Brisbane - Queensland

Capital of the Sunshine State and the hub of Southern Queensland, Brisbane enjoys a warm subtropical climate most of the year.

A relaxed modern city of 1.5 million people, Brisbane hasn`t forgotten its rich colonial heritage, with many original buildings sitting next to the modern. From Brisbane you can tour the rolling hills, rainforests and mountain lakes of the Southern Queensland hinterland.

Brisbane, on the picturesque Brisbane River, is Australia`s only sub tropical capital city. There are award winning restaurants, great Aussie pubs, and al fresco cafes to soak up the sunshine. Buskers are often found in the Queen Street Mall shopping precinct.

Wildlife Sanctuaries - take your pick. Lone Pine, Alma Park Zoo and the Australian Woolshed, all close to the city, make Brisbane the undisputed koala capital of Australia. Join in the country fun at the Australian Woolshed. Watch sheep shearing, enjoy good old-fashioned Aussie tucker and a bush dance just 20 minutes from the city.

Set your compass in any direction as Brisbane lies at the heart of the most diverse and popular holiday regions of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Brisbane is the perfect place to begin exploring the highlights of Southern Queensland.
