Cruise in the classic ‘Lady Brisbane’ from Brisbane (Hamilton) to the Gold Coast (Southport), returning by coachlr.jpg)
Cost Includes morning and afternoon teas and BBQ lunch.
Members: $ 100
Non-members: $110
Departing at 9.00 am from the Commercial Pontoon, 449 Kingsford Smith Drive, Hamilton * (150m up-river from Brett’s Wharf City Cat Terminal) on a 6 hour sheltered water excursion, explore the lower reaches of the Brisbane River, turn right and meander past and around the array of islands- large and small- which populate the sheltered waterways of southern Moreton Bay, to Southport. Supported by a comprehensive on-board commentary, and tides and wind permitting- sneaking into spots boaties like to keep secret- experience something of a marine geography which is right on our doorstep.
Disembark at Southport, and return to Hamilton by coach by around 4.30pm (traffic permitting)
The Lady Brisbane is a relatively large (two (2) level) vessel with seating, covered areas and restrooms. As all sailing is in sheltered waters, sailing is (generally) smooth. The vessel docks at fixed jetties. Embarking / disembarking requires modest agility, however accessing the upper deck (steep steps) requires a higher level of mobility.
The RGSQ participants group will share the Lady Brisbane (and the return coach) with other patrons.
Please register your participation on-line. Subject to availability, registrations will be accepted up to 29th September 2023.
Minimum number of participants: 15; Maximum 35.
*Ample on-street parking is available in the vicinity of the departure / return point at Hamilton.
There is a regular ferry service from the Apollo Street (Bulimba) City Cat Terminal to the (directly across the river) Brett’s Wharf Terminal, and street parking available near the Apollo Street Terminal.
