Explore Brisbane...Visit the Commissariat Store Museum & Queen's Wharf precinct
Learn about Brisbane's beginnings from the indigenous groups, arrival of explorers, penal settlements, free settlers and traders and the subsequent development of our city through an interesting presentation by a member of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland. This will be followed by an opportunity to view the many artifacts and stories on display. Entry is $8.00 per person payable at the museum which helps fund this non-profit organisation dedicated to the mission of preserving Queensland history through conservation and education.
Take the opportunity afterwards to spend time in the Queen's Wharf Precinct and Star Casino with a visit to the 23rd floor observation deck overlooking the Brisbane River, and views towards Southbank and West End. You can enjoy morning tea or a light lunch at one of the available restaurants.
