Story Bridge
The story bridge is the one of famous tourist attractions. “Story” Bridge? Any stories behind that. Actually, I don’t know there is any stories behind that. According to Wikipedia , the bridge is named for John Douglas Story. But there are somethings special. This bridge is a little brother of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Both are design by John Bradfield. Moreover, both are a huge steel structure! I like that, it looks cool! In addition, the river view in there is very pretty too!
Brisbane River
I think most cities built around water, either it is an ocean or a river. Our Brisbane City is around a river. The photo shows above is our Brisbane river. Though it doesn’t smell very nice. Queen Eiizabeth just paid a visit and the scene is great. At the city side around the river, there are some beautiful high-rise buildings.
Riverdale Park
Riverdale Park is a very quick and easy giveaway location for our Brisbane People. That is next to Logan Hospital, it is very easy to access!
Wetland @ Riverdale Park
I cannot image that is very close to Brisbane area. There some wetlan area, you even can go fishing in there!
Bushwalking
Not just that! You can bushwalk in there. When I was in there, I was thinking I were in outback of Australia!
Exercises
In addition, along the bushwalking track, you can do some exercises too!
A lot of people like there, our Church almost goes to there once every year!

Brisbane City Hall
I have traveled a few different cities in Australia, such as Sydney and Melbourne. Each of them is unique. Our Brisbane City is unique too! That is quite small, by comparing Sydney and Melbourne. However, that is still a “good” city. That is quieter than Sydney and Melbourne. Moreover, that sounds more well planned than Sydney. In addition, I love Brisbane city which is a good mixture of “old” and “new”.
Parliament House
That is somethings old, such as Parliament House.
Brisbane Square
On the hand, there are some modern buildings, such as Brisbane Square.
Those two kinds of buildings are standing at a same city, and they are living together in a harmony way.

Mount Coot- Tha Lookout
Brisbane is a beautiful city. The night view of Brisbane is like a pearl! Thus, if you visit Brisbane, you must visit Mount Coot-Tha Lookout! There is a best place to see the night of Brisbane. Moreover, that is free! You do not need to pay any entrance fee! You can stand at the lookout and enjoy the view of Brisbane City. But I recommend you go to the coffee shop and buy a cup of coffee cup. You can taste a cup of nice coffee and the beautiful scene.
StrawBerry Farm @ Plamview
In Australia, we got a large portion of agriculture area. We can escape from the urban city easily and go to a farm for enjoying a country life.
We went to a strawberry farm for that purpose few weeks ago. On that day, there was a sunny day(REMEMBER THE SUN PROTECTION!!!). We were enjoy to pick strawberries! I picked a whole box of strawberry( I think that is around a kg). All of them were very big and fresh! They costed around $10, that is bit expensive than supermarket. But they are fresher and picking strawberries is a kind of fun too!
Picking Strawberry
In addition, the farm has a picnic area. You can wash your strawberries and eat them in there too! That should be a good choice for family activities!
Picnic Area
That is around an hour driving distance from Brisbane. It should be a good choice of your getaway break during this weekend.

Point Danger Lighthouse
Point Danger is a tourist attraction I like. That is not very far from Brisbane. That is only around an hour driving distance from Brisbane. Actually, that is just next to Coolangatta, Gold Coast.
There is a very nice ocean view. In addition, there is a landmark style lighthouse. That is very cool!
If you visit Brisbane, that is good to visit Point Danger too!
Byron Bay
I went to Byron Bay a few weeks ago. I took a lot of nice photos in there. This is the photo I like most. This photo was taken in a beach near the light house at Byron Bay. It got a good mixture of sea, sun light and sea. I love it!!!
