Went on the City Hall tour & the Clock Tour. Both very interesting with very good staff explaining the history. Worth doing.
Best to catch the wheelchair accessible buses or trains to the CBD. The city hall has been amazingly restored and is fitted out with a changing places toilet (this has an overhead hoist & an adult size change table). If you like heritage buildings etc & history, you have to visit the City Hall. You can tag along on a free guided tour of the Hall or if you have a big group for the tour, you must book ahead by contacting the Museum of Brisbane.
Stopped in for lunch at Shingle Inn, saw the fabulous architecture of this lovely old building (marble staircase!) and then took in the 3rd floor exhibition - wonderful!
We did a tour of the Brisbane city Hall today and it was so worthwhile. It went for 45 minutes and the time went quickly. Brian was so experienced and the information was of interest to all. The building has so much history included its use during wartime.
Places are limited to 20 so be sure to book in.
We wanted to go up the clock tower as well but that was booked out. It goes every 15 minutes but the town hall tour is only three times per day.
The museum here is well worth a visit. I always have a good look around the museum shop - they have some interesting little items that make good presents for overseas rellies.
