Beneath the lush shade of purple bougainvillea and the hum of ferries along the Brisbane River, South Bank hides stories as vibrant as its parklands. This self-guided audio tour invites you to step off the well-trodden path and into hidden layers of Queensland’s capital—where secret scandals, defiant comebacks, and bold visions shape every archway and avenue.

Why did a catastrophic flood nearly erase the South Bank ferry wharf from history? What secret once echoed beneath the Grand Arbour’s blossoming steel bones? And how did a simple amphitheatre become central to Olympic dreams and city-wide celebrations?

Trace dramatic recoveries by the river, uncover mysteries woven into sun-drenched arches, and watch Brisbane’s secrets bloom as you walk. Experience unexpected drama, colorful charm, and see familiar sights in a completely new light.

Begin now and let South Bank reveal its most extraordinary stories right at your feet.
