Kangaroo Point Cliffs
Sandstone cliffs on the east bank of the Brisbane River, offering climbing, abseiling, riverside picnics and night views of the city skyline.
The Kangaroo Point Cliffs are rhyolite cliffs about 20 metres high on the east bank of the Brisbane River, facing the city skyline and the City Botanic Gardens. The clifftop has a park, free barbecue areas and a viewing platform, and many people come for sunset and the night view. The cliff face is a popular urban climbing and abseiling site. You can sign up for a taster session with local operators, and because the cliff is lit at night, climbing is still possible after dark. A riverside path below the cliffs leads on foot to Story Bridge or South Bank Parklands. Entry is free and the cliffs are open all day. You can take the free CityHopper ferry to Thornton Street or Holman Street wharf.
