Story Bridge Adventure Climb

Brisbane, the vibrant capital of Queensland, grows ever more captivating by the day. Once dismissed as merely a gateway to the famed Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Brisbane has emerged as a formidable destination on its own right, basking in the glow of anticipation less than a decade away from hosting the prestigious 2032 Summer Olympics. Nestled in a subtropical paradise where alfresco pursuits are available year-round, Brisbane stands as a beacon of sophistication, offering an urban retreat unlike any other. This itinerary guides you through some of the best the city has to offer - while providing a range of options when it comes to making decisions about where to stay, play, eat, explore and relax.

'Boy Swallows Universe' is a best-selling book by Brisbane author Trent Dalton. Semi-autobiographical in nature, it's based around the experiences of a boy called Eli Bell, who grew up in the criminal underworld of 1980s Brisbane. Though the events in the book are often dark - think addiction, violence, and imprisonment - the narrative arc is ultimately uplifting. The book became a locally-produced stage show and, more recently, a popular seven-part Netflix series. Over a recommended three days and three nights, this self-guided tour takes you to the heart of the action - including several of the Brisbane locations mentioned in the book, the sets of the Netflix series, and a few of Dalton's favorite haunts.
