While in Brisbane, you should take the time to visit this attraction. Walk along the boardwalk and be amazed by the man-made beach. Excellent cafe's around as well as street markets on the weekends. more

I met my Fiance at southbank 7 years ago! we are getting Married in November this year. I live in Brisbane so I have been to Southbank many times.

Southbank is like a large hotel resort, but it is free and open to the public. It is almost in the downtown area of Brisbane -- just across the river from downtown -- and you can get there by foot from downtown across one of 2 bridges, or easily by bus or train from other parts of Brisbane.

Have some fun and take the water taxi from the city over to South Bank (5-10mins once you're underway). The man-made beach is probably it's biggest claim to fame, complete with lifeguards! South Bank also has a ton of outdoor shops, restaurants and even a craft market on the weekends. The craft market is of excellent quality and has high... more

Southbank was so beautiful. You can go swimming in a lagoon or in the artificial beach while looking out over the brisbane river and onto the city. With cafe's and shops it is just a wonderful place to go to escape the heat. more
