11 days in Brisbane Itinerary

Queensland’s biggest town and state capital, Brisbane has an attractive, manicured image based around its riverside aesthetic as well as the contrast between its high-rise center and extensive urban greenery.

Venture out of the city with trips to Maleny (McCarthy's Lookout & Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World), Sea World Theme Park (in Main Beach) and Kondalilla Falls (in Montville). The adventure continues: look for all kinds of wild species at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Australia Zoo, walk around Roma Street Parkland, and get in on the family fun at Warner Bros. Movie World.
