Brisbane’s Best in 48 Hours: City Icons & Aussie Wildlife 🐨✨

Kick off your Brisbane adventure with the iconic Brisbane Sign in South Bank — perfect for creative group shots and skyline selfies, especially at sunrise or sunset when the colors pop! Next, head up to the Mount Coot-Tha Summit Lookout (1012 Sir Samuel Griffith Dr), open all day for jaw-dropping city and river views. It’s an insta-worthy spot, particularly at golden hour, and a top spot to grab a coffee at the summit café.

Dive into downtown greenspace at Post Office Square (270 Queen St), a relaxing spot for lunch or people-watching between city explorations. Not far away, pay homage to Queensland’s history at Anzac Square & Memorial Galleries (285 Ann St). Visit early in the week (open 10:00-16:00 Mon-Fri, Sun) for quiet reflection and to catch the moving war memorial displays.

On your second day, venture out to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary (708 Jesmond Rd, Fig Tree Pocket), a must for animal lovers. Cuddle a koala, feed kangaroos, and snap photos with sleepy marsupials—don’t miss the adorable “koala cuddle” photo op! Arrive when doors open at 9:00 to beat the bus tours and enjoy a relaxed pace. Bring water and comfy shoes as you’ll be walking lots!

My tip: Space these highlights across two days so you can really soak up the atmosphere—each site deserves lingering, not rushing. Lone Pine has a fee (278.0), but it's worth every dollar for a classic Aussie experience!
