Brisbane overview

Queensland’s state capital is Australia’s third-largest city. Visitors can join locals and see it all from the top of Mount Coot-tha or cruise the Brisbane River to South Bank’s sandy beach on the City Cat. For a different take on the city, explore Queensland culture at the new Gallery of Modern Art or get up close with a local at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, home to koalas and kangaroos. For a peek at the past, visit the Windmill and Old Commissariat Store, built by convicts in 1828.
