  • A beach in the city. It overlooks the Brisbane River into the city skyline. Very pretty. There is a weekend market nearby in the parklands, very cultural.

    I bet there's not many cities you can strip down to your bikini in the middle of! Make the most of Brisbane's glorious sunshine by heading over to Southbank. You can sunbathe on the sand by the lagoon or on one of the expansive grass lawns. When the sun starts to bite, cool off in one of the three interconnecting lagoons. Southbank is extremely popular with both locals and tourists so it can get mighty crowded here, especially on summer weekends. My favourite time of day to head into southbank is early morning just before 8am. At that time it is not too hot, not too crowded and the lagoon water is still relatively clean. There are numerous cafes and restaurants within the parklands if you get peckish - and the bakery does a very passable chocolate croissant.

  • I have plenty of ideas but you will see when you get there everything is at your door step. Southbank is full of things to do. Here are just a couple I am sure others can give you more. 1. Southbanks man made beach is great for kids (and generally it should be warm enough to swim) 2.Get a zone 1-2 daily ticket for the ferries and cruise around the river(cheap)Hop on and off and different stops like newfarm, hamilton etc. 3.musuem and art gallery very close to your accom. 4.Walk around to the KangarooPoint cliffs for a picnic or rock climb 5.Walk across the foot bridge into Brisbane and explore the Botantical gardens. 6. Heaps of good resteraunts at southbank. These are just a few ideas all very close to where you are(waliking distance) If you want to venture further for a day trip. Try Australia Zoo on the sunshine Coast. Take a train to Landsborough station and the Zoo bus picks you up from there.Kids will love it. Train station also walking distance from accomm. Have fun Julie-Anne

    If you're into people watching, Southbank is a great place to indulge this little hobby. Sit there for long enough and I'm sure the entire spectrum of humanity will pass you by.

    South Bank park is a great area, on the "south bank" of brisbane. You can take a walk through the rainforest path, or spend the day suntanning on the man made beach and swimming area, (which is kinda odd to try and relax on the beach, while overlooking the city of brisbane, and hearing the traffic). There are also lots of cafes and restaurants within the park, and some tourist shops as well. There is a museum located within the park as well.

    Southbank is an oasis in the middle of Brisbane city. Take a towel and a newspaper/magazine and lie on the beach. Get there early because theres a lot of people in Brisbane and the little beach can't hold everyone. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and fast food places or if your on a budget take a picnic. There are markets, an entertainment pavillion, conservatorium, souvenier shops, a pub, newsagent, restaurants, a nepalese peace pagoda, cultural centre, tranquil chinese gardens and so much more.

    Southbank was the site of Exppo 88 in Brisbane. After Expo residents of Brisbane were keen to see much of the parkland atmosphere retained. Hence Southbank was developed and opened around 1992. Over 10 years on the Southbank area remains one of Brisbane's significant mixed parkland and restaurant areas. Centrepiece to Southbank is a hugely popular lagoon beach. It's jam packed in Summer on the weekends. In addition Southbank also plays host to many events and concerts in the amphitheatre. If you're after a bite to eat Southbank has over 30 restaurants and takeaways to choose from.

  • The Southbank Parklands are a really nice area to be in, and it's a good place to go for a walk and chill out for an afternoon. There are plenty of bars and cafes, music performances and other special events, details of which can be found on the website below.

    Southbank: Spend a sunny afternoon by the lagoon

  • The lagoon on southbank was my favourite thing about Brisbane, I love the idea that they built a beach to make up for the fact that they don't really have a natural one! Although it gets pretty crowded up there on sunny days and at weekends, you still shouldn't really have too many probs finding a spot to stretch out in the sun and relax. There's a sandy beach, or grassy areas, whichever you prefer and there are also cafes and shops to buy refreshments. The lagoon itself is really nice with a sandy bottom and is a great way to escape the Brisbane heat, although you're likely to get splashed by children during the school hols!
