BRISBANE
Location
Brisbane is located approx 1234km from Sydney and 1700km from Cairns. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland; it is also Australia’s 3rd largest city.
The Region
Brisbane is a diverse city - a green city with a perfect climate. It is a growing city with one of the fastest growing economies in Australia. It is a city of many small quirks from having our very own style of building (the ‘Queenslander’) to creating a swimming beach right in the middle of our CBD.
Brisbane is a city that has grown from a regional hub on the Brisbane River to one of the most popular and vibrant cities in Australia.
For shopaholics there’s the heritage listed arcades and 700 specialty stores of the Queen Street Mall. Unique and funky shopping precincts can also be found in the bustling urban villages that ring the beautiful city centre. Gourmet connoisseurs will adore the fresh contemporary restaurants of the city and the local award-winning wine from the nearby Scenic Rim. For culture-vultures a trip to the south side of the river is a must. There you can indulge in magnificent food and coffee, catch an award-winning show or soak up some sophistication at a world-class art gallery or museum. And if you like your music loud and live, groove the night away at a hip bar or funky club at one of the city’s thriving entertainment precincts.
