Discovering Brisbane's History
A group of 12 members visited Brisbane for the first outing of Discovering Brisbane's History.
It was very interesting to have a guided talk about the convict built Commissariat Store Museum with its large range of past relics and the Convict settlement history in Brisbane. Afterwards we visited the new Casino and walked around the Skydeck.
