Starting from the western end of Kurilpa Bridge, South Brisbane, this return walk takes you to the scenic Goodwill Bridge via the SouthBank Boardwalk and Clem Jones Promenade. The iconic bridge of Brisbane will provide you with panoramic views over Brisbane River, as different types of ferries and boats pass under you. But the bridge is not the only place you can get great urban views. The track passes by all kinds of scenic spots such as the renowned Streets Beach, where you can swim, sunbathe and enjoy the scenery. With the track being wheelchair accessible and safe for kids, you can enjoy this one with your whole family. That includes your dog too, but he/she has to be on a leash. Don’t worry about a hungry stomach as you’ll be passing by multiple cafes and restaurants along the way. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
