South Bank
The South Bank is a central Brisbane district packed with world
class attractions and experiences for visitors. It attracts more
than nine million people each year mostly to the South Bank
Parklands, which were established on the former site of World Expo
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
features. One of Brisbane's most popular tourist attractions, South
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
Queensland Performing Arts Centre which all line the Brisbane River
proudly. Shoppers and fashion lovers will enjoy Little Stanley
Street where all the latest in fashion can be picked up from the
boutiques and retails stores lining the strip. The South Bank Art
and Craft Markets takes place every Friday night, as well as every
Saturday and Sunday during the day. Visitors should head to the
South Bank Visitors Centre which provides information on current
events; from cultural activities to accommodation options, to event
information and details regarding restaurant and bar
facilities.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.

Visitors Centre: Open daily from 9am to 5pm. Closed
