45 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 appreciate attractions like South Bank Parklands and Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Get out of town with these interesting Brisbane side-trips: Maleny (Gerrards Lookout, McCarthy's Lookout, &more), Main Beach (Sea World Theme Park, Anthea Polson Art, &more) and Montville (Artworks in Clay by Anne Gentry-Smith & Kondalilla Falls). Pack the 22nd (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Dreamworld. Spend the 23rd (Sun) exploring nature at Glass House Mountains National Park. And it doesn't end there: take some stellar pictures from Mount Coot-Tha Summit Lookout, shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour, take in nature's colorful creations at Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt. Coot-tha, and get in on the family fun at Warner Bros. Movie World.
