Newstead House
Brisbane's oldest surviving home has been restored to its late Victorian splendor in a peaceful park overlooking the Brisbane River. Wander the rooms, admire the gracious exterior dating from 1846, and on some Sunday afternoons enjoy a free band concert. The U.S. Army occupied the house during World War II, and the first American war memorial built in Australia stands on Newstead Point.
