Grab a sweet treat and a warm drink. Max Brenner is just a short walk from the museum and perfect for settling in before the evening rush.
18:02
Step inside the Queensland Maritime Museum. Spend the remaining daylight exploring the exhibitions, stepping aboard HMAS Diamantina, and seeing Ella's Pink Lady, the yacht Jessica Watson sailed solo around the world.
18:47
Walk to South Bank Parklands. Find a spot near the waterfront as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in evening hues.
19:17
Dinner at the Plough Inn. This heritage-listed hotel sits right in the parklands, offering a classic atmosphere as the lights of the city begin to twinkle across the river.
20:02
End the night with a drink at Star Casino. With bars open 24 hours and no lockout, you can choose a quiet lounge or a dance floor to keep the evening going.
Local tip
The museum closes at 16:30, so start your visit at least an hour and a half before sunset to ensure you have enough time inside before the evening activities begin.
