3 Best Places To Visit in Brisbane, QLD

A fabulous little corner of bush in Fig Tree Pocket - you can get there by bus or by a ferry (not city ferries), or drive of course. Lone Pine is small enough to be cosy and relaxed, but big enough to have heaps of different Aussie animals and areas to explore. There are educational and entertaining shows throughout the day, and you can find the daily program online. The free flight raptor show is a must!!! You also have opportunities for getting a photo with some of your favourite animals. I highly recommend the All Stars tour, as that gives you glimpses behind the scenes with a knowledgeable guide. There was also just the right amount of food outlets inside the park, and also a coffee place outside that opens before the park, and so you can enjoy a cuppa while waiting for the park to open if you are early like I was. I have been visiting Lone Pine many times over a decade, and keep coming back. Thank you!

Wonderful sanctuary! Although there is plenty of parking, I'd suggest arriving early as it gets busy quickly. All staff are friendly and happy to help, nothing is too much. The sanctuary offers some experiences at an extra cost which are worth it, animals look well looked after. Lone Pine is pram friendly. I don't recall having any issues getting around with the pram. Would definitely recommend visiting. We really enjoyed our time there!

Great place to visit to see Koalas and other animals close up. Did the Koala experience where you get up close to the Koalas. Nice to see that they are looked after so well by the keepers and the public are only allowed to stroke their backs. Good value and wonderful for children.

It is one of the most beautiful parks I have ever seen. There are small puddles inside. It has become the natural habitat of water lilies and ducks. The varieties of trees and flowers are worth seeing. Various birds also visit such a natural environment and give a concert with their voices. I recommend you to stop and rest here while visiting the city.

I had been excited to visit the Iris ‘Magic’ Exhibition as soon as it was announced that GOMA would be hosting her designs. I had been following her socials for a while, in awe of her beautiful designs. They stood out to me. My breathe was taken and I held my hand to my heart as I navigated my way through the exhibition. Life changing. I purchased the Exhibition Book and went out and bought a sewing machine inspired by her creativity. A must see. As a Visual Art Teacher, I intend to expose them to her work to ensure the next generation is inspired to be creatve and follow their creatve hearts.

This truly is an exhibition not to be missed. Sculpting the Senses is an immersive experience showing Iris Van Herpen's work from inspiration to completion. The inclusion of botanical, scientific and collaborative artists work gives the viewer a deeper insight into the process of creation by this amazing artist. This is not just a "fashion" exhibition, rather a full sensory experience giving insight into a exceptional creative mind. The atelier gives a close up view of the creative process. It is a big exhibition well worth taking your time to fully experience having your senses sculptured. You won't regret it.

Beautifully presented exhibition! I had not planned to see this but was visiting Brisbane. I was impressed by how enjoyable it was even without an interest in fashion. I would recommend this to anyone who is curious and interested in something different.
