Жилье для отпуска в г. Saint Lucia

We shall take an easy and relaxing walk along the Brisbane River in Teneriffe to learn about the history of the area and to understand its historical significance as a centre for the wool trade and as a former naval base during WW2. We shall also discover how the Urban Renewal programme meant Teneriffe became one of Brisbane's most livable suburbs. But don't take my word for it; come and see for yourself. Other things to note Don't forget your camera; and your inquisitive mind.

We are going to take a walk from the historic woolstores of Teneriffe through the commercial heart of Newstead to explore this part of the Urban Renewal project in Brisbane. We shall see the woolstores and industrial buildings, now converted to businesses, shops, cafes and apartments, and spot the reminders of this area's industrial and commercial past. Along the way, learn about the events and factors that influenced and informed the process of guiding and informing the renewal of the area. Put yourself in the role of a civic leader, deciding how the area could and should continue to develop. What will be the legacy from today that captures the interest of tomorrow's citizens? Other things to note Photo opportunities will be many and varied

We'll meet at a local cafe hidden in a small laneway where we'll learn some photographic theory, camera (or phone) settings and tips and tricks to apply when it comes to street photography. We'll then set out to explore the streets and alleyways of the Brisbane CBD where I'll show you the best spots to capture striking street photographs. As we go, I'll be there to critique your photos as you shoot and to offer suggestions for how you can achieve better results. You'll find the two hours will fly by, but you'll leave with great images, and the skills and confidence to continue creating stunning street photography. Of course you'll also have seen parts of the city you would have been unlikely to stumble on yourself. Other things to note Make sure you have comfortable shoes, as we'll be walking or standing for most of the experience.

We'll be up bright and early, meeting at Kangaroo Point Lookout. We'll have a chat about what you know and what you don't about photographing sunrises and I'll give you all the tips and tricks you'll need to take stunning cityscape photographs as the sun rises, illuminating Brisbane's downtown area and the Brisbane River. In between photos, I'll point out some of the significant landmarks that you can see from the lookout. I'll also be happy to share with you local knowledge of places you may be interested in visiting based on your individual interests. By the end of the experience, you'll have so many beautiful photos of Brisbane city lit up by the sun's golden rays that you'll have a hard time choosing which ones you like more! If it's a rainy day, don't fear, we'll learn how to capture cityscapes that use the weather to add mood to your photos. Other things to note While the sunrise is most spectacular on a clear or partly cloudy day, the skyline at dawn can be just as picturesque on a cloudy or even rainy day thanks to the city lights and reflections in buildings' glass facades. I will show you how to get the best camera settings to leave with great photos.

The tour will give guests a special opportunity to take a look at some of the oldest surviving woolstores in Teneriffe. Guests will hear about the special place that wool occupied in the history of Queensland, and the living legacy that the woolstores have stamped on Teneriffe. Learn about the features that made the woolstores special buildings, designed for a particular purpose and a particular location. You will also learn about the associated industries that occupied Teneriffe right up until the 1970s. Hear how changes in the wool markets lead to the abandonment of the woolstores and the decline of Teneriffe as a suburb. And learn how the area was included in the Building Better Cities Program, from which Teneriffe has emerged as a renewed suburb. Other things to note The tour does not require guests to bring any specific equipment. General photography of the building is permitted, but no photography of, or access to individual private residences is permitted.
