The Very Best Water Tap On The Waterfront

Park

Kangaroo Point View

Park

👍👍 Top spot for a top view of Brisbane! Usually get a lot of tourists taking the star shot of the Cityscape here close to the rotunda at top of the cliffs. Theres plenty of picnic spots & barbecues above & below the cliffs. Can get very busy in the evenings & difficult to park

The Cream Track

Park

👍👍 This is now one of our favourite hikes in the local GC area. We went on a sunny dry morning, so no fear of slipping, although could definitely see it getting that way on a wet day.

Myola Court Reserve

Park

👍👍 Great place to cruise around in kayak. Also fishing isnt too bad. Saw a Big Roo jump in the water and swim across to the other side. Saw a big Red belly black finishing his early dip in the water. It's calm water and very peaceful.

Bruce Hurricane Falls

👍👍 Very Very difficult to get to. 12hrs plus with no track (multiday hike). Requires calling private property permission unless entering Limpinwood Nature Reserve from qld. but if you're looking for Yowies this is the spot.

BBQ picnic area

Park

👍👍 Love what they've finally done with this space after the floods damaged the restaurant and function centre. Open grass area and lots of seating with a perfect view of the city, right next to the playground.

Brighton Beach Foreshore

Park

👍👍 Very beautiful place although some people wouldn't say the same thing at low tide and the mud it exposes. It is a very long foreshore so it is a very easy place to find some where quiet to sit and relax.
