What better way to relax at the end the day than cruising along the Brisbane River and taking in views of the city lights over dinner. Well,
here is how to do it.
Book yourself onboard one of the two icon Paddlewheelers, the 'Kookaburra Queen1' or the 'Kookaburra Queen 2'. Part of Brisbane's 'riverscape' for the past 20 years, the Kookaburra Queen Paddlewheelers still exist today, to provide these popular food and entertainment cruises, for either lunch or dinner. The Paddlewheelers leave from Eagle Street Pier, which is close to the Riverside end of Brisbane City. You can conveniently travel to Eagle Street Pier on the 'city cat' ferry from any of the 'ferry stops'
