The Milton portion of these paths run right along the water’s edge alongside Coronation drive.
Many locals use the path for walking to work in the morning, while all throughout the day there are active people going for river runs or cycling on the bicycle paths.
You can even take the time out to sit at one of the many public benches and just watch life go by on the river.
Suncorp Stadium
This is where you’ll find all the major sporting events including, State of Origin, Football Internationals and even huge concerts to the likes of U2 and Bon Jovi.
The Suncorp Stadium is home to the Brisbane Broncos, Queensland Reds and the Brisbane Roar teams.
Visitors can take a tour of the stadium that shows you areas usually just for the elite athletes and media personalities, as well as taking you through the history of the site that was originally a cemetery.
