5 Hidden Brisbane Locations

We don’t often think about the hidden locations in the cities we live; in the back of our minds we know there are places out there we haven’t discovered but not many of us spend weekends exploring the hidden spots in our local areas.

Brisbane has been around a while – it officially become the capital city of Queensland in 1859. This means there is a fair amount of history in the city that is left laying undiscovered by many. Let’s explore 5 hidden locations in Brisbane; 5 places you’ve probably walked past hundreds of times without realising they were there; places you may otherwise miss if you are exploring the city on holidays.

Museum of Brisbane

If you work in the city, it’s likely you walk past this one regularly. Located within City Hall, the museum hosts a range of exhibitions, and has an artist-in-residence program. The Museum of Brisbane runs Clock Tower Tours every 15 minutes, giving you the opportunity for some amazing views over Brisbane.

Daisy Hill Conservation Park

Don’t get us wrong, we love Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, but Daisy Hill Conservation Park is a little quieter for those looking for a low-key day. With 570 hectares of eucalypt forest, and hiking trails throughout, you are pretty much guaranteed to spot a koala if you keep your eyes peeled.
