Brisbane is the sunniest state capital in Australia, with a warm subtropical climate that fosters casual, relaxed cultures and lifestyles. It is a city of colonial and modern architectures, parks, picnics, arts and festivals, and of river scenes and bridges.
To the east lies Moreton Bay, with its numerous islands, beaches, and aquatic activities. Fast freeways connect the spectacular rainforests, mountain and coastal regions of the neighbouring Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
A vast range of sightseeing options and activities await visitors. However, as always, the best way to acquaint yourself, and cultivate a feel for the city, is by taking a tour or two. Brisbane Urban Adventures conduct walk and bus tours of the CBD while Veolia Transport offer a city sights coach tour.
Another option is a relaxing sightseeing cruise with River City Cruises, seeing the riverside and skyline from different perspectives. Yet another, for the more adventurous, is a climb over the Storey Bridge.
A day trip to Tangalooma is an experience, departing downriver by catamaran from the CBD, to enjoy a huge variety of activities on the island. Hand feeding the friendly dolphins, is the day’s highlight, a lifetime memory. 4WD excursions by Bushwacker Tours offer informative eco-escapes to the coastal and rainforest habitats of the region.
Feed wallabies and kangaroos, cuddle a koala and see close-range action with crocs at Crocodile Hunter’s Australia Zoo, by crikey! It is a thrill for animal lovers, a must do adventure. Queensland’s largest oceanarium and aquarium, UnderWater World, is another not-to-be-missed attraction, a spellbinding display of thousands of sea critters. Ask us about our special packages.
