We are honoured to host this community sporting event that offers something for everyone of all fitness levels and abilities, from a 4km community ride, run or walk for friends and families, through to a 10.5km cycle sprint or a duathlon race for elite competitors. Participants are also given the special treat of crossing the six-laned Story Bridge during its 80th anniversary year. This event is a brilliant way to get outside and enjoy our fantastic climate while showing community spirit by riding, running or walking from the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, across the iconic Story Bridge and finishing at the City Botanic Gardens. I encourage everyone to enjoy this opportunity to get active and to remember to support our local businesses throughout this event as they have been doing it tough throughout the global coronavirus pandemic. The event will also provide a taste of what will be on offer when the Brisbane Cycling Festival is held in March and April 2021. It will be the largest festival of its kind in the Australia, featuring the Tour de Brisbane road race. I hope you have a blast and will be inspired to register next year. Adrian Schrinner Lord Mayor of Brisbane 4 1 Welcome from Tourism and Events Queensland Welcome to the Blast by Tour de Brisbane. This event is a new multi-activity, family-friendly experience which incorporates a free walk, community fun run and community ride delivered in a COVID-safe manner, with a course that takes in Brisbane’s city sights including the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and Story Bridge. Additionally, the event includes the ITU Age Group World Qualifier for Duathlon and the 10.5km Cycle Sprint for competitive or amateur cyclists. This year has brought unprecedented challenges to the tourism and events industry, and this event encourages visitors to the Brisbane region to support local businesses as they continue to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Tourism and Events Queensland is proud to support the Blast by Tour de Brisbane, which features on the It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar. Enjoy the event, and if you’re visiting Brisbane I encourage you to stay on to explore more of the region, from its café culture, retail shopping precincts, suburban green spaces and cultural tourism offerings to its islands, charming country towns, national parks and amazing produce. Leanne Coddington Chief Executive Officer Tourism and Events Queensland 6 1 Welcome from the Event Director Hello friends of Brisbane. It is a pleasure to welcome walkers, runners, riders and duathletes to beautiful Brisbane City in our wonderful Sunshine State. The Blast by Tour de Brisbane is five different events designed to give the community a chance to celebrate our City in fully closed roads and cross the Story Bridge on its 80th birthday. There is no denying that 2020 has been a year like no other. Together with the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council we are proud to offer this community gathering. NXsports is delighted to create the Blast as a special thank you to the businesses and residents of Brisbane for allowing us to conduct the annual Tour de Brisbane in April. Your bib not only provides you with timing, but also includes a digital barcode that can be used to access your personal photos from the day for free. A photography link will be available on our website on event day for you to explore your happy snaps. We must say thank you to our Safety Partner Splatt Lawyers for covering the insurance costs for all participants in our Free Walk, Run and Ride – thanks Kerry and Di. We are proud to be supporting our Official Charity Partner The Common Good, an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation. All funds raised goes directly to vital heart and lung transplant research. Just $44 buys one hour of research, so if you have not donated already I urge you to consider a donation through the ‘Fundraise’ link on our website. Finally, I must stress this is a COVID-Safe event – please read the screening information in this book so you are prepared; and expect precautions and control will be enforced.

Silvia Micheli, University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia’s New World City: The Making of Public and Institutional Spaces in South Bank from Expo ’88 to the G20 In 1988 Brisbane hosted the Expo as part of its Australian Bicentenary celebrations. Organised at South Bank, it was an international event that proved a turning point in the city’s development. Positioned on the Brisbane River, in front of the CBD and next to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the area became an urban experiment, testing how Brisbane would respond to a central area dedicated to recreation and mass consumption. South Bank Parklands has grown in concert with the adjacent institutional precinct of South Brisbane dominated by the Queensland Cultural Centre, to an extent that today the two areas are recognised under the unifying name of South Bank. Its complexity is generated by the alternation of institutional buildings, leisure structures and public spaces aligned along the river with excellent infrastructure connections.

  • Introduction INTRODUCTION
    /: Introduction INTRODUCTION The thesis project investigates a major area of Late Triassic (230-200 Ma) magmatism of southeastern Queensland and adjacent northeastern New South Wales (Fig. 1.1), which corresponds with the 230 Ma initial extension of the Pangean supercontinent and the return after the coal gap to deposition of coal measures after the Late Permian coal gap (Fig. 1.2) (Veevers et al, 1994a). The area of study, the Ipswich Basin, contains a comprehensive volcanic record of this 230-200 Ma extension phase (Veevers et al, 1994a). 1.0 Study Area The study area encompasses much of the outcropping Ipswich Basin in a 180 x 85 km area centred around Brisbane (Fig. 1.1, inset). Volcanic rocks that occur discontinuously though the area were erupted onto the Palaeozoic basement and form the basal units of the Ipswich Basin. The area has been subdivided into several parts: the Brisbane region in the north, focussing on the Brisbane Tuff; and the area occupied by the Chillingham Volcanics, in the south. Enlarged maps of the Ipswich area, Moreton Island, and Stradbroke Island provide suitable detail of each of these areas. A detailed map of the main area of outcrop of the Brisbane Tuff shows details of the flow lineations and structural data (Fig 2.4). The Chillingham Volcanics have been similarly subdivided so as to provide more detail of the volcanic facies and structure. Exposure varied from quarries, road cuts, and cliffs in the Brisbane region, to scattered and low outcrop in the rolling hills and cleared pastoral land in the Ipswich area, to limited exposure along water courses and in rare cliffs in the dense rain forest in the Gold Coast - Murwillumbah hinterland.
