Alice Street is a short road in Brisbane’s central business district, about 550 meters long. It is the southernmost major street in the CBD and runs alongside other streets named after women. The street is named after Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. Between a bend in the Brisbane River and Alice Street are the City Botanic Gardens and Parliament House. At the western end you can access the Gardens Point campus of QUT and the Riverside Expressway. The male-named streets from William Street to Edward Street end when they meet Alice Street. One of Brisbane’s oldest streets, Alice Street also had ferries operate from its eastern end as far back as the 1860s and today has several heritage-listed sites.
