Stop 2 Pass by

The Story Bridge is a heritage-listed steel cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia and was built in 1940.

Stop 3 Pass by

South Bank is Brisbane’s vibrant riverside hub, combining lush parklands, cultural institutions, and family-friendly attractions. Spanning over 17 ha, it features Streets Beach—a man-made lagoon—colourful bougainvillea-lined walkways, the Wheel of Brisbane, and bustling markets. Connected by ferries and bridges, it’s a top spot for art, leisure, and scenic city views

Cruising past the Walter Taylor Bridge on a jetski offers a unique and striking perspective. From the water, the towering suspension cables and Art Deco towers feel grand and imposing, with the bridge rising steeply above the river. The residential towers, once lived in, add a quirky historic charm. As you pass beneath, the structure frames the skyline of Indooroopilly and Chelmer, and the echo of your jetski reverberates off the steel and stone. It’s a moment where Brisbane’s history and adventure meet—an unexpected architectural gem seen best from the river, reminding you just how diverse the city’s character really is.

Spanning the Brisbane River, this twin bridge system connects the northern and southern suburbs and plays a vital role in the city’s infrastructure. Its sweeping curves and striking height offer one of the best elevated views of the city skyline, the river, and even the distant Glasshouse Mountains. For locals, it’s a landmark that marks the gateway to Brisbane Airport or a coastal escape. For adventure seekers, like jetski riders on the river below, it’s an iconic sight to cruise beneath — especially at sunrise or sunset when the bridge glows in golden light.
