The South Bank Parklands was the site of the 1988 World Expo held in Brisbane. Brisbane has put many of the former Expo pavilions to innovative good use. Its attractions include a diverse array of restaurants that take maximum advantage of Brisbane�s weather. There is also a man-made artificial beach together with a magnificent sea lagoon which makes one forget that you�re not along the sea coast but on a river. In addition, there�s an IMAX theatre, the Butterfly and Insect House, and even a Nepalese pagoda! Fun, fun, fun.
