Itinerary

  • Brisbane Powerhouse

    Positioned on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, Brisbane Powerhouse was developed from a decommissioned power station. The original New Farm powerhouse, designed by architect Roy Rusden Ogg and commissioned by the newly formed Greater Brisbane City Council, went into service as the first council-operated power station built in Brisbane in June 1928.[2][3] Earlier power stations in Brisbane had been operated by private companies. The New Farm powerhouse supplied electricity for the whole tramway network. A total of 56 MW could be produced at 11 kV 3 phase. It also produced power and lighting loads for the suburbs of Yeerongpilly, Toowong and Ithaca.[4] As Brisbane grew, more suburbs drew their electrical power from the powerhouse. The commercial areas and older suburbs of Brisbane drew their electricity from a private power generating company called the City Electric and Light Company, whose powerhouses were located on the Bulimba Reach of the Brisbane River.

  • Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park

    The Kangaroo Point Cliffs were created by convicts mining the volcanic rock or ignimbrite or welded tuff which form the cliffs.[2] These lavas and pyroclastic rocks were deposited in the Triassic Period about 230 million years ago and filled an ancient river valley. These rocks were known as porphyry and later became known as the geological unit called the Brisbane tuff.[3] Records indicate that it was Captain Patrick Logan, commandant of the Moreton Bay penal settlement, who first opened a quarry to supply stone to his building works as early as 1826. Stone from the quarry was used to line parts of the Brisbane River with walls, for the Manly Boat Harbour and at the new Port of Brisbane. The quarry finally closed in 1976.[3]

  • Story Bridge

    The Story Bridgeis a heritage-listedsteel cantilever bridgespanning the Brisbane Riverthat carries vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the northern and the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is the longest cantilever bridgein Australia. The road across the bridge is named Bradfield Highway.

  • South Bank Parklands

    The South Bank Parklands, which were established on the former site of World Expo 88, are one of Brisbane's most popular tourist attractions. The parklands are home to many restaurants and cafés as well as landmarks such as the Queensland Conservatorium, the Wheel of Brisbane, the Nepalese Peace Pagoda, Streets Beach (a free man-made swimming area), and the Grand Arbour. Approximately 11,000,000 people visit the South Bank Parklands each year.[1]

    The Brisbane Botanic Gardens has a range of attractions featuring plants from different landscapes, including a tropical hothouse, a Japanese garden, an arid zone (plants from Central America and Africa), and a Pacific Island zone. The major exhibit is the 27-hectare (67-acre) display of native Australian plants (with emphasis on Queensland plants), featuring an artificial lagoon.

    1 hour

  • Mount Coot-Tha Summit Lookout

    Before the Moreton Bay penal settlement, Mount Coot-tha was the home of the Yugara Aboriginal people. The Aboriginal people came to the area to collect ku-ta, the Yugarabul word for honey that was produced by the native stingless bee. In 1839, surveyor James Warner and his team cleared the top of the mountain of all trees except one large eucalypt tree. Because this single tree could be seen from many other locations, it was used as a trigonometric station to take surveying measurements. This led to the mountain being called One Tree Hill. In 1873, the forests on the mountain were reserved declared a timber reserve to supply timber for Queensland's growing railway network. The name Coot-tha replaced the name One Tree Hill when the area was declared a park in August 1883. The name was suggested by Henry Wyatt Radford, the Clerk of the Queensland Legislative Council.

Great small group tour of Brisbane

Published on Mar, 2024

Tania was a wonderful driver/commentator/host. Everything that was on the Itinerary was covered thoroughly. She made sure that all the guests were comfortable and that their individual needs were accommodated. We would certainly go with her again and recommend the tour to anyone.

Fab Intro To Brisbane

Published on Feb, 2024

We have just done the highlights of Brisbane tour lead by Tania at BOS tours. This was a very enjoyable trip which i would recommend to anyone who wants to see the best of Brisbane lead by someone who actually grew up and lives here. Tania picked us up from our hotel in an air-conditioned mini bus and took us to see sights such as the Brisbane sign, the Story Bridge over the Brisbane river, Botanic Gardens (where we had a lovely lunch included in our booking), Brisbane Powerhouse in South Bank Parklands, Mount Coot-tha summit lookout and Kangaroo Point Cliffs park. Tania was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and flexible (she was able to vary our itinerary slightly today as we were a small group) to allow us to see St John's Anglian Cathedral instead of Pine Koala Sanctuary. There is simply no way we would have known about some of these places had we not have done this tour. Excellent value for money.
