Why go
City Hall tells a civic story, Customs House recalls the working river port, and Story Bridge makes the river crossing visible at city scale. Kangaroo Point Cliffs add a geological and industrial view across the water. These landmarks reward comparison, but they span more than one bank and do not form a single fixed walk.
