D)Wheat Creek Culvert
On the way to see the Wheat Creek culvert, you'll get a glimpse of the Brisbane bus network. The public transportation ticketing within Brisbane is all linked and there are many free services also available.

The Wheat Creek culvert was constructed in 1861 as part of one of the earliest civil engineering projects for the newly formed Brisbane Municipal Council. During the construction of the King George Square Bus Station and underground bus network, the Wheat Creek culvert had to be dismantled and was relocated to its current position at the Bus Station.

On the northern side of the city block, the Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law building houses the new Supreme & Districts Courts. On the southern side of the city block is the Magistrates Court. The whole city block is now known as the law precinct and the designers have created a public square that allows for interaction and public use.

This Brisbane Walk starts at Kurilpa Bridge and meanders along a similar path to a lost creek line of the past. Discover some of the highlights along this 1.6km walk that will take 30-45 minutes depending on how long you wish to stop and take in some interesting spots within the Brisbane CBD. Our installation is located within the magnificent figs near Eagle Street Pier. Wheat Creek joined the Brisbane River where Eagle Street Peir is now situated. It is then only a short walk to some of the finest dining experiences Brisbane has got to offer.
Several highlights along the way are noted below:
A)Kurilpa Bridge
B)Law Courts

After coming up from the bus station, you will find yourself at the bottom end of King George Square. The square was redeveloped in 2009 after a largely-publicised design competition. There has been quite a lot of criticism of the design over the years due to surface heat, glare and lack of shade, but feel free to judge it for yourself!

Eagle Street Pier is home to some of the best dining establishments in Brisbane. There are also fantastic views of the Storey Bridge and Brisbane River. We chose to end the walk here to allow self-exploration of this precinct.

The installation is currently being displayed at the entrance to the State Library of Queensland in South Brisbane. The installation was designed to be located within the magnificent figs, which are located in the triangle at the intersection of Eagle Street, Creek Street and Elizabeth Street.
