is the two hour trip downstream from Southbank to Hamilton and return. A great way to get a good perspective of Brisbane.

This river is nice. But I had a very strange dream about it. I had walked towards it and asked it a few questions. But my murky reflection in the brown water swore at me very harshly. Then I cried. When I woke up, I was so confused.

We visited Brisbane in June this year. We caught a boat to cruise the Brisbane River. The delightful views of Brisbane City Skylines made us truly happy indeed.

Brisbane River, river in southeastern Queensland, Australia. It rises in the Brisbane-Cooyar ranges and flows some 215 miles southeasterly and northeasterly through a farming and dairying region, then through the city of Brisbane to Moreton Bay. Its navigable for steamers below Brisbane and for small craft below Ipswich. With Ferry service. Historically, several catastrophic floods of the Brisbane River have occurred, notably in 1893 and 1974. Heavy rains in early 2011 caused the river to flood and to inundate several riverside communities, including large portions of Brisbane.

Went on the " Morning Tea" Pumistone Passage cruise today with Ferryman Cruises. Since the new owners Mike and Jeannine have taken over, they certainly have improved the standards and service. We had a lovely 2 hr cruise today, left on time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Skipper Ivan gave a well informed commentary during the cruise, weather was cloudy, but still warm enough to spent our time up top. Our stewardess Nicole provided us with coffee, scones and friendly service. We're long time residents of Bribie, have cruised the Passage many times in several different boats owned by us, but this was far more relaxing having everything taken care of . We would certainly recommend this cruise to locals and visitors alike. It's excellent value for money, both Skipper Ivan and stewardess Nicole did a wonderful job and we'll certainly be back again. Highly recommended.

Had a great time on the lunch time cruise with our skipper being Ivan and our host Stacie. So relaxing cruising even though it was a little windy did not even notice it when on board. Great way to see the waterways of Bribie. Thank you for you care concern and hospitality. Many Thanks

The lunch time crew were fun & friendly. The food was great. Cold meats and fresh salads and freshly baked bread. It's well worth the time and money. We had a great day. I'm celiac and they catered for me too. Would highly recommend doing this.

We all had a fantastic day 😀 the stuff were absolutely fantastic 👏 👌 and the trip all round was really enjoyable with a very delicious morning tea with the most freshest and delicious 😋 scones with fresh cream and jam and butter with a nice cuppa and some history of bribie, would absolutely recommend for a wonderful time, the skipper makes sure to bring u right up as close as they can to the dolphins we truly enjoy the morning 🌄 💯👌✨️

A fantastic birthday gift from my daughter, hubby & kids. What a great evening and with a cloudy afternoon a superb sunset over Glasshouse Mountains and some great photos. Thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Highly recommend.

Did the morning tea ferryman cruise at 10am - 12noon cost was $39 pp + charges $82.68. The captain and 1st mate were terrific, very helpful and friendly. Clean boat with plenty of reasonably comfy seats undercover as well as bench style open air upstairs. Morning tea was delicious, 2 large freshly baked scones with jam and cream with a choice of tea or coffee. There were scones left over so we were offered another. Captain gives commentary up the passage. Nice views of the Glasshouse Mountains. We did the trip at low tide which in my opinion was a good time to go. The passage sandbars were exposed so there were quite a few birds to see eg godwits, cormorants, pelicans, sandpipers, spoonbills.Keep an eye out on waterway signals birds tend to sit on them, did see a beautiful osprey on one of them. There were dugongs but they came up to the surface very quickly and went straight back down again the same with the green turtles making them impossible to really see. On our way back we saw 2 pair of bottle nose dolphins, they were a little easier to get a pic of. In an hour you make it half the way up the passage then turn around and cruise back. I did enjoy it but, the cruise but the scenery is the same all the way up the passage, lots of mangroves very monotonous. If it wasn’t for the sandbars with birds it would have been just a boat ride up the passage. After an hour I was ready to swim back to shore. If you can find a friend or hire a boat that might be a better way to see they passage at least you can pull up on shore along the way. I could only give it 3 stars, absolutely nothing to do with the service or staff only because the scenery was very monotonous. If you stand along any part of Bribie shoreline and look across the passage that what you will see all the way on the cruise. My husband thought it was worth 4 stars he said it’s what he expected.

What a great day we had. The skipper was excellent very informative & friendly also his helper was a very lovely girl. We went on the lunch cruise food was good. We would recommend this to others

Amazing captains lunch cruise. Staff were so friendly & very knowledgeable of the area & history. Lunch was so yum & so fresh. Drinks were perfectly chilled. Boat very clean. Perfect weather made for a Fabulous day. Thanks so much Ferryman cruises, can’t wait to come back💙

Had a very enjoyable lunch cruise yesterday. Great commentary from our captain and a delightful salad lunch served with a smile. Perfect weather was a bonus !!

SO hot, not a lot of shade. Excellent snorkelling around the shipwrecks, but be honest with yourself about how strong a swimmer you are.

Moreton Island is absolutely incredible. We spent hours snorkelling at the Tangalooma Reef and exploring the shipwrecks—such a unique experience. Driving over to Cape Moreton Lighthouse gave us some amazing views, and the whole island felt like an untouched paradise. Highly recommend visiting for a few days if you can!

Came with the one day trip 3 activities included. Directly purchased with resort website. The ticket includes food and beverages. Worth the money. But the day lounge was not much facilities. Recommend doing the snorkeling before the paddle/kayak

Too bad we arrived the beach after heavy rains otherwise I believed this serene long-stretched beach must be very beautiful with colorful water colors. Pictures were taken at noon time but the sky was so dark. The beach also had a wrecked house at the end fallen into the sea.

Good vacation for family on a tight number of days. Would recommend 2 nights at max and l plan activities like snorkelling, swimming quad bike. Most busy days are wed and sat. But given it’s busy also all activities would run unlike them being on maintainance on other non busy days so the fun of being there to explore is lost!!

This island is situated in the Moreton bay and approx. two hour journey by ferry from Brisbane main land. I visited this place in 2016. A beautiful creation of nature amidst turquoise water. The Ferry journey is itself enjoyable. You must not to forget carrying hat/ umbrella along with sun screen as on the deck the sun light is intense. We took a daylong package that includes pick up from our service apartment, , ferry journey, buffet lunch and several activities in the island like: kayaking, snorkeling, jeep drive, sand tobogganing. It was a wonderful tour along with my colleagues and we had one of the best tour guides. we got back to Brisbane in the evening.

Our day on Moreton Island was truly amazing, with the guided snorkel tour of the Tangalooma wrecks being a definite highlight. We were incredibly grateful to Kyle for fitting us in, allowing us to experience the stunning underwater world filled with aquatic wildlife. Our guide, Sydney, was excellent—knowledgeable, patient, and ensured our group felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. We saw so much incredible marine life, and it’s an experience we won't soon forget. While our direct experience with the tour team was fantastic, we did witness some restaurant staff at various island locations being rude to other guests. I want to be clear that this was not our personal experience with our tour or water sports team, who were nothing but friendly and helpful. However, it was noticeable and something I feel is worth mentioning. Despite this, the natural beauty and the exceptional snorkel tour made our visit worthwhile. We are already looking forward to returning to Moreton Island soon to explore more of what this beautiful place has to offer.

Great place to learn the history of Bribie island. The greetings from the moment we walked in from a very friendly lady/staff member who ensured we knew where even the basic bathrooms and debriefed us with the outline of the place, knowing we were newbies to the area. Very impressed with the whole experience. Thank you very much

A lovely free small museum full of lots of information and some artefacts recalling the history of Bribie Island. Periodical exhibitions of other things such as an art challenge exhibits or Da Vinci machines brought to life (currently). Right on the waterfront of Pumicestone Passage with beautiful calm waters and sandy beach. Air conditioned with a children's craft space and a unisex bathroom. Small gift shop. Parking adjacent and several eateries within easy walking distance and Brennan Park with a playground and good for picnics. Wheelchair friendly, including access ramp, bathroom and car parking.

The site was located next to the beach. Very well maintained and well presented. The receptionist was very friendly and welcomed us with a big smile. We had short and sweet time at the museum. It is free for all and opened on weekends too .

Loved it. Anything historical gets me in. This museum focuses on local history and points of interest. And it’s free!

There was an exhibition called "Bridging Now to Next" today. Unfortunately, I didn't participate in it. When I arrived, they were already packing up. When I entered, a tall man greeted me warmly. He asked me where I was from. He said that he had a friend who was also from Taiwan (or had been to Taiwan, because I heard that he traveled everywhere, and then learned martial arts (Kung Fu). Finally, I think he said that if I had any questions about the exhibition, I could ask him.

Wonderful, open until 3pm Sunday🌞🌞

Very interesting staff all friendly & helpful. Went to see Wildflowering by Design which was good & stayed to watch one of the movies 50 minutes. You just select your choice. Ian Fairweather the Artist who lived on Bribie & sold his works all over the world. Well worth a look.

I did the Tangalooma Adventure Day Pass for two days ($139), and it was an incredible experience. Definitely better value than the day tours if you’re comfortable using the equipment on your own. The pass includes 3 hours each of paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing (or overnight fishing). A $100 deposit per day is required, and an additional refundable CASH deposit per fishing rod if you go overnight. The snorkeling was a highlight. Saw 3 turtles and plenty of fish around the wrecks! A tip: speak to the staff beforehand and try to kayak with the current/tide, otherwise you’ll use up a lot of time and energy just getting to the snorkel spots. Some downsides would be service, you had to ask where to grab things as they were busy and the kayaks were heavy had to drag them down the beach and back up when we were done. Hard when you’ve kayaked for 1.5h+ Overall, an amazing, flexible way to enjoy everything Tangalooma has to offer!

A heartfelt thank you to the lifeguards for their professional rescue and care. Today, the small boat we rented became stuck near the shipwreck due to the anchoring spot and the influence of the current. The lifeguards arrived swiftly to rescue us, offering great comfort and encouragement. Most importantly, my two daughters said that the two lifeguard brothers were so sunny and handsome, and the sight of them diving freely into the water after a quick three-second count became an unforgettable moment of our trip. The way my daughters looked at the lifeguards was as if they were watching superstars. ❤️ Once again, thank you, and I offer my respect along with a five-star, highly recommended review.

Such a wonderful day out. Ferry comfortable & not a long trip. Snorkel dive was easy & stunning. Directions abit scrambled/confusing, however lots of friendly staff to help. Recommend to book a tour then you have $25 food & drink voucher. Good value.

Worst experience ever, we booked a tour for parasailing, we had one go at first, which charged us money, then the tour guide suggested that we go a second round and that it’ll be free of charge. After the experience, we went back to the counter and they tricked us and said they never said it was free and charged the second round even more expensive . These staff targets tourists, they are very smooth with their lie, probably not their first rodeo into doing this.

I will give those guys 10 out of 5 stars. Due to my inexperience and strong current near the wrecks our motor boat anchor was stuck to ship wrecks. Those guys came to rescue and dived to sort things out for us. They are polite , efficient and extremely helpful. We will not forget what they have done for us.

We did the shipwreck snorkelling tour.. very cool we saw some sea turtles and some wobbegongs which was awesome. Our guide Mick was perfect for our group (including my 8 and 11 yo boys one of which was not confident about snorkelling) and in the end was dragging almost the full group behind with the ring.. poor bloke lol :).. the entire water sports crew were great thankyou to everyone it was a wild experience 10/10 and we were topped off with an epic lightning storm shortly after getting back to land. I just wish I had taken some photos.

Did the open water refresher in the pool followed by a wreck dive. Instructor was very friendly, professional and supportive. The other three staff involved also great. After the pool work they topped up our tanks to allow a full wreck dive.

In Lovina, Bali to see dolphins we have to go to the middle of the sea and use a motorboat. But here, we are quiet and the dolphins will come. And we can feed them too. Amazing. The time is between 5.45 - 6.30

Beautiful Island to unwind! Staffs are friendly and helpful. I have a feedback on Senior Concession Discount. Subject: Feedback on Senior Concession Discounts To The Manager of Tangalooma Resort, I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the opportunity to visit Tangalooma, and while I truly enjoyed the experience, I would like to share a suggestion that I believe could make your services even more inclusive and appreciated by the community. I noticed that there is no available discount for all seniors, even those holding valid concession cards. As seniors have contributed so much to our society, it would be a great gesture of respect and support to offer them the same privileges other places provide, such as concession discounts. Many seniors are on fixed incomes, and a small discount can make a big difference for them. Providing this benefit would not only show care and consideration, but it could also encourage more seniors to visit and enjoy everything Tangalooma has to offer. Thank you for considering this feedback. I truly hope it helps in making your beautiful resort even more welcoming for everyone. Kind regards, Flordeliza Shone

Definitely don’t join the wild dolphin feeding—it’s not worth it and heavily oversold. You might end up with 2-3 people sharing one fish to feed a dolphin, meaning some people just pay to watch a dolphin for 5 seconds. Instead, you can observe from the pier for free without getting wet. They don't allow flash light on the beach but their photographers are using them, what a joke.

Great experience feeding the dolphins 🐬. There were quite a few. There were many people in the lines but seemed to flow nicely. If you don't want to participate in feeding the dolphins or have young ones that are nervous you can watch from closeby along the wharf. Very cool 😎

They did things rather differently this time. Not a fan of having to pay for this in order to stay for a later ferry time, but glad for the way the staff managed the situation to account for the changes in the wild dolphins. Only 4 showed up and they still accounted for the wellbeing of not overfeeding the dolphins and risking negative feelings from tourists who've paid for this. Well done guys!

Amazing place to visit but unfortunately don’t have time to stay and feed the dolphins :(

A-may-sing wild dolphins feeding experience at a very safe and secured spot on the sea shores. Close to ferry drop off. Complimentary with King deluxe room. We enjoyed their service and great staff. Clicked amazing pictures 📸 $35 for printout or $70 with digital/printout. A little extra on hands. But their level of effort is what we pay for. Great team work. Dedicated staff, very bold and courageous. Definitely, a lifetime experience feeding wild 🐬 dolphins.

The light show was great but had no music when I was there

Redcliffe is a lovely place..We started at the Rsl for lunch then went for a walk on the jetty..It was great to see all the teenagers enjoying themselves jumping into the water..Then over to Bee Gees Way..How great is it..There are statues of them and information galore..There is seating so you can watch the short movie..I'm amazed how they can have all this and it's not vandalised..Must be a fantastic community..Lots of lovely shops..There is a English fish and chip shop that we'll be returning to next year..I did get a ice cream in the Big kids ice creamery and some English lollies in the confectionery shop..I'll be back..

My wife and I live near Redcliffe and I have visited this 'walk through' tribute to the Bee Gees- many, many times. Great music, good spoken commentary. Excellent visuals, including video of the BG's performing. Well worth a visit. Nearly forgot - " it's a 100% Free Attraction!

If you’re an oldie like me and grew up with the BeeGees music then you’ll love this tribute walkway in Redcliffe, free access

Nice place for a walk and recommend to have a look in case you're in Brisbane. Close are trendy bars and caffes, we spend like half of the day there around.

My six-year-old daughter loves to listen to Bee Gees music, and thanks for having this place, we had knowledge about Bee Gees now.

What a beautiful experience! It is a nice remembrance wall.

Stopped in for lunch on the way home from a work meeting in the Sunshine Coast. Was easy to get to, easy to find a park, and easy to navigate to the Food Court and outside dining area where we decided on Thai food. Outside dining area was well lit, relatively peaceful and overall a good place to enjoy a meal.

Nice. Has almost everything. I can walk ny e scooter in with me. (some stores dont let me in with it though, kmart example) But security dont have a problem, which is great because sometimes I forget my padlock.

Not a great layout to get around. It has 3 wings and you have to walk back the way you came to get to the other wing. Poor variety of shops. Chermside is the better shopping centre on the North Side. Considering the growing population there needs to be more variety of clothing, sportswear, shoe shops.

Nice simple shopping centre but parking inside the centre is absolutely shocking. It's the hardest Westfield to get out of regardless of what time you try to exit. Just poorly placed exit points that are easily congested. Oh, also don't bother going to late night shopping here on Thursdays or Christmas late night shopping because the stores don't even bother staying open. Selection of food options are improving too. Otherwise a nice local place to go to as long as you park outside the centre.

Pay to park so I can pay to shop? Genius. Why stop there — maybe start charging for oxygen while you’re at it. Or better yet, set up toll booths to access the stores. And don’t forget pay toilets — might as well go all in. I wonder how your tenants feel knowing customers are cutting visits short just to dodge your parking fees. I know I do.

Great centre, always clean. However no longer relaxing to have a coffee when the ‘gifts for everyone’ kiosk is next door and playing with the remote control cars on their wooden store, very loud and annoying noise. Would understand when people want to look at it to purchase but constantly playing with it sounds like someone’s drilling close by.

Easy to get lost, place has improved. But overall a decent amount of shops. And fun for kids on holidays, probably need bigger stalls for more kids as some miss out. Clean, music some nights in the outdoor dining. Toilets need more cleaning regularly as the amount of people

We went at sunset to see the wild dolphins. The kids couldn't see them because a group of youths were blocking access to the jetty. So, we walked out on the rocks. Kids loved the rocks and water and missed the dolphins but still had a great time. Then they played with other kids in the playground until it was too dark to see.

The jetty is a great place to relax and have a quiet time staring at the ocean with a chance to have a good swim in a quiet beach and spot smiling dolphins. Apparently also a great spot for fishing. Probably the best sunset of the island.

An epic sunset on any clear night is a stunning experience at Amity Point jetty. Dolphins on sunset, sometimes pelicans and a load of people fishing. Reliable sunsets, safe and there's a small kiddies park with toilet block and netted swimming area. I'd get takeaway and sit at the tables and watch the sun go down.

Amazing little spot for some fishing, very relaxing

The scenery is beautiful and people there are very friendly. But at night, some people were extremely rude. They yelled, mocked others, tried to cut fishing lines, and called us idiots. Their behavior completely ruined the peaceful atmosphere!!!!

My experience of overnight fishing here: I stayed two nights at the camping site. On the first night, the people fishing on the jetty were cursing using mandarin. On the second night it got worse, they made comments about us using cheap rods, seemed to try cutting our lines and clearly wanted us to move on. It used to be a good overnight spot, but in my view it’s not anymore. They even threw their rubbish into the sea! Very disappointing.

A super spot. We visited on the first day of winter and the sun was out and the sky blue. The caravan park adds to the area keeping it green and giving it an open park like feeling. Lots of interesting things to see; the pelicans, the dolphins, the diving birds, people loading their boats, the dock to walk out, the beach to walk along. Very restful and out of the wind compared too the more wild east side of the island.

This beach is especially safe for all families because it has a relatively shadow lagoon with neither wave nor shark for the non swimmers to play with water. Perfect spot to view sunset.

5 stars 100% The beach is so beautiful 😍 like Instagram level it's insane But also in the water, it's like very easy and calm to relax in and also it was like not deep at all even If you go far in like at some points you can stand Very safe area wish I could go again!

A little bit disappointed, beautiful length of beach but we had trouble visiting it. The road was blocked.

Beautiful patrolled beach - kids had a ball. Ample parking. Good ice cream and coffee but lacking any more substantial food options currently

Nice beach, great for sunrises over the point. Very flat and wide, perfect for kicking a ball around.

An okay beach — I've seen worse, but definitely seen a lot better

Amazing water, whitsundays level. Perfect spot away from the crowds

It is peaceful, calm and not noticeable that other people are there. There is something to see and enjoy but it is the styling of the garden beds with colourful flowers that brings the whole display together. Congratulations to all concerned.

I really enjoyed my visit to Roma Street Parkland. It’s such a peaceful spot right in the middle of Brisbane — beautifully landscaped with colourful gardens, shady trees, and walking paths. Great place to unwind, have a picnic, or just enjoy the scenery. Everything was spotless and well cared for, and it’s super easy to get to from Roma Street Station. Definitely one of my favourite places in the city.

Absolutely beautiful place to go! Bit of a hike to get to the nicer parts of the parkland but it’s definitely worth it. Loved to sit and watch all the lizards run around and chase each other. I look forward to coming back here again :)

The best park I've seen in Australia. Compact, but diverse and spacious. Beautifully arranged, with incredible variety of plants, tasteful sections for practically everyone, from kids to seniors.

Now this is the place to go if you want to enjoy the outdoors highly recommend 10 out of 10 beautiful gardens, waterfalls, water fountains, even a little train to take you and your family around to see all the pretty flowers and trees etc... This is my new favourite place and I cannot wait to come here again. If you are ever in the area please make a day of it and enjoy as there is much to explore and dont forget to bring the whole family or just have a picnic and relax 😊 you won't be disappointed. Best thing ive experienced in a long time. Love, Love, Love ❤️

So beautiful and clean. Good space for bbq. Well maintained. Plenty of toilets around the park. My son loved the train ride and the playground

I had a wonderful time at Roma Street Parkland. Came with my toddler and he had loads so fun playing, lots a steps to walk and jump around. Took beautiful pictures. I’ll recommend this place for families, couples and even singles. Beautiful scenery.

The Gallery of Modern Art is truly inspiring! The exhibitions are diverse and well-curated, offering both international and local perspectives. The space is bright, open, and beautifully designed, making it enjoyable to explore at your own pace. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming for all ages. A must-visit in Brisbane!

Good place to visit on weekend going out. It was free to see art exhibitions. This is next normal art museum. And also near Queensland library . It is very nice area and enjoyable. I visited both. It took around 3 hours total . 10mins from Brisbane south station. I visited with my family. Quiet and quality arts . Also there are nice cafe. If you don’t like noisy place , here is calm and quiet and makes you feel relax and enjoyable.

Wonderful place to visit. Knowledgeable and friendly experts to guide you through individual sections of the gallery. A carefully selected art work both domestic and international. I particularly appreciate the indigenous artists creation, beautiful and meaningful. The cafe wasn't too bad either, delicious toasted sandwich with a bunch of different food to cater for different dietary requirements. Definitely, worth a visit here.

A truly beautiful art center — every floor has its own unique character and charm! It’s also incredibly family-friendly. The children’s area was wonderful, and Clare was exceptionally warm, friendly, and welcoming. Her bright smile and kindness made our visit such a joyful and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Loved this museum. Its big, not too busy and has wonderful exibitions! Plus its free. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. Def. kid friendly with a cafe + play area on the river if you need refreshments.

The curators managed to take such a familiar fairytale and present it in a way that was fresh, imaginative, and deeply immersive. From the delicate costumes and sparkling gowns to the intricate set designs that re-created iconic moments, every corner of the exhibition invited you to pause, look closer, and get swept up in the magic. What I loved most was how it balanced nostalgia with creativity. The exhibition wasn’t just about retelling the fairytale—it explored how Cinderella has been reinterpreted in different cultures and across different mediums, from paintings and fashion to film and pop culture. Walking through, it felt both whimsical and thought-provoking, reminding me how stories we grow up with continue to evolve and inspire. If you’re in Brisbane, this exhibition is an absolute must-see, whether you’re a lover of art, fairytales, or just want to experience a touch of enchantment.

The Gallery of Modern Art offers a wonderful chance to see the world through the eyes of different artists — a perfect place to slow down and reflect on life. What touched me most was an artwork tracing a family tree that reminded us that, thousands of years ago, we were all connected as one big family. It made me wonder — why do we still create so many divisions between races today?

Highlight: Beds are SO comfortable. Great location in the city. It’s a very old building, which on one hand is beautiful but on the other hand has some issues. Example: 2 of the 3 elevators were down during my stay. Example: some of the windows don’t open. The parking is unfortunately a huge hassle and pretty long walk (since the elevator is down). Their parking structure is shared to the public, so it’s very busy and hard to find a space.

A surprise birthday treat for me by my wife meant an evening composed of various events. We therefore needed some flexibility in order to meet with the different time schedules organised. Our first stop was the Treasury Hotel, with a plan to park earlier in the day as my wife had work commitments. Reception arranged an early book in which allowed the whole event to run with ease and the room was just what we required. It was classic splendour, a ceiling around 20 ft high with solid walls in a quiet location formed around a quadrangle or courtyard providing privacy and it ensured a good night's sleep for me. The neo Italian renaissance style was present in the hotel room construction also adding further grandeur to any occasion with support pillars and a ceiling utilising a classic beam structure. A great place to stay for any occasion.

My husband surprised me with a night away for my birthday. What an amazing beautiful Historical hotel. Absolutely stunning. The staff member who checked us in was lovely and friendly. The room was absolutely stunning. We had breakfast included and it was awesome. We also ordered dessert from room service menu and it was delicious. 100% recommend this hotel.

We had a good experience at the Treasury. We landed in Brisbane early in the morning and got to the hotel around 9am. They will hold your bags for you and bring them up to the room when it’s ready. They texted us that the room was ready well before the listed check-in time. The staff were friendly and professional. The hotel is nicely decorated and has a classic feel. The property has a gym, which was empty and opened until 10:00pm. Had a good selection of weights and cardio machines. The room itself was pretty standard. It came with a balcony overlooking the square, but we did not use it. The bathroom is also pretty spacious. There was an issue with a water leakage in the hotel itself, but staff took care of it quickly during the day. They also gave us complementary fruit! Which was nice. Overall the location, price, and value was great and I’d recommend the Treasury if you’re standing in CBD, Brisbane.

We had a wonderful stay at the Treasury Hotel Brisbane. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special thanks to the team at the front desk — my wife accidentally left a gift in the lobby, and they went out of their way to locate and return it to us quickly. That level of care really stood out. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of character, but it’s the people who made the experience memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brisbane.

Absolutely stunning historical hotel. If I was to stay in Brisbane again, I would definitely love to return. We had dinner in the restaurant 2 nights, and I have to say the Pizza was one of the best we have had. Breakfast was a good choice. Valet parking was ideal. Each and every staff member, no matter where in the hotel they worked, were lovely. Southbank was also in close proximity for wonderful evening walks. You would not be disappointed with a stay here at The Treasury Hotel, and I hope we can return one day for another stay.

Great location - easy walking distance to queen street mall and casino. Charming heritage hotel - little worn - but very clean. Staff were friendly and unassuming- any concerns were swiftly addressed which was lovely. Car park still a decent hike with no lift access, fire stairs might be a bit challenging for those with mobility issues Super quiet and even though lots of people walking down below (drunken shenanigans!) couldn’t hear anything from the suites.

We were in Brisbane for medical reasons and had had a rough few days. Catching the City Cat was just what we needed. Joseph in particular was incredibly kind and funny and brightened our day. The crew made a big effort to help people and have genuine conversations. I was so grateful and impressed. If you’re like me and think “I’ll wing it and do the whole loop” be aware it’s really long and goes for more than 2 hours!!

I was on the city cat on the way to the rugby The lady who announced the stops was amazing, with phrases like my gorgeous people, my lovies The world would be a better place if we all took a leaf out of her book Be nice it's free

City Cat Terminal South Bank like the other City Cat Terminal’s is great. Travelling to South Bank on a City Cat is the best option to get to South Bank. No hassle with parking, as well as riding on the Brisbane River. The staff are always helpful when notifications on the stop that’s approaching. Staff are helpful with any questions that you may have. Jump on a City Cat to South Bank and enjoy the ride.

Joseph & Camille both very lovely, professional & engaging. Treating all passengers with care & empathy. Making alot of people smile. Always love catching the city cat but some trips stand out for sure. Thanks for always being a great, friendly, affordable & reliable service

Bossy staff, only letting 8 people on the ferry at a time (although the ferry offered much more seats). We waited for half an hour and then still didn't get on the ferry, so we decided to take the bus instead. Bit disappointing. Place was clean though and offered enough seats in the waiting area.

Great trip on the river around the city. Nice new and clean stations, friendly staff, clean and tidy ferry's. BUT NO WAY TO BUY A TICKET. You've got services, crew on board, lighting and power just put in a kiosk where you can purchase a go card. Extremely frustrating when you are travelling from interstate. Failing that how about an app on ya fone

This is a review of the CityCats rather than this particular CityCat terminal- which is all much the same. Riding a CityCat is a must for any visitor to Brisbane and a surprisingly rewarding experience for locals. This is the ultimate way to see the variety of Brisbane lifestyle, buildings and landmarks in a relatively inexpensive and easy to use service. Depending on how much have, you can explore Brisbane from the quiet rescue residential area of St Lucia to the busy reaches of the Brisbane river around Hamilton. The CityCat is part of the TransLink network so you use your GoCard or [or it’s soon to be introduced Smart Ticketing] Simply tap on and ride the CityCat for the entire round trip. For example, if you get on at South Bank, go upstream to the University of Qld, stay on the boat and then go right to Hamilton, stay on the boat and return to South Bank. That round would trip will take about two hours and 40 minutes all up. The off-peak cost for an adult at the time of writing is $3.37. But you can jump on and off and off and if you get back on without an hour it is considered as a continuation of your journey for the one fare. The new generation of CityCats has a top deck that you ride on. Otherwise, the front or rear decks provide an exhilarating experience. Full details of the CityCats are at the TransLink website or the Translink app

The best place I’ve ever been to. The kind of place that makes your heart happy just by looking at nature. We went there when it was raining, and it was so beautiful that we couldn’t stop admiring the greenery. I absolutely loved this place and would love to visit again.

A very good place to view the entire Brisbane city. Super view from the watch tower. It is recommended to bring food on your own or there is a restaurant which has been and food items but costly. The parking looks free. But I need to check again. Rest everything is good. Nice place to relax. I went at night and the view was amazing. Feels like sitting in an aircraft and flying too close on top of a metropolitan city. I couldn't identify any locations on my first visit. But I liked it a lot. Using good binoculars are highly recommended on locations like this. Here I'm uploading some views from here during the night.

Amazing view of Brisbane, especially on a clear night when the city lights look incredible. It can get quite busy, but it’s totally worth it for the view. Great spot to just relax and take it all in.

The Mount Coo-tha summit lookout has sweeping views over Brisbane city. There's ample parking. The lookout is wheelchair ♿️ friendly. Next to the lookout is The Summit cafe and restaurant which is quite nice for a coffee ☕️ and sweet treat, breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Beautiful view of the Brisbane City! One of wonderful lookouts in Brisbane. Only downside to this place is that there are not many seats at the foyer to sit and enjoy the view.

A Breathtaking Oasis: Mount Cootha Review Tucked away in the heart of Brisbane, Mount Cootha is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

One of the famous spots to visit in Brisbane. This place is accessible with public transport. You can catch a bus here from the city. This is the place where you can see the views of Brisbane City from top. Nonetheless, there is not much to see besides the city views. The views might not be the best, but it is also because we came in the afternoon. Based on other reviews, it’s best to come here during sunrise or sunset to see a more breathtaking view of the city from top.

Great trip to Straddie. Staff are always friendly and happy, onboard cafe is great. Captain pointed out whales both on the trip out and on the way back, close enough that you could hear them blowing when they came up for air. I always go as a walk-on on the vehicle ferry as it takes longer than the passenger ferry.

I was a bit nervious about driving onto the barge at Cleveland in my my campervan. The team on Sealink were super helpfull and friendly and nothing was a problem. What a day it was. Beautifull one day perfect the next.

The staff are professional and friendly. There's a nice Cafe on board. Mainly, you can't get here without em, so what are you waiting for?

Very reliable and enjoyable return trip to Nth Stadbroke Island. The staff are friendly and accommodating as we had to change our booking at the last minute which was easy as a phone call. Thanks for the whales.

Visiting a friend and helping out. I have a lovely connection with the island over the last 50 or so years. And with your services,it makes that possible. Thankyou. Mark Mellor.

Excellent service!! Very easy to book and u can change ur booking through online or over the phone. The crew is very helpful .

What a great way to start a trip to Straddie. Once getting on board head up to the cafe, if sandwiches, pies, sausage rolls, coffees or a sneaky little pre-arrival beverage is your choice, Sealink offers a variety of food and beverage options, plenty of comfortable seating, and a welcoming space that makes you feel relaxed. Enjoy the spectacular views too!

Easy to reach using private or public transport from the QBD. The venue hosts different species not just koalas but also Kangaroos, crocodiles, reptiles, birds. For the welfare of animals koalas cannot be hugged but guests can pay more to see them closer and cuddle them with the supervision of staff. Everybody working seemed professional and committed to preserve the welfare of the animals. A bit pricy, but considering what you get it is still worth a visit.

A must-visit in Brisbane! Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is an amazing experience where you can get up close with koalas, kangaroos, and so many native Australian animals. The park is well-maintained, staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals are clearly well cared for. Loved the chance to see a koala up close and feed the kangaroos such a memorable experience for locals and visitors alike!

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a must-visit considering it's status as the world's first, oldest, and largest koala sanctuary in the world. It was truly a special experience seeing and interacting with the koalas and kangaroos up close especially in the huge free-roam area where the kangaroos were. The park is very well-maintained, with a number of other sections with a variety of other insects and animals. Definitely worth a visit if ever in Brisbane!

Is a fantastic place to visit, you can be with the Kanguru and give them a special food. if you pay a little more you can touch the koala for some minutes and take pretty nice pictures. The sanctuary space is beautiful with a very good structure, with birds, crocodile and more.

Amazing place to visit if you want to get up close and personal with Australia's (more friendly) wildlife. Got to feed Wallabies and kangaroos and saw loads more as well. Visited via the river cruise from the city and that was a great way to do it. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Brisbane.

Fantastic for the whole family. The owl encounter far exceeded my expectations. Leanne and the team have so much knowledge and really know how to respect the animals and also have them guided over in a way that they seemed to be genuinely having fun. Beautiful lay out, and the Koalas were so very special.

Excellent experience kangaroos can be fed. The Tasmanian Devil looks soft but look at those jaws and teeth. Koala are always good to watch. So is the Platypus we saw a central python as well as all the other birds and animals. Well worth the entry fee. You may want to get there early before the crowds come in we went on a week day and by lunch time there were people everywhere
