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.

We've included these beaches for you: Surfers Paradise Beach and Burleigh Heads Beach. Venture out of the city with trips to Caloundra (Kings Beach & Shelly Beach), James Overall Park (in Southport) and Australia Zoo (in Beerwah). Spend the 17th (Sat) exploring the fascinating underwater world at Sea World Theme Park. There's much more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, stroll through Mooloolaba Beach, explore the activities along The Brisbane River, and examine the collection at Queensland Museum & Sciencentre.
