Mantra on Queen Brisbane

There are so many things to see and do in Brisbane. At the top of the list is the South Bank area, with its manmade beaches and lagoons, giant TV screens, markets and museums, the two botanic gardens are a must see. There's plenty of shopping to be done in the Queen Street mall, and Fortitude Valley ('The Valley') is home to some of the best nightlife and band culture.

A good way to get your bearings when you first arrive is to explore the city by foot, by river cruise or by a speedy ferry. Take in the sights and discover why the river is so central to Brisbane life. For a wider view, take a champagne breakfast balloon flight over the city, or join a day bus or 4WD tours.

For the outdoors types, head out to sea on a fishing charter, or set sail on a sailing tour or cruise of Moreton Bay and exploring nearby North Stradbroke and Moreton Island's beaches by 4WD is a must.
