Brisbane was a cruise stop, and after the guided 3 hour tour, we continued touring on our own, using City Cat ferry to get to the South Bank, where the museums are. We love libraries and wandered into the State Library of Queensland. Friendly librarians, and lovely design.

What a wonderful and informative experience. Amazing exhibits and movement sensors that start the audio commentary. Whether you are interested in the history of tobacco farming, early explorers, mining or local history, this is the place for you. Think Herberton Historical village but on a smaller scale. Definitely worth a visit. Not air conditioned inside so recommend a visit in winter.

This tourist information centre is exceptional, we were met with a friendly smile and greeting from the staff on duty (4nov ) This centre has a brilliant display of the mining pioneers, local indigenous people and anything to do with the early history of the town, there’s an on-site underground mine you can visit, along with a mini lagoo with its own waterfall all located in a garden setting. There’s a cafe along with the usual local souvenirs and a recently opened indigenous art gallery ...don’t miss it.
