Why go
The river explains why commerce first gathered here. Walking the quays reveals older waterfront buildings against the modern downtown, and the change in character from one quay to the next gives more context than a single viewpoint. Cavenagh Bridge offers one tangible link between those periods.
What to look for
- Quayside paths linking Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay.
- Historic waterfront buildings against the modern skyline.
Useful to know
- Choose one or two quays if you have limited time; the full riverside walk covers more ground.
- Treat cruises and riverside businesses as separate visits with their own arrangements.
