About this audio guide
This guide to Queen Street Mall in Brisbane opens on an October afternoon in nineteen eighty-two, when restaurateur Godfrey Mantle set chairs down on freshly laid brick paving and made a bet no one else in the city was making. You will hear how Brisbane's outdoor dining, from Jimmy's on the Mall to the after-school crowd at nearby Hungry Jack's, took shape on this stretch of pavement over the decades since. Stand near the open-air tables and look up before you move on.
