A self guided audio tour of Brisbane.
Brisbane sits along a wide river bend in the Queensland sun, and the city moves with an easy, unhurried confidence. The South Bank parklands stretch along the water opposite the city centre, and the streets between them feel genuinely lived in. It is a place that has grown into itself, warm and a little raw, better on foot than any photograph suggests.
In the app, 99 stops in Brisbane are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
