One of my favourite sites in Brisbane, I love it so much, Sean and I got married on the top of it!
Whether you walk across, cycle over, climb on top of it or sail under it, it certainly is a towering spectacle.
Visit during the evening to see what colours it is donning or get up early for a sunrise guided climb - so much history to learn here.
By the way, there are certain buildings in Brisbane that are lit to represent a charity of the week/month including Story Bridge.
