Venture into South Bank’s pristine Parklands, swim at the famous Streets Beach – a picturesque pool with unrivalled city skyline views or, relax on South Bank Parklands’ sprawling almost 15 hectares of lawns, complete with free barbeques, licensed picnic areas and two lively playgrounds. The peckish among us will also find dozens of eateries dotted throughout the precinct.

Need to get your bearings? Take a stroll along the river-front Clem Jones Promenade or through South Bank’s iconic Arbour – curling steel columns clad in vibrant magenta bougainvillea flowers.

And for those seeking an injection of culture and adventure, look no further than South Bank’s Cultural Precinct (comprised of the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art, the State Library of Queensland, the Queensland Museum, and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre) and bustling year-round events calendar.
