Possibilities are endless in Brisbane, a stunning Australian city that allows virtually any type of vacation, whether based on outdoor adventures, experiencing fine cuisine and absorbing culture, or interacting with exotic wildlife. Anything you can dream as part of your vacation can potentially be reality while visiting Brisbane, and your only difficult choice is what to do next.
Since you’re visiting Australia, perhaps you’d prefer some time interacting with exotic animals; Brisbane is an ideal location for such a pursuit. Off the city’s coast you can engage in whale watching and dolphin watching, while if you’re interested in wildlife with a distinctly Australian feel, visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary – the world’s largest, oldest home of Koalas. Other attractions offer in-depth views of flora and fauna; O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk allows you to cross the forest canopy via rope-and-wood-plank bridges, while the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha offers guided tours and informational sessions on local plant life at a relaxed pace.
If relaxation isn’t your cup of tea, however, there are plenty of activities in Brisbane to get your adrenaline levels flowing. Visit the North Stradbroke Island Surf School and hit the waves before you know it. Or take the family to the Story Bridge Adventure Climb, in which climbers trek to the top of a bridge 80 meters above the Brisbane river. If you’re truly a seeker of thrills, visit the Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park, where you can abseil down the steep cliff faces – if you’ve brave enough!
Accommodation Brisbane also offers many chances to take in your fair share of culture and cuisine; visit 5ifth Element for the largest wine selection in Australia, or take the short drive from the Brisbane city center to Manly Harbour Village, and dine on delectable fresh seafood straight from Moreton Bay. Cap your time off in Brisbane with some culture; visit the Gallery of Modern Art – the largest modern art museum in Australia – or see a show by the renowned Queensland Theatre Company.
Whatever you want your vacation to be, Brisbane has your answer in the land down under.
