Australia – Brisbane

Brisbane, a vibrant and youthful place located at Southern Queensland, is the third largest city of Australia. Cutting dramatically through lush coastal plains, the Brisbane River coils like a snake around the cosmopolitan chic of Queensland's unique sub-tropical capital. Riverside walkways trace the banks of the city’s serpentine river and weave through parks and onto inviting dining terraces shaded by the city’s shiny modern towers.

Downtown is not only the place to be it’s also the centrepoint for discovering all of Southern Queensland from Brisbane’s shorefront of Moreton Bay sprinkled with islands to the valleys and historic towns of the nearby countryside with wine and art trails to explore, or the region’s collection of theme parks and attractions. Some of Australia’s best beaches are just over an hour away in the popular holiday strips of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
