BRISBANE

Australia’s subtropical city, where riverside ease meets creative pulse.

Overview
Brisbane is a city that dances in the sunlight. Built along a looping river, its blend of historic charm and modern innovation makes it a Queensland gem. Think open-air markets, rooftop bars, curated art galleries and riverfront cycling paths. Whether you’re cruising the river or exploring mountain lookouts, Brisbane offers a relaxed but lively base for your Australian travels.

See and Do

The local favourite
South Bank is Brisbane’s cultural and recreational heart. Relax on the man-made beach, browse galleries like QAGOMA, or take a spin on the Wheel of Brisbane, all against a skyline backdrop and tropical gardens.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Climb to Mount Coot-tha Lookout for panoramic views across the city to Moreton Bay. Then explore the Botanic Gardens below, home to native rainforest walks and planetarium shows.

Adventures in nature
Take a day trip to Moreton Island, only 75 minutes from the city, yet a world away. Snorkel shipwrecks, sandboard giant dunes, or hand-feed wild dolphins at sunset. For wildlife closer to town, cuddle a koala at Lone Pine Sanctuary, the world’s oldest.
