Kangaroo Point - Brisbane Destination Guide

Kangaroo Point is a suburb just outside of the city that is located above the Brisbane River. It is well known for the Kangaroo Point Cliffs which are located on the east bank of the river.

It’s not only a fantastic picnic and lookout spot but it’s also very popular with rock climbers and abseilers. At night these rhyolite cliffs light up with tiny lights which allow climbers to use the area at night.

Check out this awesome guide to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs by a climber. The area is also a popular walking spot with a particularly popular walk taking you under the Story Bridge to Dockside. Underneath the cliffs is the popular Story Bridge Hotel which is great for a drink in the afternoon.

Also directly below the cliffs is Captain Burke Park which is a popular picnic and BBQ area. It offers great views of the river and you can watch the rockclimbers go up and down the cliffs.
