Riverfestival

posted by qswain on 5 August 2010 at 17:27

This festival is held every year in August and is great fun. Especially good is Riverfire, which is a 30 minute long firework and pyrotechnic display. The festival is a celebration of the Brisbane River and during the firework displays the reflections in the RIver are just beautiful.

Whale watching

posted by wbeard on 5 August 2010 at 17:16

I've always been obsessed with the idea of seeing whales in the wild and this opportunity didn't dissapoint. They have a purpose built boat with lots of viewing decks so that you can get the best possible view. There's a high chance that you'll get to see humpback whales as they're the species who are most comfortable with being on the surface.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

posted by lreiss on 5 August 2010 at 16:55

The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the oldest koala sanctuary in the world. It is also one of the few that allow you to hold the animals which is a lovely experience and controlled to ensure that its fair to the animals. There are also kangaroos, echidnas, Tazmanian devils and a diverse range of birdlife. A great outing for families

Southbank Parklands

posted by pmosser on 5 August 2010 at 16:51

The South Bank Parklands are the legacy of the 1988 world expo and aren't like any city parks I've ever seen. They have areas of cultivated rainforest and swampland. There is also a vast man made beach which is a great spot to cool off- especially if you're there at the height of summer. Another nice touch is the Nepalese peace pagoda.
