Brisbane River (The)
Brisbane, AustraliaTel: +61 (0)7 3227 7767 (Brisbane River Management Group) • Web: Visit this site »
The Brisbane River played an important role in the urbanisation of Brisbane, and today it contributes to the enjoyment of an outdoor lifestyle that many Brisbanites thrive upon. In the late-1800s and early 1900s Brisbane's maritime industry was booming, with shipping agents, docks and warehouses lining the river. Logs from local forests were among the first commodities traded on the river, with coal, wool, sugar and cotton to follow. Ferries and recreational vessels comprise most of the river traffic now, and a cruise on this meandering waterway is one of the most relaxing ways to see Brisbane.

Katie from Sydney
Overall Rating: 8
- I liked that the boat wasn't too crowded.
- I didn't like that the water wasn't blue.
“I went out on a getaway cruising vessel and it was great. Some of the other boats seemed much run down, but the one we were on was quite luxurious. They gave us a great lunch and we went boom netting while we were on Morton Bay. What a hoot that was? It was nice to Brisbane from the water and going out onto the bay was fabulous.”
