Explore the historical sights of Brisbane, Australia’s third largest city and Queensland’s capital, a visit to the iconic XXXX Brewery, and a relaxing river cruise.
From a trendy cafe club culture to thriving shops and 19th century sandstone buildings, Brisbane is one of the most intriguing cities in the world. Learn the secrets of the longest river in southeast Queensland, Brisbane River, which empties into Moreton Bay. History, convict stories, geography, lush vegetation, and beautiful homes are exposed along your informative cruise. The tour will make a stop at Southbank Parklands, a popular manmade beach where you can swim, sunbathe, and enjoy lunch and refreshments overlooking the river.
After lunch, you will head to Mt Coot-tha Lookout – for fabulous views of Brisbane and Moreton Bay, as well as a delightful cafe and kiosk. From here you will head to the historical XXXX Brewery. The XXXX brewery takes you through the 140+ year history of Queensland’s most famous brewery. You’ll learn all about your favorite brew, their world-class brewing methods, top quality ingredients, and, of course, how to pour the perfect XXXX. The tour finishes with a relaxing ride back to your accommodation.
