6 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Brisbane side-trips: Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary (in Currumbin), Boat Tours & Water Sports (in Mooloolaba) and Sea World Theme Park (in Main Beach). There's lots more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, take some stellar pictures from McCarthy's Lookout, admire the natural beauty at Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt. Coot-tha, and explore the activities along The Brisbane River.
