TRAVEL WITH BEK NEWS & UPDATES

I was really excited to explore Fellowship Place, Brisbane Airport’s brand-new plane-spotting area featured in my Brisbane travel guide. It officially opened on 19 July 2026 as part of Brisbane Airport’s centenary celebrations, and the best part is that it’s completely free! 

Located at the end of Acacia Street, it’s open from sunrise to sunset and has been purpose-built so you can enjoy a great, unobstructed view of the taxiways and runways. 

There’s a raised viewing platform, shaded seating, and accessible paths, making it an ideal spot whether you’re a serious plane enthusiast, a photographer, visiting with the kids, or like me, just someone who gets a little excited watching planes! 

I also loved the huge tail section from a retired Fokker F28 Fellowship jet, which was donated by Aviation Australia and serves as a pretty impressive feature. 

It’s such a simple idea, but I think Fellowship Place is a fantastic new addition to Brisbane Airport and definitely worth checking out if you love aviation or are looking for something a little different to do in Brisbane.
