Brisbane North Local Expert: Find Things To Do in Brisbane North

The popular Shorncliffe Pier has been rebuilt and is looking classy and charismatic as ever! The original pier was built in 1883 and has been closed to the public for the past 4 years as it was dismantled and its sturdier replacement was constructed. Although it's newer and whiter, it looks just the same as before, only better!

The Royal Queensland Show or as we call it, The EKKA, has come to town in Brisbane. The city and the country combine to put on a 10 day exhibition for locals, country visitors and tourists alike. Whether it's Hot Wheels racing shows, the cattle or even the wonderful giant vegetable exhibition there's something for everyone. Even the laughing clowns in sideshow alley are a great stop after the farmyard animals for the children. Whatever you do at the EKKA, have fun. #ekka #brisbane

The refurbished Shorncliffe Jetty. After 4 years, she's about to be reopened to the public. Coinciding with the Bluewater Festival and the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht rate, the jetty looks mighty fine. On the north side of Brisbane the jetty juts out into Bramble Bay and Moreton Island can be seen on a clear day like today. Why not visit.
