The staging of World Expo 88 was to prove an inspired one and the prime catalyst for the resurrection of South Bank and the emergence of Brisbane as a vibrant, major city.
In 1988 the eyes of the world were focused on South Bank when it became the site for the hugely successful Brisbane World Exposition showcasing an almost continuous programme of entertainment and events that sparked new life into the city and the South Bank Precinct.
