South Bank Parklands

South Bank Parklands Review

One of the most appealing urban parks in Australia, this massive complex includes parklands, shops, a maritime museum, walking and cycling paths, a sprawling man-made beach and luxurious lagoons, a carved-wood pagoda, and excellent city views. The Friday-night Market by Moonlight and weekend South Bank Lifestyle Market bristle with handmade goods, live entertainers, buskers, artists, and New Age pundits. The Wheel of Brisbane, a giant Ferris wheel at the northern entrance of South Bank, is also a must for travelers wanting a spectactular view of the city for A$15 per person. South Bank Parklands stretches along the riverbank south of Queensland Cultural Centre.
