Gold Coast
Mt Tamborine (for wineries, bbq etc)
Lamington National Park

On the CityCat for the full round trip. Best way to see Brisbane!
The Pancake Manor!
Swiss Gourmet Deli at West End – sit outside for the passing West End scene.
Walk over the Goodwill Bridge to Southbank, swim at Southbank.
Shingle Inn for coffee and cake for the tradition.
City Cat to University of Qld, walk by the river.
Bike ride from Southbank along the river to Toowong or along the river at West End.
Cultural Centre: GOMA, Art Gallery etc.
Art galleries, cafes etc at Fortitude Valley/New Farm
Clayfield, Ascot for the beautiful old Queenslanders.
New Farm Park for the roses
Mt Cootha for the view
Morning walk through Southbank and over Goodwill Bridge, then visit Old Government House for William Robinson’s rainforest paintings. Admire huge fig tree in Gardens. Then down George St to Kurilpa Bridge for view of GoMA and State Library. Lunch or picnic at GoMA.
Chouquette for cake and coffee. Azafran Restaurant for dinner. Gold Coast and Southbank precinct for a day out. Don’t know where for shopping though…Brisbane is pretty boring in this regard. The city is especially embarrassing when shops don’t go beyond a single street!!
