If you can get up here... great lookout. Buses run from the city, and I'd recommend it. Lovely restaurant on the top, a little on the expensive side, but it has a stunning view of Brissy.

Down River Terrace, this is a lovely walk along the Kangroo Point Cliffs, that look out onto Brisbane City. Tradition is to grab fish and chips or an ice cream to eat here. Stunning day or night.
