Best weekend getaways destinations Brisbane, Cairns

Weekend Getaways Brisbane

Brisbane is a city for the senses; walking under impossibly blue skies around this foot-friendly city opens up a world of experiences. A well planned series of paths and bridges connect the city centre to South Bank, as well as many of our urban villages that tease the river's edge as it bends the city, its parks and gentle skyscrapers.

The ever-busy baristas fill the air with an irresistible temptation that is hard to escape and the mix of welcome visitors and the business set create a lively thoroughfare through the Queen Street Mall - Queensland's largest retail precinct with over 700 specialty shops, restaurant, cinemas and live music. There is also the constant spectacle of an array of outdoor festivals, events and attractions created for Brisbane's famous sub-tropical weather. Yet, for a real Brisbane experience, you must see what's on at our buzzing urban villages.

Under an hour from the heart of Brisbane is the aquatic playground
of Moreton Bay and Islands and the World Heritage-listed Scenic Rim - explore for a day, a short break or a longer escape

Adelaide is just a cycle away from native bushland hiking in the Mt Lofty Ranges. The city makes an excellent base for trips into the nearby wine regions, surf lessons on Fleurieu Peninsula and hikes through the wildlife lair of Kangaroo Island!
