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.

    Do sunset cruise
    We got tickets and rode the city cat up to the Hamilton turnaround spot and back to South Banks Park area. It was nice to write the boat as the sun was setting and see the city lights coming on. Also, once you get out of the city area and the sun has start to see thousands of bats coming into the city to settle for the night as they fly across the river. We bought a ticket for $20 Australian, which is a two hour window to ride the boat.

    Plenty of local bird species to photograph
    Visited Oxley Creek Common to search for some local bird life, I wasn’t disappointed!

    Plenty of bush birds including a massive family of brown quails, beautiful and peaceful location

    Stunning grounds a fun ferry ride away
    Beautiful grounds, great coffee, excellent food (the kids especially loved the pizza!). This has a beautiful sandstone University feel, so much nicer than QUT.

    Pretty and tranquil
    This is a little gem located off Paradise Road in Forestdale. There is a short bushwalk that takes in two lakes and there are usually a lot of birds around.
