Melbourne, Mar 19: Brisbane is a city with something for everyone. A perfect base for touring and general sight-seeing, a business centre with all modern conveniences, and a holiday destination in its own right.
As the capital city of Queensland, Australia`s Sunshine State, Brisbane offers a relaxed cosmopolitan lifestyle. With a delightful mild, subtropical climate, Brisbane does not experience the extremes of temperature characterised by more tropical destinations.
There is a huge amount to see in Brisbane, with its historically significant buildings complemented by modern developments in the CBD. Or take a tour to one of the little known Bay Islands, which offer all the relaxation and leisure activities of more popular island resorts, yet at a fraction of the price of many destinations, and all on the doorstep of this well-equipped capital city. Check out the South Bank Parklands (previously the site of World Expo 88, and since redeveloped)
Or cuddle a koala at Lone Pine Sanctuary, take a bargain priced river cruise on one of Brisbane City Council`s River Cats, or why not spoil yourself at one of hundreds of restaurants offering any cuisine imaginable - get some fresh Queensland seafood and a bottle of chilled dry white from Stanthorpe, the wine growing region only a couple of hours drive from Brisbane.
