Travel Destinations

The capital City of Queensland is Brisbane, and the slogan for this part of Australia is ‘Beautiful one day, perfect the next’. Once a sunny northern getaway, Brisbane was considered to be a laid back destination compared to the southern capital cities of Sydney and Melbourne. Now it is a vibrant city full of modern facilities and plenty of activities to amuse even the fussiest of travellers. With a night life to occupy the party goers, to the many Arts and Cultural exhibitions, visitors and locals are equally impressed with what Brisbane has to offer. As a doorway to both the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast Brisbane makes for the perfect place to base yourself.

Brisbane is divided into North and South by the picturesque Brisbane River that was once used as the lifeline for the city. The north side still resembles the Brisbane of old with many of its suburbs featuring the ‘Queenslander’ style homes. The south side has taken on modern growth with a number of suburbs still maintaining the olden day charm.

Southbank is just across the river from the CBD and can be accessed by City Cats and ferries, or a walking bridge. It offers visitors many opportunities to experience cultural events and also the laid back atmosphere of a man made beach in the middle. There is also the Queensland Museum and the Queensland Library that are within walking distance. Southbank also offers some fantastic dining options and many grassy areas to just sit down and enjoy the sunshine. With weekend markets to browse you may just find yourself a bargain.
