Bye bye September and hello October. The new month has bought with it some much needed rain however if you are hoping for sunshine by the weekend here are a few of my favourite things to do in Brisbane this October and believe it or not most of them are free.
Brisbane Open House is a free public festival that celebrates Brisbane’s architecture and offers behind-the-scenes access to buildings across the city. Held on the weekend of October 7 and 8, the 2017 Brisbane Open House buildings list is vast and varied with over 90 buildings to explore. See the full list of buildings here and plan your weekend!

Sit back, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of River Quay Green at South Bank Parklands every Sunday afternoon with FREE live music.
