The land that encompasses Queensport Rocks Park was originally home to Queensport Meatworks and Queensport Aquarium. For the late 1800s, the aquarium was the place to go to on the weekend, with it boasting an impressive array of sea creatures and zoo animals, a roller coaster and a huge concert hall
Interpretive signage and commemorative plaques around the park showcase the history of the area well.
We crossed all the way over, had a short break on the northern bank, and then returned and continued along the path that followed the river towards Metroplex Avenue.
