I asked for help last year when my friend was visiting Sydney and got some great advice so here goes again.Another of my lucky travelling friends is going on a two week trip to Brisbane with a side trip to Canberra.We are very avid gardeners and she would like to take in some gardens in those areas.She will be staying by the university(?) while in Brisbane.Is it spring there now? So sad that I can't go with these women but can at least live through their photos and experiences.Thank you for any suggestions.

RE: Trip to Brisbane

Yes it is Spring here now, most days are in the high 20's or low 30's we are also getting rain at last after many months of drought, its is also a bit on the humid side.

Places to see. The Roma Street Parklands, We have two Botanic gardens. There are so many things here and plenty of places for info. In the City in the Queen Street Mall there is a Info place with heaps of coloured brochures.

You dont say what University as there are many of them in the suburbs. I have not lived here long enough to know everthing yet, but plenty of our members have so they will be able to tell you more....Cheers..MM.

Hi KKM,
She could take the bus from the Uni UQ,412 into the City,Adelaide Street cross the street Catch the free City Loop to Botanic Gardens Alice Street near Parliment House.Then she could catch a 190 to New Farm Park and check out the huge rose gardens, Catch the CityCat from New Farm to Southbank Parklands and back to the City take the City Sights Tour to Roma Street Parklands they have guided tours at certain times. Take the 411 to Mount Cootha Botanic Gardens only runs Daylight hours. Don't forget to take the Croc Bus to Australia Zoo and Gardens a good day out as well.Will also need a good hat, sunsreen and water bottle at present. Good luck. Peter r
