THE MYORA SHIPWRECK
Only when the tide is low enough, can you see the Myora. The Myora is a steamship built in 1890 and was used for general services, fishing, and pleasure cruises. Although, in 1956 it sunk into the ocean. Now, mangroves anchor Myora to the river bank for all to enjoy.

These cliffs are a natural landmark that dominates the inner-city suburb of Kangaroo point. It’s the perfect spot for amazing views, a picnic or BBQ. If you’re feeling up the adventure, you can even climb or abseil this 25 meter cliff face.
QUEENSLAND MARITIME MUSEUM
The Queensland Maritime Museum has a variety of historic ships. The HMAS Diamantia is one of the last World War II river-class frigate ships in the world. In fact, Diamantia is one of the two remaining ships in the world that hosted the surrender ceremony. The only other remaining ship is the USS Missouri on display at Pearl Harbor.
THE CHANNEL 7 WHEEL OF BRISBANE

Go at your own pace with no judgement
I turned up thinking I was going to be part of a tourist group (I am a Brisbane resident) but was just handed a kayak after a few forms and a video and I was on the water. I was able to experience they city at my own speed and with my own fitness level, while never feeling out of my depth or going outside my comfort zone. The friendly staff are low key, informative and approachable. All with no Gen Z stare!
