BRISBANE CITY

Brisbane has often been regarded a sleepy capital city compared to Sydney and Melbourne. Some travellers find the Queensland lifestyle a welcome change and discover the secrets and beauties of the town fun to draw out. Others may find the life a little slow after the fast pace of Sydney and Melbourne. In any case it's a fantastic base for visiting islands off the coast and superb rainforests. But spare a few days for the city. Interesting areas include Fortitude Valley, New Farm, West End and Paddington for vibrant street life, snug little cafes and interesting old Queensland houses. In the inner city are some lovely parklands and Botanic Gardens and South Bank which hosts numerous weekend events and a man made beach. River Cats (ferries) and bike/walking tracks make the city explorable from the river.
