Kangaroo Point Walk, Brisbane

Kangaroo Point Walk (Self Guided), Brisbane

Kangaroo Point offers Brisbane vistas of unrivalled beauty. From this area, you can enjoy fabulous river and city views that also take in Kangaroo Point cliffs and the iconic Story Bridge. Come here for relaxation, exercise and adventure. Go for a long leisurely or vigorous stroll through the parkland beneath the cliffs. There is a lot of space in which to roam.

If you like a challenge, abseil and climb the cliffs, which were made steeper by previous quarry operations that mined its volcanic rocks. There's more outdoor fun to be had with the award-winning Riverlife adventure group, situated below the cliffs. It organizes a range of exciting activities, including cliff climbs and kayaking down the Brisbane River. Among the other adventures that can be arranged here are Segway tours around the city, stand up paddle boarding and cycling along Brisbane’s inner city bikeway. The route covers more than 20 kilometers.

When you start to hanker for something to eat, there are plenty of options on your doorstep. Picnic among the beautiful park surrounds or dine in a welcoming restaurant or pub. Visitors are spoiled with a good variety of eating options due to the large number of holiday complexes in the area.
