Plus, on a clear day you can see south-west to the distant ranges, east towards Moreton Bay and miles in every other direction. Enjoy the facilities of a cafe, restaurant and lookout at the top.

There are the cinemas, regular free live entertainment and many festivals and fireworks throughout the year.
The Cultural Centre

There's no need to leave the city to experience our amazing animals.
A trip on the river

Take a cruise up and down the river, stopping where ever you like along the way - South Bank, University of Queensland, New Farm... The CityCats glide over the water and you'll see million dollar houses. Travel under the Story Bridge and get a whole new perspective. Our ferry guide gives you more information.
