Brisbane
- City of "Sun Days"!
As Queensland’s capital, Brisbane has its own savvy downtown precinct, which serves as a destination in its own right
or as the perfect hub for exploring spectacular Moreton Bay, beaches, or many regional hinterland attractions found inside
a leisurely 60-minute drive. Brisbane’s active yet relaxed way of life fits with the many of things to see and
do in and around the city.
There’s simply no better place in Queensland to indulge in some serious retail therapy. Start in
the Queen Street Mall – almost a kilometre of shoppers’ paradise. Then stroll along to the City’s chic shopping strips and
arcades before heading to The Valley where you’ll find the edgiest young designs around.
South Bank’s new Arbour on Grey should be next on your shopping list. Downtown’s outdoor markets are a weekend pleasure not to be missed. If you can’t find
what you’re shopping for in downtown Brisbane, it simply doesn’t exist!
You’ll need at least a month to check out all of
downtown’s nightlife, from bars and pubs to nightclubs and live music venues. The city isn’t known as "Brisvegas"
for nothing!
The downtown dining menu is hearty and satisfying and some of Australia’s most awarded chefs can be found in
the kitchens downtown. Just choose your cuisine, budget, view, pace, style and flavour.
When it comes to culture, it’s all in a day’s play – musicals, live theatre, galleries, museums, even guided walking tours of downtown’s historical sites.
And while there's plenty to keep you going in downtown Brisbane, you should also spread your wings a little. Within 60
minutes, so much is so close: from beaches and islands, to hinterland and country, to parks and wildlife just to name a few.
