Throw a few snags in your esky and bring the whole family for a barbecue at the Kangaroo Point cliffs. There are plenty of free gas barbecues along the Brisbane River, and you can get comfortable at a picnic table or pack a rug and sit on the grass.

While the sausages are sizzling, there will be plenty going on to keep everyone entertained. You can take in the view of the city and Botanic Gardens across the river and watch the City Cats and cross-river ferries cruise past.

Heaps of locals keep fit by the cliffs, so you can “people watch” joggers and cyclists, as well as people doing those exercise bootcamps - and be pleased you’re relaxing with a cold drink!

There are usually a few thrillseekers climbing up the cliffs, taking great care as to where they’ll put their feet next - and it can be riveting to watch. While there are people climbing up, there’s usually others abseiling down and there are a number of operators that can hire you gear and show you how to climb or abseil the cliffs.

If you’d prefer something a little closer to the ground, Riverlife hires out bikes and rollerblades. It also runs kayaking tours.

Here’s a few photos of what you could be doing this weekend:

For something more low-key, walk off lunch following the path that wraps along the river.

There’s even a short boardwalk through the mangroves. If you’ve got the time, stroll a little further and check out the yachts moored in the river. There are plenty of covered seats to take a break or simply enjoy the view.

Just for fun, catch the ferry to the cliffs, even if it means driving to a ferry stop first.
