CAMPING
In some of the listed areas,
camping is allowed. However,
it’s important you go prepared.
If you are a bit of an adventurer
and want to go camping
in Queensland, you’re in luck.
Queensland has some of the
most extraordinary bush walks
and camping spots in Australia.
You can find all the information
you need at this website
derm.qld.gov.au/parks_and_forests
However, you must remember
to be careful! The Australian
outback is unforgiving and if
you are not prepared, you can
get into some serious trouble.
Take a look at our outback tips
(on your left) and seek advice
from experts regarding permits,
National Park restrictions, safety
queries etc.

XXXX Ale House and
Brewery Tours
Corner of Black & Paten St,
Milton
Ever wondered why there is
a winking man perched on a
building in Milton? The building
is Queensland’s famous
local brewery and the cartoon
character is Mr Fourex, said to
have first appeared in an ad in
1924. The unspoken man has
seen many changes over the
years but you can rely on him
late in the afternoon to wink at
motorists heading home... for
presumably a nice, cold beer.
Still a working brewery, daily
tours give an insight into the
beer making process as well as
people and events of the city.

Queensland Museum and
Sciencentre
Grey St, South Brisbane
Housed in the art gallery and
theatre complex are these two
popular museums. The Sciencentre
is always busy with
its hands-on activities, magic
mirrors, pulleys and levers, and
amazing facts for young and
old. The Queensland Museum
houses exhibitions on Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander cultures,
local history, nature and
prehistoric animals. Bizarrely it
also has the world’s last remaining
German tank from WWI and
a war trophy from the Western
Front in France.

Queensland Maritime
Museum
South Bank (southern end
of Goodwill Bridge), South
Brisbane
From the 1820s when Brisbane
was first settled, the colony
was almost entirely dependent
on shipping for transport and
goods. One of the last remaining
reminders from this period is
South Brisbane’s dry dock, now
home to the Maritime Museum.
Climb aboard the HMAS Diamantina,
a decommissioned
navy frigate, and chat to one of
the fascinating guides. As well
as the floating exhibits, there
are all sorts of ship artefacts,
photographs, early charts and
log books.
