STORY BRIDGE

Located in the heart of the city, the bridge spans the Brisbane River and provides stunning views of the city skyline and surrounding areas. But the Story Bridge is more than just a beautiful spot to take in the views. It is also an important piece of Brisbane's history and culture. The bridge was completed in 1940 and was the first steel bridge built in Queensland. It was named after the city's founder, John Dunmore Lang, and has become a city symbol.

Built back at the time of Australia’s Great Depression, the Story Bridge is one of the most popular tourist places to visit in Brisbane. The bridge is entirely made up of steel and can be seen shining even from a distance. The bridge is certainly used as the pedestrian walk path and for vehicles to cross over the Brisbane River.

If you are looking for a place from where you can enjoy the best views of the Brisbane river then this is your place to be. Whether you are traveling with your bunch of friends or family, this is a must-visit spot and turns up even more lit at night. 

Location: 170 Main Street, Kangaroo Point
