The cafe on the bridge - I don't think there are many cities that can boast having a cafe on a bridge. And not just any old coffee cart but a coffee cart with a bunch of guys who've got great personality,know how to make coffee and serve it in a unique manner. The home made offerings are just that - home made and DELICIOUS.
No chairs and tables here only bench seats (with cushions) or take a spot on the bridge floor. A favourite place for the locals - bike riders, joggers, and walkers as well as those visiting our lovely city.
For the best outlook in Brisbane while sipping and enjoying most arguably the best morning coffee you can get in Brisvegas - this is where you want to be. Brilliant:-)

The Glass House Mountains - this is a relatively short walk, approximately 2.8 kilometre up and down the mountain. It has an incline that is a little challenging, especially if you're not a regular walker, but the effort is worth it for the views at the top. See all the mountains, farmland and Pacific Ocean.
Afterwards visit the Sunshine Coast beaches.
