Brisbane Walking Tours Guide: Pavement Pounding in the River City
My calves still remember the exact pitch of the footpath climbing up from the Goodwill Bridge toward South Bank.

If you want to understand how this former penal colony transformed into a modern, sun-drenched metropolis, you have to do it on two feet.
