Brisbane’s South Bank: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Brisbane’s South Bank is often considered the city’s cultural and dining heart. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover how this area evolved from originally a convict work site and then a rough waterfront of wharves and rowdy pubs into Brisbane’s most loved destination. The tour begins at the Nepalese Peace Pagoda, a remarkable structure hand-carved by 160 Nepalese master craftsmen, entirely without nails or power tools. Along the way you'll encounter some of South Bank’s more whimsical touches, like the upside-down elephant sculpture. You'll have a chance to immerse yourself in the Aussie lifestyle at parklands, beaches, and relaxed outdoor living at places like The Boat Pond, Streets Beach, River Quay Green, and Picnic Island. The tour ends at the historic Plough Inn, where you can enjoy a classic Aussie meal at an iconic and historic pub with live music – and, of course, plenty of cold beer and refreshments.

Audio Tour of Brisbane: From Convict Colony to Modern Metropolis

Brisbane’s transformation from a harsh penal settlement into a vibrant river city is a fascinating story. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover how Queensland’s capital grew from its tough convict roots to become Australia’s third-largest city. Its colonial past is still etched into the cityscape through the heritage buildings – some built by convicts themselves. Starting at the Visitor Information Centre in Queen Street Mall, you’ll walk along what was once a dusty dirt track surrounded by convicts, the soldiers guarding them, and the odd settler. As you wander, you’ll notice reminders of Brisbane’s evolution – from dramatic flood markers to a curious safety net installed to catch falling windows from a high-rise building! The tour ends at Brisbane’s exciting new Queen’s Wharf Development, featuring The Star Brisbane and the stunning Sky Deck with its breathtaking views.
