So wonderful that in the midst of Brisbane’s largest leisure area, Brisbane City Council saw fit to create the Rainforest Walk. A beautiful oasis surrounded by so much doing, the Rainforest Walk provides an opportunity to stop and just be.

One of my favourite parts about Southbank – and there is a lot to love about Southbank – is the Rainforest Walk. This beautiful oasis, tucked between the Wheel of Brisbane and the swimming lagoon, is a welcome reprieve in any busy day out. The well placed seating allows for time to pause and soak in the serenity.
This man made space may be small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm. The boardwalk meanders strategically through the trees, taking you past beautifully created spaces. The water feature adds to the experience visually as well as auditorily. The gentle sounds of the trinkling stream invites calm.
Next time you head to Southbank for a day out, don’t forget to stop by the Rainforest Walk and experience the pleasure of a well planned forest.
