Brisbane | Half-Day Guide to The University of Queensland

Made a special trip to visit UQ - here's how to make the most of a half-day visit! Itinerary: ✈ 8:00 AM - Fly Virgin Australia from Sydney ⏰ Arrive Brisbane Airport ~1.5 hours later 🚗 20-30 min drive to UQ (rental car/taxi) UQ Highlights: 🏛️ Stunning campus! Classic sandstone architecture (Pro tip: Visit in September for breathtaking jacaranda blooms!) 🌳 Healing riverside walks - Brisbane River flows through campus = perfect photo ops ☕ Several artsy campus cafes with great vibe 📸 Must-capture spots: Great Court quadrangle, lakeside lawns, and UQ signboard! Tips: • Wear comfortable shoes - campus is expansive • Best photo season: Jacaranda bloom (Sept-Oct, catch them at peak bloom for vibrant purple shots) • Extra time? Nearby attractions include South Bank Parklands and Wheel of Brisbane Transport Note: If not renting a car, consider rideshare/taxi as public transport from airport takes ~1 hour #BrisbaneTravel #UQ #AustraliaDiaries #UniversityLife #StudyAbroad
