Brisbane, capital of Queensland, Australia's 'Sunshine State', greets visitors with a warm and friendly welcome. Brisbane is Australia's only sub tropical capital city. Sophisticated yet friendly, Brisbane is a year round city that enjoys warm, bright summers and clear mild winters. Brisbane's warm climate and endless sunny days deliver an outdoor lifestyle like no other. Bike paths and riverside walkways make walking, cycling and rollerblading around downtown a scenic delight. Alive with lush parks, tropical gardens and with its own inner city beach, downtown Brisbane offers the perfect refuge for locals and visitors alike.

Brisbane's surrounding regions boast a feast of spectacular experiences. Refresh in World Heritage listed rainforest, laze on sun-drenched beaches, explore the untouched charm of country towns, head south to the Gold Coast or north to the Sunshine Coast (home to the Crocodile Hunter), cuddle koalas or hand feed dolphins in the wild … all within an hour of downtown. Convenient access to a complete range of Queensland destinations makes Brisbane the perfect launch pad to a host of other world-renowned attractions including the Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef … all on Brisbane's doorstep.
