Kangaroo Point Cliffs at Sunset
FreePanoramic skyline views as the sun drops behind the city
Watch the sunset over the Brisbane CBD skyline from the Kangaroo Point clifftops, one of the best vantage points in the city. The cliffs sit directly across the river from the CBD with unobstructed views of the skyline, Story Bridge, and river. Free BBQ facilities, picnic areas, and seating along the cliff edge. Wilson Outlook Reserve, a quieter lookout near the Story Bridge, offers a slightly different angle with fewer crowds.
