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.

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 will meet at a location and time of your choosing. You will then follow me on a cycle-friendly route which predominantly utilises bike paths adjacent to the Brisbane River. The 10-25km relatively flat ride will be ridden at a pace you determine. The proposed route is difficult to navigate and less enjoyable in the absence of a local guide. We will stop for photographs as required. I typically capture and share video footage of your ride using my action camera. Other things to note 1. Bike and helmet hire (riverlife.com.au) 2. Dress appropriately for the conditions 3. Helmet is mandatory 4. Ride may be cancelled due to severe weather.

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
