A stroll along South Bank, with the sunshine on your face and the river’s reflection in your eyes, can put a spring in the step of any local, expat or tourist. From the dining destinations of Little Stanley Street to the manicured lawns of River Quay Green, the precinct keeps our bellies full and minds appeased. While most of us can wax lyrical about South Bank, it was also recognised by industry this month as the Property Council of Australia handed out its top accolades in the 2014 Queensland Retail Property of the Year Awards.

The awards categories ranged from presentation to design, with South Bank taking out three key titles, including Excellence in Food Retailing, Excellence in Marketing (for South Bank Concierge) and the major award, Queensland Retail Property of the Year. In light of these triumphs, take a celebratory wander through the parklands this weekend and be granted the chance to fly a faraway friend or family member home to enjoy the South Bank experience with you. Simply spend $15 or more at any participating Little Stanley Street restaurant, cafe or bar before August 31 and you’ll receive an entry card giving you the chance to win a dinner for six people valued at $2000. Find more details here and here.
