World Expo '88 Official Map

A compact 40-hectare site on the southern banks of the Brisbane River, and immediately across from the Brisbane central business district, World Expo '88 had the convenience of an inner city Expo site with the beautiful and dramatic backdrop of the City's Brisbane River and skyscrapers. Nearly 100 Pavilions featured at the Expo, 52 Government Pavilions (national, state and city) with the remaining Pavilions being Corporate Pavilions.

A theme park "World Expo Park" featured adjacent to the Expo site, behind the railway line, which featured two stations, at the Expo's southern and northern entrances. A monorail also gave a scenic view of the Expo, with two stations, also at the south and north of the Expo site. The "World Expo on Stage" cultural program took place at the adjacent Queensland Cultural Centre, at map left.
