Travel Guide

Brisbane, Australia! If you want to experience friendly locals who are happy to stop for a chat, then come and experience the river city. Climb the Story Bridge, chill out at one of the eateries along the river or take a city cat ride on the water. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Brisbane is about to welcome her Storm season. Last night was a brief but heavy downpour that blew quickly across the city. Leaving water puddles and reflections, Brisbane is always full of good looks. #stunningstructures
Visiting Brisbane in Queensland, Australia? Look no further to get a birds eye of the city and Heritage listed bridge than Wilson’s Outlook Reserve. Why not get a bit of exercise whilst you’re there with the training station and then take a seat on one of the benches to watch the passing Ferries and the wonderful sunsets. There is so much to do in Brisbane and this is just the start. Enjoy. #trovertips #australia #queensland #sunset
Brisbane's Story Bridge. The lights on the bridge change frequently to support causes that are relevant at the time. From Cancer Care to tonight's Orange in support of World Vision and the 40 Hour Famine. If you're coming through Brisbane, don't miss a visit to Wilsons Lookout and see for yourself what colour the lights will shine for you. #colourful
