Southbank Parklands is known as the lifestyle and cultural hot spot in Brisbane. Once you're fitted with your bike and helmet, you and your fellow cyclists, led by a knowledgeable local guide will ride the dedicated cycling paths along the south bank of the Brisbane River. Enjoy the scenery as you pedal to historic Kangaroo Point. Located on top of ancient cliffs, Kangaroo Point is a spectacular spot for viewing the surrounding river, city and mountains. Pedal onward over the famous Story Bridge. This steel cantilevered bridge connects the south and north parts of Brisbane and welcomes cars, bikes and pedestrians.

Once across the bridge, you will find yourself in New Farm. With tree-lined streets and beautiful places along the river for picnics and recreation, New Farm is a delight.

Teneriffe is the next stop, where you will find wonderful examples of typical Queenslander architecture. These homes are notable as raised, single-story dwellings with corrugated iron roofs.

It's time to pedal your way back toward downtown along the waterfront, but not before a stop at the impressive City Botanic Gardens, bursting with both native and exotic plant species.

Now you will find yourself back in Southbank Parklands, where you will have an hour to browse the shops or enjoy the local cafes and restaurants.
