Visit Queensland
Sun-soaked Brisbane still has traces of friendly, country hospitality underneath the cultural vibe of urban life yet also offers the visitor a striking city centre. Here, countless restaurants, theatres and cafés spill happily onto the streets, barely contained by the looping flow of the Brisbane River. The rolling hills that surround the city give a number of viewpoints, while the region contains some of the country’s finest tropical rainforest, reaching out to a string of glorious beaches washed by the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. This place of week-round ‘sun-days’ boasts great weather, exciting sporting events, a thriving arts and cultural scene and casual, yet sophisticated dining.
