Our departure point was at Brett's Wharf which is on busy Kingsford Smith Drive in Hamilton.
Here's Brett's Wharf at Hamilton where we would board... |
The very expensive houses on the other side of the road from the wharf... |
Looking over the river towards the city... |
Looking west towards the suburbs of Newstead, Bowen Hills and Herston... |
Another view of the expensive real estate of Hamilton |
We've started our cruise now and a City Cat comes in to the ferry pontoon |
Some older docks on the north side of the river... |
Heading downstream towards the Gateway Bridge... |
Behind here is the Mary Cairncross Drydock...it is still operational |
This is the lovely Colmslie Beach (still Brisbane river though) |
Raptis Seafood at Colmslie |
Even more of Colmslie Beach |
This is downstream from Colmslie...loved the reflections...part of the Port of Brisbane (P.O.B.) |
Nearly at the Gateway Bridge... |
Royal Queensland Golf Course on the northern side of the river |
Some of the vessels on the left are ready to be called out at any time... |
Picture shows some of the bulk handling facilities at POB plus a couple of pretty impressive boats! |
Next time I'll post photos of some of the ships loading and unloading at POB and then continue telling you about our journey through the islands.

This sounds lovely Maria. I didn't know it was possible to cruise to the Gold coast. Will be interested to see the rest of the journey. cheers Wendy

Thanks for taking me on the day trip with you. I enjoyed it! :)
Lovely way to spend the day Maria
Sounds like a lovely little cruise. Good to see some of these places from a different perspective. I have been to the Mary Cairncross dry dock to pick up my son when his (navy) ship came in for some work to be done.
Beautiful photos.
Gosh..your little holiday went fast! I can't believe you're back home in Brisbane already!
Sounds and looks wonderfully relaxing Maria. It's a few years since we visited Queensland. Due for a Northern holiday I think. xx
