Brisbaine, Australia

The ship arrived at 7:30AM to a new cruise ship terminal, approximately 30km from the city center. The ship provided a shuttle for $25 round trip. We decided not to take it, but instead call Uber. It costed us a little more, but it was quicker and more comfortable.
We arrived at Anzac square at around 9:00AM.

ANZAC Square is a heritage-listed town square and war memorial in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is a state memorial to the men and women who participated in overseas armed service and is named in honour of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
The weather forecast promises 90 percent of rain and when we arrived at the memorial, it was raining. By the time we finished with walking around and taking pictures the rain turned into a drizzle. We decided the best is to go to a few museums.
The first museum we decided to visit was 15-20 minutes walk.
Queensland Museum featuring science, culture & natural history exhibits specific to the Queensland region. Big collection of animals, butterflies and insects.
After museum, we stopped at coffee shop for a light lunch and a good cup of coffee.
By now the rain stopped and we walked back to Queen Street Mall. It is an open street mall with over 500 stores and restaurants.

Our next museum was Museum of Brisbane. It is located on the 3rd level of City Hall. Museum of Brisbane is a social history museum and art gallery. Great museum to learn the history of the region.

The City Hall has a clock tower. I researched days before that you need tickets to go to clock tower. They allow max 6 people every 15 minutes.

The tour includes a ride in the old freight elevator in the middle of the building, seeing all 4 of the clock faces from behind, all the mechanics which operate the clock and the views from the top is pretty good.

Now it was time to go back. Another Uber and by 4:00PM we were back on the ship.En savoir plus
