50 Things To Do In Brisbane That Feed Your Soul
"While church visits are more typical of itineraries features European cities like Porto and Stockholm, Brisbane’s Saint John’s Cathedral demands to be seen – if only by virtue of being the only existing building with a stone vaulted ceiling in the southern hemisphere. The cathedral is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register and was designed in the Gothic revival style, with the foundation stone laid in 1901. However, much like the Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals in the Middle Ages, the completion of the building design took place in stages over 100 years, and it was only finally completed in 2009."

"Perched above a lush park overlooking the Brisbane River, the beautiful Newstead House is Brisbane's oldest surviving residence, dating back to 1846. Where once it stood as a simple colonial Georgian cottage, home to Darling Downs pioneer Patrick Leslie, over the years it has grown to reflect the history of Brisbane, serving as a Botanic Institute, the first headquarters of the Royal Historical society of Queensland, and even acting as the living quarters for American service personnel during WWII. Today the homestead offers visitors a slice of Brisbane history, as it’s painted and furnished in the style of the late Victorian period."

10 Family Friendly Brisbane Walks
"The picnic grounds at J C Slaughter Falls are a great starting point from which to do a family bushwalk and explore the Mount Coot-tha Reserve. The easy Aboriginal Art Trail circuit is an easy, short walk, where you can see the falls and spot the rock paintings and other artwork along the way. Best of all though, is the Summit Track — a two-kilometre hike to the summit of Mount Coot-tha."
