Overview

Enjoy a fun walk from New Farm Park to Brett's Wharf

Join AW for a fun walk among the vibrant spring blooms. We'll meet in the beautiful surrounds of New Farm Park, where there'll be time to grab a coffee before setting off. The park's famous jacarandas will be putting on their spectacular spring display, creating a sea of vibrant purple blooms overhead.

From here, we'll enjoy an easy, flat 7.5 km walk along Brisbane River, taking in some of the city's prettiest riverside scenery. Along the way we'll stop at scenic viewpoints, stroll past the historic Newstead House, admire the heritage-listed Amity building, and enjoy views across Breakfast Creek.

At Bretts Wharf, we'll hop aboard the CityCat for a relaxing ferry ride back along the river to New Farm, offering a different perspective of Brisbane from the water.

We'll finish our morning with a well-deserved sweet treat before saying our goodbyes- having enjoyed beautiful spring scenery and great company with fellow Adventurous Women.

Grade 1 walk of approximately 7.5 km on mostly flat, smooth surfaces. Expect to be on your feet for around 2–3 hours as we explore the riverwalk and surrounding areas, with plenty of opportunities to stop along the way. Suitable for anyone comfortable walking several kilometres at a relaxed pace.
