The University of Queensland

The University of Queensland has a proud tradition of architectural excellence dating back to the 1930s, when the first drawings of the St. Lucia campus plan were prepared by architects, Hennessy & Hennessy. The freestone clad buildings that emerged between 1937 and 1979 to form the Great Court, remain the physical and spiritual heart of the campus. This walking tour will explore the history and architectural principles behind these projects and discuss the architects responsible for their design.

Aboriginal Cultural Landscape Walking Tours offers guests a unique urban Aboriginal experience of the cultural landscape of Brisbane City, South Brisbane and Highgate Hill.

This event offers the public a chance to virtually tour two versions of Brisbane’s oldest standing building – the Heritage listed Old Windmill Tower on Wickham Terrace. UQ researchers and students have used 3D laser scanning to capture the fine details of the Old Windmill Tower inside and out, and created a virtual reality (VR) version that you can navigate through and examine in detail. The historic graffiti, stone colour and texture, timber detailing and central stairs have all been included so you can experience the rare pleasure of being in the windmill tower, even when you can’t visit in person.
