Kangaroo Point Cliffs, Natural cliffs and climbing area in Brisbane, Australia.
The Kangaroo Point Cliffs rise 25 meters above the Brisbane River, displaying exposed volcanic rock formations along the eastern riverbank.
Starting in 1826, convicts mined the cliffs for stone that was used to construct early buildings in the Moreton Bay penal settlement.
The cliffs demonstrate the evolution of Brisbane's development, from a quarry site to a recreational space listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.
Electric barbecues, tables, chairs, and restroom facilities are available at the base of the cliffs near the Brisbane River walking paths.
The cliff face contains multiple climbing routes illuminated by flood lights, enabling climbers to practice their skills during night sessions.
