Queensland Club

Brisbane


The Queensland Club is so exclusive that even its website is members-only. While you may not be schmoozing in its hallowed rooms any time soon, the building is still worth a quick look for its heritage-listed, Italianate architecture. Hailing back to the 1880s, the building was designed by Scottish-born architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley, himself a member of the esteemed gentlemen's club.
