South Bank Vibes: sights, sounds, Bluey & sunshine (Brisbane walking tour)

South Bank's history is a fascinating journey from indigenous meeting grounds to a bustling city center and now a beloved leisure precinct. Let's explore its transformation:
* Traditional Owners: The land belonged to the Turrbal and Yuggera people for millennia.
* Early European Settlement: In the 1840s, European settlement began, making South Bank the city's focal point.
* Thriving Business District: By the 1850s, South Bank became Brisbane's commercial heart, boasting businesses and markets.
* 1893 Flood & Shift: The devastating 1893 flood forced the city center to relocate to higher ground north of the river.
* 20th Century Industry: Throughout the 1900s, South Bank transitioned into an industrial zone and port area.
* World Expo 88 & Transformation: In 1988, World Expo transformed South Bank, showcasing its potential for public use.
* South Bank Parklands & Beyond: After Expo, public advocacy led to the creation of South Bank Parklands in 1992, becoming the vibrant precinct it is today.
* Bluey: if your a fan of Bluey you might recognise some of the locations at South Bank from the show
