Here's your chance to sail on an inland waterway and celebrate Australia Day a little bit differently.

This cruise will give you a chance to see what it was like for the early sailors to navigate the bends of the Brisbane River. Dressed in period clothing to set the scene, the crew will 'press gang' guests to help sail South Passage - Queensland's own sail training Tall Ship - down the reaches of the river.

Or, if you are after a more relaxing afternoon, you can opt to sit back and enjoy the city view as you nibble and sip on your BYO treats.

South Passage - a 100 foot long, gaff-rigged schooner - is a working ship, and you can take part in sailing the vessel as much or as little as you want. No sailing experience is required and South Passage’s crew are always on hand to "show you the ropes".
