This precinct is beautifully draped by the Storey Bridge. Have a brew near the shipwreck playground. Great street art, great views of the city and river, Betty’s burgers for a kid friendly eat.
Kangaroo Point

This is the old gasworks, the crown structure looks beautiful at night and during the day. Great for scooting, playground, green space to kick soccer ball, open space overlooking river, walk along river, lots of food options, we love Yolk for breakfast, we love The Standard Market Company for its diverse range of deli offering and cake selection, gelato here too yum!

Shopping
Shop for gifts to take home or for yourself to take home as a souvenir of sorts?
This is the Direct Factory Outlets not far from Brisbane Airport. Eat at Mamaku on the way, the eatery can get busy and not a lot of variety, but shopping here is great. There is a Lindt shop here so you can buy chocolate for gifts. There is also a TKMaxx here and can find some special trinkets here.
