Loved going round this the oldest house in Brisbane. The house is furnished in an eclectic style of the times but gives an idea of life in a 'Queenslander'. The guides are informative and love talking about the hosue and its inhabitants. A must do is the Devonshire Tea - the scones are delicious. More

This building has been well maintained and exhibits the way life was for the Past State Governors, and prior to that the Lieutenat Governors of Queensland. I have been here several times with my own children then later with their children, and now with two of my great grand children. Definitely worth a visit. Make your visit in the AM... More

This is truly a magnificent place to visit. From Reg Lindsay's Country Music show days until today this house is still showing the great history we have in Brisbane. Settled on the Brisbane River it is a great venue for weddings and beautiful photography. More

Set on a bend on the river is Newstead House. The land around it is pretty but the house itself, while historic, is nothing special. More
