Brisbane

Brisbane could easily be described in one word – warm. Australia’s northernmost state capital, it’s warm by virtue of its sub-tropical location and warm because of its people.

Disarmingly sophisticated yet paradoxically relaxed, Brisbane, located in Queensland’s south east corner, provides the perfect lifestyle. It has something for everyone. Known as Australia’s new world city, Brisbane leads the nation in innovation and discovery yet embraces a down-to-earth attitude that welcomes visitors with open arms.

With nearly 2 million local Brisbanites, the city is alive with attractions and things to see and do. Flanked on two sides by one of Australia’s busiest working rivers – The Brisbane River, the city is shaded and cooled by tropical vegetation which seemingly covers the town like a green umbrella.

The pace is gentle and informal, while the city buzzes and rolls with industry and commerce. Warm summer breezes from the Pacific Ocean sweep across the city and wash the air with the fresh scent of the sea. Dotted with museums of all styles, galleries covering a diverse range of art and a food-lover’s booty of fabulous restaurants, clubs and bars, the city can be a very tempting place. The locals call it paradise yet some even refer to their own town as Bris Vegas as there’s just so much fun to have during the day and late into night.

But a short drive from the centre of town has you lying on some of Australia’s best beaches or pushing an SUV to its limits in the 4WD hotspots. Scenic drives and magic camping spots in the mountains or along the rivers or in the lush rain forests provide just a few of the many options if you’re the outdoors type looking for an escape.

But back in town after a day’s exploring the shops, markets or festivals, a wind down over a drink and dinner in one of the city’s fine hotels or restaurants might just be the thing for you. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Brisbane. There’s always a very warm welcome there.
