Moreton Bay - Brisbane - Queensland - Australia

Famous for its great weather, exciting events and cultural scene, Brisbane has a sophisticated, warm and friendly charm, which will more than surprise.

Brisbane is the State Capital of Queensland and is one of those rare cities built around people and lifestyle.
The sub-tropical climate, with bright sunny days and balmy nights, is reflected in the warm welcome visitors receive from the million or so people who live in the greater Brisbane area.

Within an hour of the city centre are the fishing and sailing waters of Moreton Bay, scenic country drives, and the beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

Inner CityIn the vibrant city centre, glass office towers and sandstone heritage buildings share broad, tree-lined streets or front the river. Alfresco cafes, parks, riverside walks and the central pedestrian mall give the city a very human scale.

The most spectacular way to discover Brisbane is from 80 metres above the Brisbane River. Take a Story Bridge Adventure Climb at Kangaroo Point and you’ll be exhilarated by the panorama of Brisbane and it’s surrounding natural beauty. After the two and a half hour climb to the very top of the iconic Story Bridge, the breathtaking view is all the reward you need.
