This sleepy capital of Queensland, Australia, is much ignored by visitors. Internationally notable for its proximity to the Gold Coast (surfing and partying central) and the Sunshine Coast (beautiful scenery and beaches unlike anywhere else on the eastern coast of Australia), the city is a great place to stopover on the way up to Rockhampton, Cairns, or Fraser Island. However, Brisbane has its delights and attractions too, particularly for the adventurous visitor.
