Many moons ago, when Brisbane was first established, the occupying British forces built a big castle dedicated to storing all their money. Occupying a block, it's an impressive, ornate old girl with a rumoured tunnel underneath that links to the Town Hall the next street over.
Hmmm...that'd be right, ferrying extra pennies to Council. Just goes to show that some things don't change.
Nowadays, the old Treasury building is the Conrad Treasury Casino with five star hotel rooms going for a very reasonable AUD$300 a night.
