Brisbane is a river city and its pedestrian bridges are some of its finest pieces of public infrastructure. This walk crosses five of them, catches a CityCat between two, and ends at the city's newest bridge, which opened in December 2024 with a restaurant sitting above the river on stilts. Approximately 8km on foot. No hills worth mentioning. The Brisbane River at every turn.
