Wilson’s Outlook

Wilson’s Outlook is beautiful. At night time, the bridge looks amazing, and the hum of the cars as they zip across gives this very nice white noise, as odd as that sounds.
Perfect place to take someone after a date, as it’s just a short stroll from the city, the valley or New Farm.
There are around 5 benches in the spots in Wilson’s Outlook, and a couple of public bins too, so it’s perfect for a picnic during the day and you don’t have to take all your rubbish back with you in the car.
If you’re only going to come here once, make sure it’s at night, it’s so much nicer!
Note, the only problem with Wilson’s Outlook, and the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5, is because of the chronic mosquitos that will devour your skin. Wear some insect repellent, or you will have a miserable time. Although, at the time of writing, there is a huge mosquito population outbreak right now bigger than any in the past 14 years (2015), so that may be skewing my review a tad.

On a clear day or a cloudless evening, Wilson’s Outlook at New Farm provides one of the most stunning views of Brisbane city and the Story Bridge. I stumbled upon it accidently after taking a wrong turn on my way to Chouquette for a croissant. The vista was breathtaking and has caused me to return time and time again since.
Take a picnic, a friend, or a date you want to impress. If you have a good camera, it’s also a great place to take photos of Brissy or if you’re game, get their early for the annual Riverfire festival.
