Upcoming Events in Brisbane

Few other suburbs in Brisbane can match Kangaroo Point for its views and natural beauty. Standing atop the ancient cliffs, the unmasked views of the river, city and mountains show the city at its best, whether it's as the sun is rising, or as the city skyline lights up in the evening. Enthusiasts can climb the iconic Story Bridge, built in 1940 and towering 80 metres above the river or step off the top of the famous cliffs and abseil down to the riverside. However you decide to arrive at the foot of the cliffs - on foot, by City Cat or (for the more adventurous) via abseiling rope - you will be greeted by parklands, bikeways, playgrounds and riverside picnic and barbecue spots. Get your feet tapping at the Brisbane Jazz Club or jump in a kayak for a paddle down the Brisbane River at Riverlife Adventure Centre. Directly under the famous Story Bridge, Caption Burke Park is a popular place for barbecues looking back at the Central Business District.
