Embark on the South Brisbane Cultural Odyssey Tour

Beneath the lush shade of purple bougainvillea and the hum of ferries along the Brisbane River, South Bank hides stories as vibrant as its parklands. This self-guided audio tour invites you to step off the well-trodden path and into hidden layers of Queensland’s capital—where secret scandals, defiant comebacks, and bold visions shape every archway and avenue.

Why did a catastrophic flood nearly erase the South Bank ferry wharf from history? What secret once echoed beneath the Grand Arbour’s blossoming steel bones? And how did a simple amphitheatre become central to Olympic dreams and city-wide celebrations?

Trace dramatic recoveries by the river, uncover mysteries woven into sun-drenched arches, and watch Brisbane’s secrets bloom as you walk. Experience unexpected drama, colorful charm, and see familiar sights in a completely new light.

Begin now and let South Bank reveal its most extraordinary stories right at your feet.
