The Old Windmill, also known as the Tower Mill, stands as Brisbane’s oldest building. Originally constructed to grind grain, it has since served multiple purposes, including a site for public executions, a signal tower, a public observatory, and a broadcasting station. It even housed the Queensland Museum for a short period. Today, the windmill is devoid of its sails and topped with a radio mast, standing as a prominent local landmark, though it is closed to visitors.
