One thing you should definitely do in Bris-Vegas is go on the City Cat! If you catch it in central Brisbane and take it upstream, you'll be heding towards the West End and the University of Queensland which is set in very beautiful grounds. Then if you take it back down stream you'll go back past Southbank (where they have a 'fake' beach and markets and entertainment on the weekend), Kangaroo Point Cliffs, the Riverside and City Centre (where there are also markets on a weekend), past New Farm Park (which is a huge park full of fig trees), Teneriffe, Bulimba and then finally to Bretts Wharf.
The round trip will cost you about $4 and take about and 1-2 hours if you don't get off. But see if you can get off at the University, maybe New Farm Park (which, if you walk through it to the other side, has great shops and food delis), Bulimba is also similar to New Farm (except for the park) and Bretts Wharf is at the end of Racecourse Road - quite a nice (and a bit snobby) street lined with cafes, shops and ending with Eagle Farm Racecourse.
I am a Brisbane local and I love the City Cat!

no.these are not the cats roaming around the city.but fast modern ferries that run along the brisbane river.
they are used for public transport as we are a river city, with the river running through the city and suburbs.
good value for money and a very pleasant way to see the city sights.

We parked the car at St Lucia and caught the cat to Southbank. It was a beautiful sunny day and was so peaceful. I can imagine this being a lovely way to get to and from work everyday.
