It’s great that this heritage place has been retained. It only takes a few minutes to look at and unfortunately it’s not possible to go up the stairs of the windmill. However, it’s still interesting. It’s even more interesting if you can find out a bit about the history. I did a tour as part of the annual Brisbane Open House. The tour was long (over an hour) and looked at several sites nearby as well as this one. Because of BOH there was also some interesting information signs about the reservoirs and their history. I’d recommend this or similar tours for those interested in history.

Visited Brisbane's oldest building, the Tower Mill, and half expected Doc Brown to pop out shouting, "Great Scott!" Built in the 1820s by convicts, it's seen more transformations than a superhero—grain grinder, signal station, timekeeper, and even a TV broadcast site. Talk about a multitasker! While you can't climb inside, the exterior offers a picturesque backdrop, especially with the jacarandas in bloom. A quick visit, but a delightful detour into history.

The old windmill in Brisbane is a captivating piece of history, standing tall with its rustic charm. The weathered blades and sturdy structure transport visitors to a bygone era, offering a unique glimpse into Brisbane’s past. The panoramic views from the windmill provide a picturesque backdrop of the cityscape, making it a must-visit landmark for history enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil escape within the urban landscape.

A great historic building from the early settlement of Brisbane. The windmill did grind grain for the early settlement but latter the blades were taken off. Hanging occoured nearby on a platform recently discovered again. An indigenous person was hanged from one of the sails at one time (which has sparked stories of ghosts). Behind there are dorm like buildings which housed convicts and later were used as early water storage but now are being used for plays. The Mill itself was later used as a weather observatory and the large brass ball on top was moved to...
