The thing that I thought was really handy in Brisbane is that they have the Museum, Art Gallery, and the major theatre all clustered together at the northern end of Southbank, which means that you can go and visit all of them in one day without having to wander all over the city. … More Queensland Cutural Centre – Art and Science of Queensland
I’m going to have to say that this is my home church whenever I go to Brisbane. Okay, I don’t go to Brisbane all that often, but whenever I do (a grand total of four times) I have always paid this church a visit and my experience has always been the same, which is probably why I keep on coming back (to this church, not Brisbane – the last time I was in Brisbane was back in 2008). Anyway, I first heard about St Andrew’s South Brisbane through a friend from a church that I regularly attended in Adelaide, which was generally how you would find out about churches back in the day, simply because you never knew what you were going to get when you walk in through the door (and I have walked into some absolute shockers). Actually, I don’t mind wandering into random churches because, depending on the church, you can have some very interesting experiences, but I must say that every time I have come here the experience has always been wonderful. … More St Andrews South Brisbane – A Friendly Queensland Church
The first thing that I noticed about this place was the River Destroyer sitting in the old dry dock. In fact it was on my first trip to Brisbane, after having lunch at a not very cheap cafe on the river bank and then deciding to cross the footbridge over the river to the CBD, that we (that is my brother and I) saw the destroyer sitting in what looked like an old dry dock. … More Queensland Maritime Museum – The Last River Destroyer
Actually, there are probably older railway workshops in Australia, but they have long since been closed down, which means that the Queensland Rail workshops in Ipswich would be the oldest operating railway workshop in Australia (it is just that the title to the blog was long enough as is to add the word ‘operating’). Anyway, as I am prone to do, I was looking at Ipswich on Google Maps when I discovered this railway museum. Since my brother loves trains, and I think they’re pretty cool myself, I decided to take him here when we visited Brisbane. … More Workshops Rail Museum – Australia’s Oldest Rail Workshop
Well, it has been about seven years since I was last in Brisbane, and since I have been to Sydney quite a number of times in the past couple of years I decided that I would go somewhere a little different. Mind you, I’ve never seen my football team (Port Power) play at the Gabba … More Exploring Brisvegas
