Brisbane

in a whole new way

Brisbane

adventure around every corner

Welcome to Brisbane, Australia’s sunniest city and the ultimate base camp for your Queensland tour. Bathed in brilliant blue skies, this city is built for the open air—perfect for enjoying a pre-match craft beer or world-class dining against a stunning riverside backdrop. 

For those seeking an adrenaline hit, take on the Story Bridge Adventure Climb for a breath taking panorama of the skyline, or grab a paddle for a night-time kayak along the city’s glittering reach. If you prefer a more measured pace, cruise the river on a classic paddle steamer or head to South Bank to soak up the culture at the world-renowned Queensland Art Gallery. 

Brisbane is a city of distinct “urban villages,” each with its own grit and personality. Venture beyond the CBD to discover the hidden bars of Fortitude Valley, the boutique shopping of James Street, or the lush trails of Mount Coot-tha. 

The locals are as friendly as they come, and while the city’s vibe is infectious, it’s also the perfect springboard for legendary road trips to the Gold Coast or the tropical islands beyond.
