Inner-City Adventures in Brisbane
Regardless if you’re just visiting Brisbane or are a permanent resident, you should have a look at what’s on offer at Riverlife. Located at the base of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs in the heart of Brisbane, Riverlife provides an adventure experience without having to leave the city.
Looking for a cultural experience
Meet the local Brisbane Aboriginal Tribe, Riverlife Mirrabooka and experience the rich culture of Aboriginal life by just watching or participating in activities such as:
- Traditional song and dance passed down through generations
- Playing traditional Aboriginal musical instruments, like the didgeridoo
- Share in the stories of Aboriginal life and the history of Australia
- Learn to throw a boomerang… properly
- Traditional aboriginal face painting
- Taste traditional foods of the Indigenous culture
The Yuggera Aboriginal Dancers have performed for audiences both in Australia and around the world, including the Europe and the UK, once performing for Queen Elizabeth II.
Drop or climb
Experience the Kangaroo Point Cliffs for yourself with Rock Climbing sessions, both in the daylight or in the evening. The 20m high weathered cliff face is the perfect setting for a great outdoor adventure where the term rock climbing is literal, because you actually climb real. From the top, you can take in the best views of Brisbane city and the river. Climbs for all levels are available, from beginners right through to the most skilled climbers.
Prefer descent to ascent? Then you can try Abseiling instead. The extreme rush of abseiling down the magnificant cliffs, will put a smile on the face of any adventure lover. If it’s your first time, don’t panic! Qualified, experienced instructors will guide you all the way.
For water enthusiasts
If you are more interested by water activities, book in for a guided Kayak tour and enjoy the city from a different perspective. Paddle your way up or down the river and see some of Brisbane’s gorgeous features from the water. Kayaking is available both day and night, and Riverlife offer special packages such as Friday Night Paddle & Prawns and Saturday Night Paddle & Riverside BBQ. If you’ve done all this before and are a experienced paddler, then hire a kayak and take it out by yourself or with an experienced group of friends or family.
