OverviewPage 2
Gateway city
Why Brisbane
- Gateway to the east coast trail north toward Cairns and south to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay
- Warm subtropical climate year-round — swimmable weather most of the year
- South Bank Parklands offer a free artificial beach, pools, and cultural precinct in the city centre
Queensland's capital is a warm, laid-back city that serves as the gateway to the east coast trail north. Often overlooked in favour of its flashier neighbours, Brisbane has quietly become one of Australia's most liveable cities with a thriving food scene, free riverside attractions, and easy access to islands and hinterland. It is noticeably cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne for accommodation and food.
