Brisbane is an ideal location for a holiday. This fast growing city is the capital of Queensland and is the third-largest city in Australia. Brisbane is blessed with an excellent year round climate featuring hot summer days and warm and sunny winters.

It’s hard to imagine Brisbane before South Bank was created. Everyone who visits South Bank tends to enjoy its sandy beach, grassy open areas, shops as well as the multitude of places to get something to eat. A perfect spot to take a stroll is Brisbane’s City Botanic Gardens where visitors will be surrounded by magnificent exotic plants whilst they wander along side the Brisbane River. Alternatively, experience the theme gardens and public artwork in Roma Street Parkland. If you can manage to spare an hour or so, take a drive up to the top of Mt Coot-tha and enjoy the view of Brisbane’s entire cityscape.

Animal lovers can see Australian wildlife up close at Lone Pine. Visitors will love the abundant and easily seen Australian wildlife and the opportunity to feed a kangaroo, hold a koala and so much more.

If you want to explore a little further-a-field whilst on your holiday, then arrange a day trip to many of Brisbane’s surrounding locations. The thriving city of Redcliffe, with its 22 kilometres of golden beaches and its breathtaking ocean views, has become a recreational paradise and a popular day trip destination. Another great day trip from Brisbane is to Tangalooma. Here visitors can enjoy activities such as hand feeding dolphins or speeding down sand hills on a toboggan.
