Worth a trip if you want a good view of Brisbane area. Faces and restaurants are there. Nice motorbike ride up for the view and over the otherside

I travelled by the 471 bus from Wickham Terrace via Adelaide Street. The bus trip is very scenic particularly on the return journey downhill. Cash fares can be expensive so it's best to have a GoCard. The bus service appears very popular on the weekend. It passes the Botsnic Gardens on the way to Mount Coot-tha.

One of the best places in Brisbane to visit, and without doubt, THE best place to see Brisbane from above without leaving the ground.

You need good weather to come up here if you want to see anything. You can get here by bus easily and on a sunny Sunday you can enjoy the view and have brunch. There are walks/trails from the lookout and so you can have an excellent day out.

Beautiful view especially at sunset, but unfortunately the car park is always packed to the gunnels as is the observation deck.
