It's Queensland Road Safety Week, and one of our favourite StreetSmarts refreshers is a reminder to drivers that 'Giving way to pedestrians' road rules is one of those important rules to keep everyone safe.

Check it out, and follow the link below for more refreshers.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Everybody knows the quote.

"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"

For nearly 35 years, those words have been part of Australian popular culture.

But how many people know the real story behind the famous arrest? Or where it happened?

Join historian Robert Allen, Queensland Walks and Brisbane Living Heritage, on Democracy Manifest, a fascinating walk through Fortitude Valley exploring the people, places and events behind one of Australia's most recognisable moments.

You'll never look at the Valley in quite the same way again.

Saturday 29 August

Bookings essential.

This morning our Executive Officer Anna spoke to media to highlight QLD Road Safety Week alongside RACQ,
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and Sarah Group. We spoke to media about the 107 people who will die on our roads and roadside as a result of dangerous and distracted driving. We have already lost 19 of our loved ones who were walking and died. Crashes and road trauma are avoidable. Let’s not normalise deaths and injuries. We call for zero harm.
Our call is to drive safely, improve the conditions for walking, and make informed choices about the safety of vehicles.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗢𝘂𝘁. 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆! It's time to lace up your shoes and celebrate Queensland Walks Month 2026, our state-wide celebration of walking, running, rolling and strolling.

This year's theme '𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗢𝘂𝘁. 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆' has us thinking about all the benefits of walking beyond the physical. Walking provides a social connection from bumping into your neighbours or walking to your local library and the mental wellbeing perks of that breath of fresh air or spotting a native creature.🐞🦘🐨

Have you walked or run the newest bridge at the Sunshine Coast? We can't wait to test out the latest offering by Sunshine Coast Council and Stockland. The landmark $27 million Birtinya Pedestrian Bridge will connect future transit users and stretches 30 metres across Lake Kawana, creating a direct connection between Sportsmans Parade, near Venue 114, and the future Stockland Birtinya Central Town Centre.

At Queensland Walks we know that every one dollar spent on walking infrastructure provides a $13 return. That makes all investment in walking, running, rolling and strolling a fabulous investment. Well done on getting this done, and we can't wait to test it out.
