A flight to Brisbane brings you to Australia’s Sunshine State capital. This prosperous, cosmopolitan city is the gateway to incredible diving on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef.
Soak up culture on Brisbane’s South Bank where you’ll find the Queensland Museum and Queensland Art Gallery as well as the state’s leading arts venue, the Performing Arts Centre. Mix with the locals while you shop at Queen Street Mall.
Away from the crowds, discover the 28,500-hectare Brisbane Forest Park – an area of natural bushland which starts just 10km from the city centre. It is home to the beautiful 52-hectare Brisbane Botanic Gardens, a 1.5km Aboriginal Art Trail and Walkabout Creek where you can see a resident platypus along with lizards and turtles.
Brisbanites are seriously keen on their food so expect to dine out in style in Brisbane. Book well in advance to sample E’cco’s legendary desserts or dine al fresco in riverfront restaurants along Eagle Street Pier and enjoy uninterrupted views of the Brisbane River, Story Bridge and Kangaroo Point cliffs. |
