Brisbane CBD Aerial Photos
All Brisbane residents would agree that 'Brissie' is the most liveable city in Australia. The Brisbane River meanders round the city, giving both workers and residents glorious river views and breezes to keep the city cool. The Story Bridge, opened in 1940, and the Captain Cook Bridge, both make sweeping entrances to the Brisbane CBD, especially wonderful with the evening lights. Add to Description →
Brisbane CBD Information
The City Botanical Gardens are set on the bend of the Brisbane River, offering safe anchorage for many nautical visitors to this sub-tropical city. Brisbane offers a wide range of accommodation from guest houses to five star hotels, such as the Stamford Plaza and the Hilton Hotel.
Dominating the Brisbane CBD, these aerial photos show the two towers of Central Plaza, designed by the Japanese architect, Dr Kisho Kurokawa. The adjacent Riverside Centre and Eagle Street Pier hold fabulous Sunday Markets, the Mecca for bargain hunting locals.
A visit is not complete without crossing the Victoria Bridge, at the end of Queen Street, the major shopping precinct. South Bank offers a range of activities including swimming at the tropical lagoon, fine dining and joining in with the many local celebrations. It is also the cultural precinct with the Art Gallery, Modern Art Gallery, Queensland Performing Arts Centre and Queensland Museum. The Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre is only a step away and offers frequent exhibitions and conventions for Brisbane visitors.
