DESCRIPTION
Embark on a Journey Through Time with the Story Bridge Indigenous Climb, an Indigenous Platter and an authentic Boomerang Painting Workshop
Discover Brisbane’s soul from a breathtaking vantage point as the Story Bridge Adventure Climb introduces its exclusive Indigenous Climb.
Immerse yourself in a narrative that spans thousands of years, guided by the wisdom of our First Nations Storyteller. As you ascend the iconic Story Bridge, each step brings you closer to the heart of Brisbane’s Aboriginal history, interwoven with the very fabric of the land you explore.
Our unique climb is not just an adventure; it’s a journey back in time. Experience the rich tapestry of stories that tell of the land, its people, and their enduring connection to it.
The climb culminates in a 360-degree panorama of Brisbane, offering not just a view, but a vision of the past, present, and future, all from the summit of the Story Bridge.
But the experience transcends the climb. It’s about connection—to the stories, the Culture, and the spirit of a place known to its traditional custodians as Meeanjin. Your climb is a step towards understanding, an opportunity to see Brisbane through the eyes of its First Peoples.
With the Story Bridge as your canvas and the stories as your palette, come and paint a memory that will linger long after your descent. This is not just a climb; it’s an awakening.
