Arty Bollards

At South Bank Parklands between the Playhouse and the Ferry stop are these two posts in the road, presumably stopping vehicular access. I couldn't quite work out what they represent and I couldn't find any explanation anywhere. They have patterns and inserts of various descriptions. Mybe someone in Brisbane can fill us in of what they represent.

The Arbour walk at South Bank

I know I have posted the Arbour walk before, but this picture was taken by my daughter Carol and it shows the arbour walk beautifully.

Nepalese Pagoda South Bank

No, we're not in Asia, we are in fact on South Bank the 88 World Expo site.

One of the remaining traces of the Exposition on the former site is the Nepal Peace Pagoda, part of the Nepalese representation from the Expo, and donated to the city, by the people of Nepal, is a traditional three-storey hand-made wooden replica of a famous Pagoda in Kathmandu, it is near the Board Walk at the south end of the parklands.

South Bank - Ex Pub

This building before 1988 used to be a pub. Then Expo 88 took over the area and since then it is the home of the South Bank Corporation, the people looking after the South Bank Parklands. The building was erected in 1886.

Trapeze Artist

In 1988, Brisbane hosted the World EXPO in the area now called South Bank. After the event, when the pavilions disappeared and South Bank Parkland was created, some of the remnants left over from the Expo were installed, including this trapeze artist, now adorned in one of the squares of South Bank.
