Start time is 9:30. Throw down at 11:30 in the shade area on the river side of RIVERLIFE.
The subject, as different from location for our first sketch for 2026 is Brisbane Tuff Rock. (Tuff pronounced ‘toof’). I have included three information sheets on Brisbane Tuff in the attached photos.
The Kangaroo Point Cliffs provide an abundance of compositions to sketch our very own rock. You may choose to sketch from Main Street, on top of the cliffs. There is a pedestrian overpass along Main Street which has outcrops of Brisbane Tuff on either side. Nearby is St Mary’s Anglican Church, constructed from Brisbane Tuff.
I plan to sketch the overpass from 9:30 - 10:15
For those sketching at the river level, we will locate ourselves between RIVERLIFE and Captain Cook Bridge. The location is not ‘set in stone’ so venturing further afield is fine.
There is some public car parking, estimated 35 x 4 hour parking spots along Kangaroo Point Cliffs Drive.
I plan to sketch from the river level from 10:30 – 11:30.
There are three sets of steps from the Main Street level to the river level. They are located as follows - near the old Thornton Street Ferry where this is also a ramp; near Joey’s on the Cliffs Café; and near Scout Place (look for the statue and the circular Brisbane Tuff hut.
The steps near Joeys and the Scout Hut are steep. The ones at Thornton Street are more regular and there is also a ramp at Thornton Street.
Toilets are located along the river walk path and at Joey’s Café on top of the cliffs.
