Wil Wheaton wants to know what to do in Brisbane while he's there.  What would you suggest? :)

Well, depending on how long he and Anne have, I would suggest a trip up and down the river on the CityCat, hop off at Southbank or the West End, Museum and Gallery of Modern Art are at Southbank, along with MANY excellent eating establishments. There's all sorts of hidden gem shopping places at West End. I know they aren't terribly into the sportsball things, but if either here or on the Gold Coast they have a chance to catch a game, even at a local field, it would be interesting in an anthropological kind of way. QPAC does the big performances of plays and musicals and things and is quite expensive but the Arts Theatre on Petrie Terrace is tiny and lovely and affordable and the troupe there give excellent Terry Pratchett plays if one is on. (I have no idea atm, I am consumed with study ( ... )

Ooh, I forgot to mention: whilst in Brisvegas, keep an eye out for a) random sculptural art-there's little bits everywhere, including giant Beryllium spheres in Brisbane square at the top of Queen St near the big blocks of colour building (that's the library if you need online access); and,

b) our pedestrian light signal change boxes come with a bewildering array of artistic graffiti. Some are quite excellent. Collect as many as you can!

Thanks for the tips. :)

Much of what you said had already been suggested (86 comments so far!), but now I want to go. :)

Brisbane is really lovely. Not so much exciting, but lovely.
