Sounds good to me. Always a pleasure to show visitors where to get the best "water".
My brother reckons the only place worth visiting is the
Queensland Maritime Museum which is where the Diamantina is. There are some models of US Subs and a bit about the history and its build on the old WWII dry docks where Growler was repaired. New Farm which is where the sub base was located is all parkland and modern apartments now so there's not much to look at around there from what he says, unless you want to sit under a tree.
Here's some links:
