Welcome to Brisbane's Western Suburbs
>> An Introduction To Western Suburbs
Just a few minutes from the city, historic Bardon, Ashgrove and Auchenflower feature Queenslander cottages of weatherboard and corrugated iron, painted in a mix of tropical hues and heritage shades that make the inner western suburbs picturesque. A quaint mix of cafes and cottage industries line the main streets and they provide a good alternative for dining and gift shopping.
Featuring breathtaking panoramic views of Brisbane City, with views to Moreton Bay and a fairyland of glittering lights at night, Mount Cootha Lookout has long been a favourite of visitors and locals alike. While you?re at Mount Cootha, take the time to explore Brisbane?s premier subtropical botanic gardens. The 52 hectare gardens feature a number of themed gardens, and are home to the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, where you can journey out into the solar system, through the Milky Way, to the far reaches of our universe.
For an up close and personal encounter with one of Australia?s unique creatures, visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and cuddle a koala. Encounter Australian wildlife in natural settings, hand feed the kangaroos, handle a snake and watch the exciting sheep dog show.
History and transport buffs will enjoy a Sunday outing to the Brisbane Tramway Museum featuring an extensive collection of 24 tramcars and 2 trolley buses. Enthusiasts have lovingly restored the trams to their original condition and each Sunday the museum opens it?s doors to the public to share in their passion and relive this special form of transport.
Take an eerie journey into Brisbane?s past, on a Ghost Tour of the Toowong Cemetery, uncovering a history of death and dying and local ghost stories that explore the realm between this world and the next. The Toowong Cemetery is also the site of a monthly Guided Heritage Walk, organised by the Friends of Toowong Cemetery.
