Queensland Museum – Brisbane, QLD

#summervacay Queensland Museum is right by South Bank, and it’s the perfect cool-down stop between swims and market browsing. I loved the natural history section—giant whale skeletons, dinosaur fossils, and displays about Queensland’s native wildlife. The Discovery Centre is great for kids (and curious adults like me!). The temporary exhibition on Queensland’s role in WWII was fascinating and well put together. It's free, air-conditioned, and full of interesting things to see. A summer city day well spent.
