'Not since Lassie has there been a celebrity canine with so much pulling power. Interest is off the leash, and a Bluey tour won't cost you a bone,' they said.

'From places at Paddington, Ashgrove, South Bank, New Farm and The Glasshouse Mountains, there are so many locations to explore.'

Meanwhile, Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, whose children are a fan of Bluey, called the character a 'homegrown superstar who is showcasing our beautiful city, culture and outdoor lifestyle'.
