Brisbane

Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, is midway up the east coast of Australia - With the Gold Coast to the south and the Sunshine Coast to the north, domestic and international airports, Brisbane is an ideal headquarters for an Australian holiday.

Famous for its great weather and exciting events and cultural scene, Brisbane has a sophisticated, warm and friendly charm that will more than surprise. As Queensland's vibrant Capital City, Brisbane offers the very best in food, wine, arts entertainment and major sporting events with relaxed sub-tropical flair.

Brisbane is also centre of a region rich in world class beach, river, rainforest and mountain experiences. Just one hour's drive from the intoxicating delights of the sub-tropical cityscape, you will discover the lush country hinterland, mountains and forests of South East Queensland Country or bask in the blue waters and white sandy beaches of the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. Brisbane's own nearby aquatic playground, Moreton Bay and Islands, is the perfect place to indulge in your favourite water sport.
