Why Brisbane?
Brisbane is Queensland's relaxed and sunny capital, where it is easy to build a trip around the river, parks and beaches.
Spend time at South Bank and ride a CityCat along the river. Galleries and markets fill the quieter hours. Moreton Island, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are all close enough for a beach day.
