This is a city where the outdoors is always part of the narrative. Where urban lifestyle celebrates nature, its people, and the winding river that binds it all together. This is Brisbane’s story.
In Brisbane, you’ll feel energised. It’s the River City’s ability to blend the outdoors with the indoors; the constant pops of green and the connectedness with the river.
The river that winds past world-class art galleries and the cultural precinct, overlooked by chef-hatted restaurants and breweries nestled alongside, where you can while away the hours with friends. The same river you can cruise down and enter Moreton Bay, home to North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands.
It’s the energy of Brisbane that has seen hotels, restaurants and precincts like Howard Smith Wharves pop up feverishly in recent years. With Queens Wharf still to come, Brisbane’s skyscape is ever-changing, and the nights are as energetic as the days.
Countering this is the constant of the national parks and the Scenic Rim, stoically standing in the background, reminding visitors that Brisbane’s backbone is nature, and always will be.
Queensland is more than its capital city. On the Gold Coast you can’t help but feel enlivened: enlivened by the environment, and by the vibrancy of this coastal playground and the personality of its precincts.
In Cairns you’ll feel refreshed. It’s a place packing all the trimmings you expect of a city, but one with the dual UNESCO World Heritage wonders of the Great Barrier Reef on its front step, and Daintree Rainforest out back.
