Mt Coot-tha Brisbane

Mt Coot-tha is a northern suburb of Brisbane . On top of the hill there is a lookout and restaurants overlooking the city.

Looking through the aerial roots of a tree.


There are television towers, an exclusive school, picnic grounds, a planetarium and botanical gardens there also.


In front of the planetarium is a statue of Koustautin Tsiolkovsky 1857-1935 the father of Cosmonautics. He is in a pose of concentration on the stars. The planetarium is surrounded by the Brisbane Botanical Gardens Mt Coot-tha.

  2. Ah Ma'am Diane. I don't have to be from overseas to not be able to see much of Brissy. How wonderful these photos are. The Japanese Garden does add glamour to your Botanical Garden as it does here in Sydney.

    Well, I have a new home for Today's Flowers meme.

  6. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! A burgmasia! I have several growing in my yard. But they are a job for me...I have to winter them in my basement. But when they bloom in the summer I am in heaven!

  8. What a great place, I would like to visit this place next time we are in Brisbane. Your photos are very good, I just love the man star gazing outside the dome.
    You ask has your dust storm hit us yet. Well no, not in the South island, apparently some has got over to the top of the North island, a big band of rain made all the dust fall in the Tasman sea before it got to us. I had been keen to get some fancy golden sunsets too!

  13. Great shots .. I rembember that from Mount Coot-tha at this time of year it is amazing to see how many jacarandas there are spread across the city. I used to visit that part of city often when my in-laws were alive.

  31. I think that еνeгythіng said was νerу logical.
    But, what about thiѕ? suppοѕe you
    were to creаte a aωеѕome headline?

    I mеаn, Ӏ don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a title that grabbed folk'ѕ attеntiοn?
    I mean "Mt Coot-tha Brisbane" is kinԁa ѵanіlla.
    Үou оught to look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab people interested about what you've written.
    Ιn mу οpinion, іt could make your
    poѕts a littlе bit moгe intereѕting.
