Why it's worth checking out
The Thomas Joseph Ryan monument sits on Elizabeth Street in the Brisbane CBD, honouring the Premier of Queensland from 1915 to 1918. With 8 reviews behind its 4.4 rating, it's a well-regarded landmark.
The appeal is a genuine piece of the state's history — a monument to T.J. Ryan, one of Queensland's notable premiers, a distinctive landmark for a photo, a moment of history and a wander among the buildings of central Brisbane. It's a lovely, free stop.
Landmarks and their surrounds change over time, and the city centre is busiest during city hours. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy any time you're exploring the Brisbane CBD — bring your camera and take in the historic streetscape.
