Australia's New World City
Queensland’s biggest town and state capital, Brisbane has an attractive, manicured image based around its riverside aesthetic as well as the contrast between its high-rise center and extensive urban greenery.Explore hidden gems such as Maroochydore Beach and Burleigh Head National Park. Get outdoors at Kirra Beach and Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. Get out of town with these interesting Brisbane side-trips: Natural Bridge (in Springbrook), Maleny Dairies (in Maleny) and Spas & Wellness (in Maroochydore). There's much more to do: see some colorful creatures with a scuba or snorkeling tour, take in the views from Story Bridge, identify plant and animal life at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, and explore the world behind art at Queensland Art Gallery.
