South Bank Fireworks

Overview

No, this isn’t just the easy option — although it might be the cheapest. Watching fireworks is a New Year’s Eve tradition, and they’re much better seen in person than on television.

Brisbane’s annual display at South Bank is up there with the best, but if braving the crowds rushing for the 8.30pm and midnight pyrotechnics isn’t your thing, why not make a day of it by packing a tasty picnic and staking our your ideal spot along the river? Or venture out a little bit further to seek out a few lofty peaks to peer down on the action. Mt Coot-tha, Highgate Hill, Coorparoo and Kangaroo Point also offer great vantage points.
