Streets Beach sits at the heart of Brisbane's South Bank, and it has a genuine claim to fame. It's the only man-made, inner-city beach in Australia. Lifeguards patrol every day of the year, but there are no rips, and the sharks are strictly elsewhere.

The lagoon holds 2.7 million litres of chlorinated water, filtered and circulated every six hours. The 4,000 cubic metres of sand underfoot came from Moreton Island. The name comes courtesy of Streets Ice Cream, which means an ice cream brand has its name on a beach.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours use Streets Beach to trace how South Bank was transformed from an industrial precinct into Brisbane's most popular recreational space, drawing on the area's layered history to explain what the city chose to keep, change and invent.
