There are definitely better things to do in Brisbane then see this river. But its good for public transport (that is generally quite expensive).

Our hotel was out by the airport, so we took the City Cat Ferries into town each day. So convenient (they're by each stop about every 20 minutes or less) and way better than facing the auto traffic and trying to find parking.

There is no way better to look at Brisbane than from the City Cat unless you own a helicopter. You can with your kids do a round trip and a small cost and get to see all of river side Brisbane on a return trip.

The riverside is well looked after, well planned, clean and a pleasure to walk along. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time there
