Cultural Heartbeat of South Brisbane

Audio guide14 stops

A garden of steel ribs blooming purple under Queensland skies. That’s the South Bank Grand Arbour—a place where Brisbane’s heart pulses with hidden histories and bursts of colour. Take this self-guided audio tour through South Brisbane and unlock stories that slip between river breeze and bougainvillea shadows. Discover the secrets lurking above and beneath the paths most visitors only skim. What political storm nearly erased these parklands forever? Why did a Ferris wheel cross the city to claim its throne by the river? Is it true an industrial skeleton still lurks beneath your feet on the Arbour’s twisting trail? Stride from sparkling riverside walkways to carnival heights atop the Wheel of Brisbane. Hear the clatter of Expo madness, stubborn public rebellions, and whispered mysteries woven through every step. Brisbane’s stories aren’t just waiting—they’re reaching for you like vines in bloom. Start walking and see what blooms behind every corner.
