Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia7,271 contributionsThe Skyneedle is a relic of Expo88 and was purchased by a local hairdresser and relocated to it's present site. In 2015 the Skyneedle and surrounding land was sold to a developer and is now incorporated into a 12 storey apartment block. It's regarded as an iconic structure and Brisbane landmark and is heritage listed since 2002. Can only be viewed externally but nevertheless an imposing towering structure.Written 19 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

She laughed and said, " I have a day off work, why don't I walk with you and show you".She may have regretted that choice as I stopped to take photos along the way. But she was lovely and told me all about herself and the city around us while we walked together for a couple of blocks.
She was also quite indulgent of my need to take photos of these roos when we walked past them. What a quirky and brilliant idea! One of the roos is lounging on a seat...something no respectable roo would do...but then they wouldn't be feasting on concrete if they were real roos. :)
