Sitting proudly atop the cliffs over the Brisbane River, Kangaroo Point is a richly-designed inner-city suburb with an exciting combination of historic and modern buildings. Kangaroo Point’s rich history is blended perfectly with sleek, modern designs, including floor-to-ceiling windows and large balconies that provide stunning views of the city’s skyline.
Kangaroo Point is named for the rocky outcrop that early settlers once used to hunt kangaroos, and is now a top destination for rock climbers, picnic-goers and outdoor enthusiasts. Located just across the river from the CBD, Kangaroo Point is the perfect urban Australia suburb, with lots of exciting activities and beautiful buildings.
