Heritage Walk around Brisbane

Brisbane - We walk to Brisbane City Hall to meet our Brisbane City Greeter, Teryn.  We were introduce to the Grand dame 'Brisbane City Hall' which in years gone by was the tallest building in Brisbane.  Brisbane City Hall is the civic seat of the city and is the home of the Lord Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
