Things to see and do in Brisbane
Brisbane is one of Australia’s most exciting cities, and there’s plenty to do and see both in town and throughout Queensland.
In Brisbane, one of the best things to do is simply explore the CBD. South Bank, the Story Bridge, the busy Queen Street Mall and the Myer Centre are all worth discovering, and the Gallery of Modern Art is one of the best in the country. And of course, no visit to Brisbane is complete without a visit to see the cuddly creatures at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Just out of the city is the scenic Mt Coot-tha Lookout, and if you’re keen to travel a little further, the drive north to the Sunshine Coast will add a gorgeous sun-soaked road trip to your Brisbane visit. Or, head south to discover the Gold Coast and its bustling night-life, theme parks, beaches and decadent dining scene.
