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.

Kids will enjoy South Bank Parklands and Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Change things up with these side-trips from Brisbane: Dreamworld (in Coomera), Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary (in Currumbin) and Main Beach (Sea World Theme Park & Anthea Polson Art). There's lots more to do: find something for the whole family at Warner Bros. Movie World, contemplate the waterfront views at The Brisbane River, admire the natural beauty at Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World, and enjoy the sand and surf at Surfers Paradise Beach.

In January, plan for daily highs up to 34°C, and evening lows to 25°C.
