Things To Do This Weekend 31 July - 2 Aug
This weekend catch Grace Knight at the Powerhouse, 2 nights of food truck and music festival, a monthly farmers market or get an insight into Australia's dark atomic history.
New to try are a stunning rooftop bar, a London Gastropub, artisan bakery, eastside espresso bar, northside coffee lounge and a rustic Italian pizzeria & trattoria.
Then take time out for a walking tour of one of Brisbane's historic neighbourhoods: East Brisbane, Windsor or New Farm.
Meantime for kids there's Steam Train Sunday, a model steam railway out west and a perfect tween movie.
