Description

Begin your shore excursion with a warm welcome from your driver just outside the cruise ship terminal. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle, embarking on a 3-hour journey through the scenic beauty of Australia.

Stop at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, a popular recreation spot, especially for climbing and running, conveniently close to the city and the South Bank Parklands. Next, visit the South Bank Parklands, located at South Bank within the suburb of South Brisbane in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The parkland, on the transformed site of Brisbane's World Expo 88, was officially opened to the public on 20 June 1992.

See the Story Bridge, a heritage-listed steel cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River that carries vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic between the northern and the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia.

Admire the Brisbane River, the longest river in South East Queensland, Australia, which flows through the city of Brisbane before emptying into Moreton Bay on the Coral Sea. John Oxley, the first European to explore the river, named it after the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane in 1823.

Visit the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, located on the grounds of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens in the suburb of Mount Coot-tha, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The Planetarium was officially opened on 24 May 1978.
