More about this tour.

Most Brisbane day trips point you at the coast. This one heads west into the Ipswich countryside instead, where you'll hand feed alpacas, spot kangaroos, wander a Japanese garden and finish with big city views from Mt Coot-tha on the way home. It's a private tour, so the vehicle is yours and the day runs at your pace.Your guide collects you from your Brisbane address at around 9am. First stop is Haigslea EWE Nique Hobby Farm, where you can pat and feed the alpacas, sheep and goats, with coffee and cake included. Next it's Ipswich Nature Centre for a stroll among kangaroos, wallabies and emus, then a quiet wander through Nerima Japanese Gardens, with its flowing water, carefully placed stones and seasonal planting.Lunch is at Pumpyard Bar and Brewery in Ipswich, where the beer is brewed on site and the pizzas come out of a wood fired oven, with meals and drinks at your own cost. The day wraps up at Mt Coot-tha Lookout, with the city skyline below and, on a clear day, the Moreton Bay islands on the horizon, before you're dropped back wherever suits at around 5pm.Prefer koalas to alpacas? The Brisbane Koala and City Private Tour is another easy family pick.
