Goodwill Bridge

The Goodwill Bridge is a pedestrian and cycling bridge that spans the Brisbane River. It serves as a functional link between the South Bank Parklands in South Brisbane and Gardens Point in the city center. Travelers use this bridge to cross the river without using vehicle traffic, providing a direct route for walking or cycling while offering views of the city skyline and the river.

Getting There

The bridge is located within the central business district area. From the city center, it is accessible via a short walk toward the riverfront. Depending on your starting point in the CBD, it typically takes 5 to 15 minutes to reach the bridge entrance on the Gardens Point side.

Duration of Visit

Since the bridge is primarily a transit point, most visitors spend 15 to 30 minutes crossing it. Those stopping to take photographs or observe the river may stay slightly longer.

When to Visit

The bridge is open to the public throughout the day. Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon avoids the peak commuter flow. It can get crowded during weekend events or public holidays when foot traffic between the city and South Bank increases.

Nearby Attractions

The bridge is positioned centrally to several points of interest, making it easy to combine with other visits:

  • HMAS Diamantina: 0.2km
  • South Bank Parklands: 0.5km
  • Brisbane Australia Temple: 0.7km
  • City Botanic Gardens: 0.7km
