Brisbane offers great weather, the arts, entertainment, cultural attractions, al-fresco dining as well as great shopping at the famed Queen Street mall.
A visit to the South Bank Precinct and a river cruise are enjoyable ways to spend time in Brisbane. Or for something different, join a climb to the top of the Story Bridge for some spectacular views of the river and Brisbane city.
Divided by the Brisbane River the city is located in the sub-tropics and the multi coloured trees and flora reflect this. With the many boardwalks on the river, the beautifully landscaped green parks and gardens as well as the Botanic Gardens makes the modern business district of the city stand out in contrast.
