The tour will give guests a special opportunity to take a look at some of the oldest surviving woolstores in Teneriffe. Guests will hear about the special place that wool occupied in the history of Queensland, and the living legacy that the woolstores have stamped on Teneriffe. Learn about the features that made the woolstores special buildings, designed for a particular purpose and a particular location. You will also learn about the associated industries that occupied Teneriffe right up until the 1970s. Hear how changes in the wool markets lead to the abandonment of the woolstores and the decline of Teneriffe as a suburb. And learn how the area was included in the Building Better Cities Program, from which Teneriffe has emerged as a renewed suburb. Other things to note The tour does not require guests to bring any specific equipment. General photography of the building is permitted, but no photography of, or access to individual private residences is permitted.

ADVENTURE! Brisbane's best kept secret... North Stradbroke Island. This incredible island is located just 90 minutes from the CBD. We will travel from the city and take the drive on ferry over to the island and this is where our adventure begins! Our small groups are able to visit the Captain's bridge to see how they drive the ferry and take a photo in the captains chair! Once we arrive on Stradbroke Island, we head up to the famous North Gorge Walk. On this walk we will look 35km down Main Beach to the Gold Coast where you can see the skyscrapers from the point. Along the wooden pathways you can see kangaroos relaxing in the sun with the ocean and cliffs as a backdrop! Out in the ocean you will see dolphins, turtles, schools of large fish, sea eagles picking up their lunch and some seasonal marine life including manta rays in summer and humpback whales in winter! Our next stop is a secret location to look for koalas in the trees. Following that we enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Stradbroke Island Hotel. Our next stop is Amity Point to search for koalas and dolphins who often come in to edge of the water so you can see them close! Our next stops are Myora Springs (fresh water spring) and Brown Lake, a tea tree oiled lake. This refreshing rinse leaves you free of sea salt! Other things to note Stairs on the North Gorge Walk and walking up to 1.5km in total over the whole trip

We'll meet at a local cafe hidden in a small laneway where we'll learn some photographic theory, camera (or phone) settings and tips and tricks to apply when it comes to street photography. We'll then set out to explore the streets and alleyways of the Brisbane CBD where I'll show you the best spots to capture striking street photographs. As we go, I'll be there to critique your photos as you shoot and to offer suggestions for how you can achieve better results. You'll find the two hours will fly by, but you'll leave with great images, and the skills and confidence to continue creating stunning street photography. Of course you'll also have seen parts of the city you would have been unlikely to stumble on yourself. Other things to note Make sure you have comfortable shoes, as we'll be walking or standing for most of the experience.

We will meet at a location and time of your choosing. You will then follow me on a cycle-friendly route which predominantly utilises bike paths adjacent to the Brisbane River. The 10-25km relatively flat ride will be ridden at a pace you determine. The proposed route is difficult to navigate and less enjoyable in the absence of a local guide. We will stop for photographs as required. I typically capture and share video footage of your ride using my action camera. Other things to note 1. Bike and helmet hire (riverlife.com.au) 2. Dress appropriately for the conditions 3. Helmet is mandatory 4. Ride may be cancelled due to severe weather.

We are going to take a walk from the historic woolstores of Teneriffe through the commercial heart of Newstead to explore this part of the Urban Renewal project in Brisbane. We shall see the woolstores and industrial buildings, now converted to businesses, shops, cafes and apartments, and spot the reminders of this area's industrial and commercial past. Along the way, learn about the events and factors that influenced and informed the process of guiding and informing the renewal of the area. Put yourself in the role of a civic leader, deciding how the area could and should continue to develop. What will be the legacy from today that captures the interest of tomorrow's citizens? Other things to note Photo opportunities will be many and varied
