Brisbane River

Brisbane River Trips

Brisbane has an extensive public transport system that includes ferries and catamarans that stop at most points along the Brisbane River. The Brisbane River is a snaky winding river that is not particularly beautiful but, a visitor gets a good look at the inner city suburbs of Brisbane from the advantage point of the City cat’s and ferries that move visitors around the area. The ferries make the most stops though (being smaller than the catamarans and therefore easier to get in and out of a tight spot)and stop along points on the river that include Toowong, the City, Hamilton, Bulimba, St Lucia, New Farm, West End, and Southbank.

Ferry services even extend to points out in Moreton Bay like:

• Tangalooma (on Moreton Island)
• Stradbroke Island
• Coochiemudlo Island
