Climbing & Abseiling
You can make like Spiderman at the
Kangaroo Point Cliffs
, on the southern banks of the Bris-
bane River at Kangaroo Point. These pink volcanic cliffs are around 200 million years old
and, regardless of your level of expertise, joining the other scrambling figures is exhilarat-
ing! The cliffs are floodlit until midnight or later.
