7 day forecast »
Brisbane has shucked its reputation as a backwater and emerged as one of the country's most progressive centers. It has several interesting districts, a good street cafe scene, a great riverside park, a busy cultural calendar and a thriving nightlife.
Known locally as Bris Vegas, the city is renowned for its sun and the brash, glitzy hordes that follow it, but it's also a thriving arts capital, with dozens of theatres, cinemas, concert halls, galleries and museums. A climate this good and culture too? It must be paradise.

From USD $210.13
Explore the unique area of Fraser Island. Spend time on the world's most beautiful highway, stroll along the palm and fern studded banks of Wanggoolba Creek, visit the lakes Mckenzie or Birrabeen and take a dip.
Suggested Itineraries: Brisbane
On Australia Day (January 26), Kangaroo Point hosts cockroach races. Brisbane's major festival of the arts, the outdoor Brisbane Riverfestival, is held over two weeks in mid-September.
There's also a 12-day international film festival in July/August, Tropfest's short film telecast live at South Bank in late February, and a biennial music festival every second June (odd years). Also in June, in even-numbered years, kids get their moment at the Out of the Box festival, a week of performances, workshops, art and games all designed to excite and enthrall 3-8 year olds.
