Exploring Brisbane, Australia Nepalese Pagoda & South Bank Rainforest Walk (March 2026) | Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast
Justin Vacula from the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast visits the Nepalese Pagoda at South Bank, Brisbane, taking in the stairs, bell, elephant and dog statues, and ornate architecture featuring dragons, carved pillars, and detailed doors with goddess imagery.
After enjoying the calm atmosphere and nearby fountains, he continues onto the South Bank Rainforest Walk, filming bamboo trees, streams, mini waterfalls, footbridges, and a massive Red Cedar with informational signs.
Filmed on March 1, 2026, in warm ~80°F (about 27°C) weather with a light breeze after earlier drizzle, the walk also includes a quick look at a larger bridge, a boat/ferry with googly eyes, with a glimpse of the Wheel of Brisbane before a final look and sign-off.
