Ride Brisbane's oldest working hand-operated lift 76 meters up to the open-air observation platform.
The Clock Tower rises 87.47 meters above King George Square. Built in 1930, it held the title of Brisbane's tallest building until 1967.
You can go inside the tower on a free guided tour. Because the vintage cage lift is small, each tour is strictly limited to seven people.
