From Brisbane City is an easy walk to the surrounding suburbs. The different time of the day and the change of seasons make the walks always interesting and different.

Starting at the Wheel of Brisbane at South Bank Parkland, the walk is about 6km, allow one hour and a half hours. The walk is very easy since it is mostly flat - you just need to have the level of fitness to walk for about 6 km. This walk includes a ride back by ferry from Sydney Street, New Farm, into Brisbane City.



The New Farm walk is regularly run by the Hiking South East Qld and More on Monday evenings. The walk can be done at any time of the day and in any season. You can start the walk at 5:30pm, moderate pace. For this walk, a map of Brisbane can be handy or download a good app on your smartphone that can help you to navigate the City.
