The story
South Bank's own site describes Streets Beach as "Australia's only beach in the middle of the city" and "one of South Bank's most popular attractions" — "a sparkling-clean, crystal-clear lagoon with white-sand beaches, palm trees, pebbled creeks and shady shallows surrounded by subtropical trees and exotic plantings", overlooking the Brisbane River and the CBD. On safety it states: "there are none of the waves or dangerous rips found at coastal beaches, and Streets Beach is patrolled by experienced, professional lifeguards seven days a week." As at the date checked the page carries a banner reading "Streets Beach is temporarily closed for maintenance. Boat Pool and Aquativity remain open", and adds "Stay tuned for the official reopening date!"
