I regularly see the Brisbane City Sights bus rumbling through Fortitude Valley, and it's always empty. To be fair, maybe it's not yet in service when I see it. But I still can't help wondering exactly what Brisbane's sights are. Many of our oldest buildings have been knocked down, so there's certainly not a lot of historic interest. I snapped this picture when the bus went past the other day and I gather from the illustrations that the tour includes such highlights as City Hall and King George Square, the Old Windmill (fair enough from an historic viewpoint, but hardly spectacular), the casino, Suncorp Stadium (aka Lang Park), the "beach" at South Bank Parklands and the imitation Eiffel Tour in Park Road, Milton. I hope they don't charge too much.
