People Watch

Just because Australians speak English does not mean you will not notice cultural nuances.

People watching is great way to learn more about Brisbane and Australia.

You can see how people interact with each other and learn a lot about a culture just by taking notice of what is going on around you.

A great place to people watch is in The Valley (Fortitude Valley), which is Brisbane’s entertainment district.

Newfarm Park

When you want o enjoy lunch in a beautiful location, but don’t want to spend money eating out, you can visit Newfarm Park.

Pack a picnic and blanket and spend the day with your friends or family kicking around a soccer ball or just enjoying nature.

If you want an afternoon alone, grab a book and head over the park to enjoy the sunshine.

Queen Street Mall

If you are shopping, you will need money, but Queen Street Mall is also a great place to window shop.

You can find great local stores that sell unique items, gifts and clothing.

 Tour of the City

You can take a self-guided tour of Brisbane and learn all about the different places to see and different things to do.

Grab a map of the city and ask locals for the best kept secrets.

There is even free transportation.

You can get a map of the City Centre Free Loop Bus that circles the Central Business District every ten minutes.

You can stop at Queen Street Mall, City Botanical Gardens and other popular destinations.

If you didn’t get enough city viewing from the Centre Free Loop Bus, you can hop on the Spring Hill Free Loop Bus.

The Spring Hill Free Loop Bus connects with the Centre Free Loop Bus which will take you to many destinations including King Edward Park and Wickham Park.

What a great way to get a free tour of Brisbane!

This park has crystal blue lagoons, palm trees and white sand, which makes you feel like you are visiting a tropical paradise in the middle of the city.
