There are many places in the center of Brisbane that tempt me to go and play, and it is also very convenient to take the bus, so whenever I have time, I will come here to find those must-visit places, and I don&rsquo;t want to miss any of them. The Queensland State Library is a place that cannot be missed. It is located in the cultural district of the center of Brisbane, Australia, on the south bank of the Brisbane River. In fact, I have walked past this building several times, and I didn&rsquo;t expect it to be a library from the outside.
Later I asked someone and they said: The 1st to 3rd floors of this building are the library. Sure enough, the library is spacious, bright, and quiet. You can enter directly without going through any procedures.
The layout of the three floors is unique, and the space is diverse and suitable for learning, reading, and surfing the Internet. It is very practical and artistic. The style of the Queensland State Library is refreshing, and I like this quiet place very much.

It is a very nice place to chill around, especially on the weekend. There are also restaurants by the river where you could grab a drink and enjoy your day.

The sky and blue water are really a good place for vacation. Australia is indeed a tourist attraction! Farewell to the words of the magic capital, come here as warm as spring. And people feel less and very good, and you can eat oysters at night.

Not far from the Queensland Art Museum is the modern art gallery. Although the two art galleries have a mediocre appearance, the interior space is elegant and warmly designed. The modern art gallery houses many modern abstract and creative painters, and the design is clever, and the inspiration and artistic creativity are extremely colorful. If you don&#39;t see the introduction, you can&#39;t imagine the moral behind the work. Suitable for avant-garde art lovers.

The Queensland Museum in Brisbane is the largest natural museum here, and it houses many artifacts about Queensland&#39;s nature, history and humanities, including many paleontological fossils, reflecting the biodiversity of the ancient times. It is definitely worth the archaeological enthusiasts to come and enjoy.

The variety of vendors allowed for interesting browsing. Had some very unique Christmas gifts to bring back to Canada. Had a long stroll along Kangaroo Point and then breakfast on the South Bank where we read the newspaper... The decoration of the market was just wonderful.
