“Ladies and gentleman, our plane is landing shortly.”
Indulging in the scenery outside the window, I was instantly pulled back to reality by the sound of the flight attendant broadcast, and quickly fastened my seat belt to prepare for landing. This is my second trip to Australia, and this is my second trip to Queensland, and I'm back again, and I didn't expect it to be more than three years later.
No matter how many countries I have traveled to and how many places I have visited, the ideal destination on my mind is still Australia, and this is my second time in Brisbane, the itinerary is not in a hurry, and finally I can stroll through Brisbane and experience the unique style of the city.
Unconsciously, you pass by several more classic locations in South Bank Park, which may be the reason for the weekend, there are not many tourists, and there is a little more tranquility in the park. I vaguely remember sitting on a ferris wheel when I first came, but this time I didn't join in the fun, I walked slowly along the park path, and I happened to meet a cute little cute who came out to forage.
Cross this bridge and come to the busiest part of the Brisbane CBD, which has many ancient buildings, such as this former Treasury building, which is an Italian Renaissance building, which belongs to the classic tourist punch card location.
In the square directly opposite the building, many people will sit here drinking coffee and basking in the sun, the "big ball ball" on the square does not know what the meaning is, but it is really cute, I also ran to the coffee shop next to buy a cup of coffee, sat down to rest and take a few photos.
If you're new to Brisbane, we recommend that you definitely check out Queen Street, a popular shopping street, Brisbane's mild climate makes shopping at the open-air weekend market a pleasure. It's easy to browse around here and you're sure to find some special gifts and souvenirs. Then remember to go to City Hall again!
Brisbane City Hall is located in King George Square, the people's square of the city of literature and art. For the past 80 years, the Hall has been the venue for many of Brisbane's cultural, social and civic events.
Walk along the city, unconsciously walked to the story bridge nearby, the last time I came to Brisbane, I used to think that kangaroo corner is a place to see kangaroos, but looked for a long time did not find it, this time came to the neighborhood, decided to go to find kangaroo corner again, from the shore to take a municipal ferry to the other side, you can stop by to see Brisbane's most famous story bridge.
"Story Bridge" In fact, it does not have any story, because its designer name is "Story", and later it was named after it, and the Chinese name is "Story Bridge", is it a bit humorous?
The Story Bridge is famous mainly because designer Story later designed the more famous "Sydney Bridge".
Story Bridge
The bridge climbing activity at story bridge is a project that cannot be missed for panoramic views of Brisbane. Instructors will lead visitors to the 80-meter-high Story Bridge, at the top of the bridge, the 360-degree unobstructed landscape, Brisbane's characteristic architecture, the river at the foot, and the surrounding mountains are all in view, and the magnificent scenery will make people hold their breath and breathe. Unfortunately, this trip wore a skirt and rubbed shoulders with this exciting encounter.
After coming ashore, walk along the signs while admiring the cityscape of the CBD, walking on the riverbank, the breeze gusting, can't help but leave a souvenir on this skyline.
Brisbane CD
After walking for about ten minutes, you will see an entrance sign to go up the mountain, and climb up to the observation deck at the highest point. This time it's finally time for Kangaroo Horn!
Although it is called Kangaroo Corner, unfortunately you can't find kangaroos here. It is actually a marsupial zone formed by the turns of the Brisbane River, and there are two legends why it is called kangaroo horn: First, it is said that this bay resembles the tail of a kangaroo, so the locals call it kangaroo horn, just like the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Second, it is said that this place used to be the place where the government hunted kangaroos, and in the past, kangaroos were infested here, affecting people's lives, and the government drove kangaroos to kangaroo horns, and kangaroos either fell off the cliff or were rounded up.
Kangaroo Point is now a sightseeing spot to see the cityscape and rivers of Brisbane. For a panoramic view of Brisbane's skyline, this is a great angle, and the whole cityscape is spectacular at an ultra-wide angle. Don't forget to bring your camera or camcorder and come here to capture rare shots!
