    If you want to do something special when you're in Brisbane, check out this walking tour at Brisbane Unexpected. We did "Brisbane At War" with our guide, Annie - fantastic and well worth it. We're going to try and do the Brisbane Unexpected International Street Art walking Tour while we're in Brisbane. Unfortunately we won't have time for the Brisbane River City tour.
