About this audio guide
This guide to Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park in Brisbane follows the rock itself, tracing the cliff face back more than two hundred twenty-six million years to a series of ancient volcanic eruptions. You'll hear from a Queensland Museum geologist on how ash and fast-moving pyroclastic flows compacted into stone, and meet the convict quarry that Captain Patrick Logan opened in the eighteen twenties, later worked by stonemasons including a future Brisbane mayor. It's a story about what the city was built from before it decided what to build. Best heard standing at the base of the floodlit wall in the evening.
