 About Brisbane


Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, and is widely known as the country's most liveable city. It is the fastest-growing capital, with a population of approximately 1.8 million and offers a safe, friendly, multicultural environment.

Clear skies, warm, sunny days and mild nights prevail and the semi-tropical ambience promotes an outdoor lifestyle. The inner city is characterised by the Brisbane River, parklands and botanical gardens, recreation areas, convention centres, museums, art galleries, a casino, shopping malls, and a host of cosmopolitan resturants and cafés.

The golden beaches and fun parks of the famous Gold Coast are just an hour's drive south.  The beautiful Sunshine Coast beaches lie a short drive to the north, along with imposing National Park rainforests and tourist attractions such as Australia Zoo. Other local wildlife parks also provide opportunities to view Australian native animals and birds.
