Port Ed Tour

Our PortEd tour begins with a DVD presentation highlighting the varied activities that take place at the Port of Brisbane, Australia’s third busiest capital city port.  Your group can then proceed through our interactive display area before re-boarding your bus with our Education Officer.  Your guide will take you on a tour to see towering cranes loading and unloading ships, trucks and trains moving cargo across the port, as well as the many products that move in and out of this busy port every day.
