Mike Yardley: Riverside treats in Brisbane

Ditch the thermals and bask in the warmth of the Sunshine State this winter. My first stop on a recent swing through Queensland was Brisbane, lapping up the diversity of urban temptations in this most hospitable of cities. Snaking around the inner-city like a serpentine artery, Brisbane River sets the stage for the city’s photogenic credentials, inter-connecting so many distinctive pockets of goodness and underpinning Brisbane’s heart and soul. After taking my fill of South Bank’s cultural heft, I struck out on the stunning River Public Arts Trail, taking in the artworks on this 2.4km trail that meanders along the river at Kangaroo Point, starting from the Maritime Museum and ending down at the Thornton St Ferry Terminal. Amid the trove of works is a throwback to Expo ’88, the iconic sculpture, Man & Matter. Few suburbs can match Kangaroo Point for its skyline

I’ve had conversations with teenagers about what it was like being a teenager back in the day. We couldn’t just send a message on WhatsApp to see who is around and up for going to the cinema. We’d have to agree beforehand on a time and place to meet, and then actually be there at the pre-agreed time and place. If one of us wasn’t there, it wasn’t easy to get hold of them straight away, unless one was happy with spending one’s pocket money on a payphone, and that’s if there happened to be one at the agreed place. You just had to wait, without knowing if your friend was stuck in traffic on the bus or was held up for some other reason. You and the other group members present might, after being more than patient, crack on with your pre-planned activity and leave the meeting point without your friend.
