Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and the third biggest town in Australia. In the past Brisbane's bigger town cousins felt the city couldn't contend with them for culture, dining and nightlife but all that has changed.
Brisbane is now growing quicker than any other major city and with the city is constantly adding more for entertainment, fantastic dining and a great live music scene in the inner city area of Fortitude Valley. It also has one of the finest climate of any capital in Australia.
The sub-tropical climate means it is warm throughout the year with mild, dry winters. The city enjoys over three hundred days of sunlight a year and as a consequence the town makes efficient use of the outside and the brook that wraps round the town.
Getting Around: Once you are in Brisbane it's best if you hire a campervan to visit everything. Otherwise an alternative choice is that it's easy to get around the central areas by foot or public transport. The public transport is operated using the moniker of TransLink and permits the use of a single ticket for bus, rail and ferry. Ensure you explore the stream using the fast and smooth City Moggy catamaran ferries.
If you are staying in the CBD itself or near the brook precinct of Southbank then you will be able to explore much of the centre easily by foot. The CBD area of the city is reasonably compact. Nonetheless if you need to get farther away from the centre then Brisbane stretchs out a good distance and you might find vehicle rental a good option.
There are numerous Brisbane auto rental firms to select from including all of the massive names and a number of local reduced cost operators. A note of caution. If you select a cheap car rental firm then read the small print in fine detail. 2 the firms charge admin and other costs in the event you cause damages to the car and hide this in reams of details on the contract.
What to do: Brisbane has plenty to do but here are 1 or 2 suggestions to get you started.
- Explore the river thru the City Cat ferries. Stand on the front or rear outside sections to get the best perspectives of the multi million dollar riverfront homes and flats along the brook .
- Visit Southbank on the other side of the brook to the city .
- Visit the eat street areas of the inner city suburbs of West End, Paddington and Oxford Street in Bulimba.
- Shop on the Queen Street Mall which features a big selection of stores including department shops Myer and David Jones.
- Play a game of bare-foot bowls at Merthyr Bowls Club on Oxlade Drive in New Farm. Access is straightforward through the Citycat ferry using the New Farm Parklands stop.
- Head to Moreton Bay and take a ferry over to North Stradbroke Island, one of the biggest sand islands in the world and home to some great beaches.
