Have you ever wanted to escape from the hectic life of the city and relax? Well, you may want to visit South Bank in Brisbane, Queensland in Australia.

My family and I recently did just that. Since it is near the Brisbane River, you get to ride on one of the ferries, like the CityCat (a paid service), for a fun experience. Hopping onto a ferry is actually a convenient way to explore part of Brisbane.
