Brisbane
Queensland's river capital is sunny, green and refreshingly unhurried, built around a wide bend of the Brisbane River. Stroll the lagoon and rainforest walk at South Bank, cuddle a koala at Lone Pine, the world's oldest koala sanctuary, then ride a CityCat ferry past the skyline to Story Bridge. The coast and the hinterland both sit a short hop away, which makes Brisbane a natural base. Set the pace yourself with a private charter day tour, arrange an airport transfer on arrival, and sort your tickets in advance.
