    Toowong Memorial Park

    The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the heritage grounds. Take a moment to appreciate the quiet atmosphere.

    Regatta

    Walk to Regatta for a drink. It is a short walk away. If it is a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, expect a wait to get in. On Wednesday or Sunday nights, the venue is taken by students, so it is lively and easy to get a seat.

Local tip

Regatta has high student traffic on Wednesdays and Sundays. If you prefer a quieter pint, Royal Exchange Hotel is a good alternative, though it is a slightly longer walk.
