Things to look for

The Kangaroo point cliffs

The Kangaroo Point Cliffs are a natural landmark that dominates the inner-city suburb of Kangaroo Point. Quarried from 1829 – 1976, the well-maintained 25m cliff face is the perfect spot for a picnic or BBQ. Or for those more daring, the cliffs are publicly available for use to climb and abseil!

Discover the place behind the adventure

The Brisbane River, also known as Maiwar, is part of a living cultural landscape with continuing Yuggera and Turrbal connection to Country. Riverlife operates from the heritage Naval Stores at Kangaroo Point. The cliffs’ geology and quarrying history, the riverside building and Brisbane’s changing skyline offer different chapters of the city’s story. Explore with care and help protect the river, wildlife and heritage around you.
