Meet your guide at the Lion Statues outside Brisbane City Hall, and set off on a small group walking tour of Brisbane. Compare rare historical images with the modern streetscape standing before you, revealing how Brisbane has transformed over the last 200 years. From grand heritage buildings to striking modern skyscrapers, discover the people, events, and ambitions that shaped Queensland's capital.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to St John's Cathedral, the Southern Hemisphere's only Neo-Gothic cathedral. Admire its remarkable architecture while learning about its construction, craftsmanship, and place in Brisbane's history.
