    The City Cat is the Brisbane Public Transport system on the river and is a fantastic way to see Brisbane. The boats are large and fast, having both inside and outside seating, we preferred outside with the breeze in our face. Fares are cheap with an all day Off-Peak adult ticket costing Au $3.90 and you can get off and on as often as you like. We travelled on a Saturday afternoon, the day of the RiverFire fireworks spectacular and the river was very busy with all sized craft getting "best position" for the night's entertainment. Saturday is also a good day to view the local sailing clubs in competition. We travelled the full circuit before alighting at Southbank.

    The CityCat goes around Brisbane River. It can take you to the University of Queensland. You can see the wonderful views of tall buildings and some Australian homes. You can take a one-day pass, then you can take buses, ferry with unlimited time. It is best way to travel around Brisbane. If you have any problems, you can go to the Tourist Information Center in the middle of the Queens Street Mall. The one-day pass can be purchased from any Newsagent shops.

    This fleet of sleek catamarans operates from 5.30am to 10.30pm daily - and the service extends from Brett's Wharf, Hamilton, to University of Queensland, St Lucia. There are 14 stops along the way, including Newfarm Park, Kangaroo Point, Southbank, Riverside and Toowong.

    Brisbane has many ferries and a few city-cats which are catermeran things that go really fast :-) many brisbane people use these to simply get from one place to another.... however instead of spending a fortune on a chartered boat tour or something like that, you can get a simple round trip on the ferry for a lot cheaper, and information places around the city usually have a handy little booklet with some main points of the trip, and information about it.

    The best way to travel across/along Brisbane River is to take a City Ferry - the slow ferry - as it's really a pleasure ride. The fast one - City Cat - is just too fast, so fast that you can hardly see the surrounding clearly before arriving your destination. On my last day in Brisbane, I spent half of the afternoon travelling on the Brisbane River on several City Ferries with my day-tripper (1 day ticket for transportation). I enjoyed the rides so much. Some ferries are with open-topped, some are with a small open-air deck at the end. It's really a bargain to travel with the daytripper! Here are my routes: Trip 1: North Quay --> Eagle Street (originally wanted to go to Sydney Street but the captain said it would take 1.5 hours, so i jumped off at Eagle St); Trip 2: Eagle Street --> South Bank (it's too early for night pics of Story Bridge so I went to South Bank for some day pics) Trip 3: South Bank --> Eagle Street (it's sunset time and the sky started to change colour, oh jeeeeeeeeeeessssssss, it's so beautiful!!!) Trip 4: Eagle Street --> North Quay (after taking pics at the areas around Eagle Street, it's time to go back to the city centre.) I felt so good on the ferries, didn't want to get off.

    By ferry, a great way to get to work but an even better way of seeing the city from the river, catch a city cat with an all day ticket and you can travel from brisbane from one end of the river to the other

    City Cat - The city cat ferry is a cheap and fun way to scurry back and forth across the brisbane river. - Ferries run every 20 minutes from 0600AM to 1100PM. - An all day pass is only $5.40 and can be used for the city cat, city ferries, as well as buses and trains. It's a afordable and fun way to see the city and take pictures.

  • The City Ferries crisscross the city reaches of the river, and the City Cats have rapid ferry services to points from Hamilton to Univ. of Qld.

    Along the Brisbane river the Citycat ferry service along and across the Brisbane River. For a one-way trip you’ll be up for AU$1.20 and you can catch one every 10-15 minutes from dawn until after 11pm Monday to Saturday, with shorter hours on Sunday.

    If you have the time then make sure you go for a ride on the City Cat...it's a ferry that runs along the river in Brisbane. It's only cheap (it costed us $4.80 for two people from the city centre to Bulima) and it's a nice way to see the city and bridges.
