Where to go
Brisbane and Australia’s vast array of attractions make car hire essential for those wanting to make the most of their time on the island.

Nearby Brisbane Airport
Nature lovers will be left in awe at Brisbane’s beautiful surroundings and they can get even closer to the wild by taking a whale watching trip from the city, taking them into the breathtaking open ocean. Bribie Island, a spectacular island of white sand and crystal clear waters, is also just 40 miles away.
Longer drives
Based off the stunning Gold Coast, North Stradbroke Island makes for a fantastic trip. It’s three hours from Brisbane, but it’s magical atmosphere and incredible views make it more than worthwhile. Elsewhere, Warwick is two hours away and serves up some of the most delightful brisket available in the country.
Eating and drinking
Brisbane’s food scene has grown rapidly in recent years, with dishes from all over the world on offer. Whether you're looking for the Australian meals or international recipes, there is plenty to choose from. There are some excellent bars, too, serving cocktails from across the world.
Things to do
The Brisbane River is one of the city’s most popular attractions and it’s easy to see why. Providing glorious views and a peaceful atmosphere, a boat trip across the water should not be missed. Visitors should make sure they visit the Gallery of Modern Art, too, where fascinating exhibitions for the whole family await.
Sightseeing
Brisbane is simply delightful to look at and the best place to see it is the Mount Coot-tha Lookout. Travellers can see the entire city centre from this vantage point and there’s a wonderful restaurant, too. If you feel up to the task, an adventure climb on the Story Bridge is also both awe-inspiring and exhilarating.
