- Landmarks
- Kangaroo Point and Fortitude Valley; Kangaroo Point; South Bank Parklands; Brisbane River; CBD; traditional Queenslander timber architecture; lush subtropical flora; Australian
- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from the top of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs or from South Bank looking toward the CBD and Story Bridge, showing cliffside eucalyptus and fig branches in the foreground, the sweeping river, CityCat ferry, and Story Bridge in the middle-ground, and the modern city skyline rising in the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the subtropical canopies of South Bank, Kangaroo Point parklands, and riverbank figs.
- Guarded against
- Avoid confusing Brisbane with Sydney (no Opera House or Sydney Harbour Bridge; Brisbane is defined by the winding Brisbane River, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, and the Story Bridge).
