Starting my walk on Tank Street near the river, with 400 George on the left and Santos Place on the right.


Various architectural details of the McDonnell and East Ltd. building on the corner of Tank and George Streets.


A pair of World War I-era buildings and then the Brisbane Fruit and Produce Market, looking north along Turbot Street from 333 George Street.


My walk continues along George Street to the colourful new Brisbane Square on the southeast corner of Adelaide Street.


Across George Street on the north, found-art City Roos play and lounge at Burnett Lane.


On the next street corner (Queen Street) we find a 1930 bank building. The 3rd photo is over the "BNSW Chambers entrance" at the corner, which implies (to me) that bankers slept where they worked. The last photo is Gestation, a sculpture featured in the 1988 World Exposition in Brisbane before being moved here.


Looking up the east side of Queen Street from the bank. I didn't walk that way, but there was promise of many historical buildings if I did.


Here's one on the west side of Queen Street.


Across from the Treasury Building (see the big link below for that), there are a few old buildings along George Street that would like to capitalise on its importance. These were not all treasury buildings. You can see the Anzac Square building in the penultimate photo, but that crosses my imaginary east-west divide so is not featured until "the east side of downtown" (another big link below).
