Things to Do in South Brisbane, Brisbane

Brisbane's cultural south bank, compressed between the river and the rail lines opposite the CBD. The brutalist Queensland Cultural Centre holds QAGOMA, the museum, state library, and QPAC; beyond it, Grey Street restaurants and subtropical parklands turn a former wharf-and-industry district into the city's busiest promenade.
