Famous Landmarks
South Bank

South Bank, redeveloped after the 1988 World Expo, is Brisbane's cultural and recreational precinct. Its white-sand artificial beach, Streets Beach, is the only inner-city man-made beach in Australia. The site also houses the Queensland Art Gallery, GOMA and the Wheel of Brisbane with skyline views.
Story Bridge
-27.4698°N, 153.0251°E
Story Bridge, completed in 1940, is a 777-metre cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River. Its steel architecture echoes the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with which it shares designer John Bradfield. Since 2005, the Story Bridge Adventure Climb has let visitors scale the arches for 360-degree views of the city, the Glass House Mountains and Moreton Bay.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Located 12 kilometres from Brisbane's centre, it is home to over 130 koalas and 100 Australian animal species. Visitors can cuddle a koala and hand-feed kangaroos and emus in a natural setting along the Brisbane River.
Why gift a star map of Brisbane?

The sky of Brisbane
At 27.5° south latitude, Brisbane's subtropical climate provides over 280 clear nights per year — a record for a major Australian city. Its position allows exceptional observation of the Milky Way's centre during southern winter. Mount Coot-tha, 7 kilometres from the centre, houses the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium founded in 1978.
