88. The Parklands contain Australia's only man-made beach and
lagoon, right in the heart of the City, known as South Bank Beach.
There is also rainforest walks, picnic and barbecue areas and water

Bank is also home to the Queensland Cultural Centre, which includes
Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery, the State Library of
Queensland, the Greater Union Hoyt's South Bank Cinemas and the
