Ekka die-hards will no doubt be lining up to watch the fireworks from the main arena, strawberry sundaes in hand.
But if you’re a cheapskate, or just budget savvy, you might prefer to head to a freebie vantage point. There are lots across city, including here in the middle ring north.
Brisbane Kids compiled this great list of north side spots where you can watch the bright lights in your PJs from the comfort of your car, or with a blankie and fold-out chair.
Check them out:
- Collins Road, Ferny Hills
- Camelia Avenue, Everton Hills
- Trammies Corner, Paddington
- Bilsen Road, Zeehan Road and Rode Road, Wavell Heights
- Plucks Road, Arana Hills
- Caratel Street, Stafford Heights
Coincidentally, if you like a room with a view, these streets and areas are also great spots to hunt for your next home, offering great vistas over the Brissie urban landscape.
