Brisbane

The capital of Queensland, Brisbane, is a sophisticated metropolis with an emerging food scene and exciting, up-and-coming cultural developments. With subtropical weather year round, this city is ideal if you love warm weather and want to meet other travelers heading north.

This city on the rise has much to offer: take a Grand Brisbane Tour for stunning views at Mt Coot-tha Lookout, visits to Moreton and Stradbroke islands, and see the cuddly koalas at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Try going on a relaxing cruise along the Brisbane River, the longest river in South East Queensland, or explore the fascinating 135-year-history of XXXX, Australia’s number one beer, in a fun brewery tour.
