Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Brisbane, Queensland

January 18, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Australia’s third-largest city, Brisbane is the hub of Queensland culture, offering a peek at the past and a glimpse into the future. Visit the historic Windmill and Old Commissariat Store, built by convicts in 1828, or fast-forward to the present (and beyond) with a trip to the new Gallery of Modern Art. Mingle with locals atop Mount Coot-tha, cruise the Brisbane River to South Bank’s sandy beach on the City Cat and make sure to fill the cuteness quota at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, home to koalas and kangaroos.

We went in the finest hour room which is about saving London from a missile. This is one of their newer rooms so it was more computer oriented. It was awesome as you do something a certain about of times and doors move or draws open. It is one of the better escape rooms we have done and definitely will be back.

The Asylum: Let the tour begin! This is a perfectly “normal” tour of the Bytown Asylum, right? Nothing could possibly go wrong… The Covenant: All your wildest dreams and deepest desires are promised to come true but first, you must sign the contract. Who reads the terms and conditions anyway?
