Once you arrive in Brisbane, where do you start? There are endless activities to keep someone looking for an active trip happy.

Queensland Cultural Centre: For something more culture, explore the Queensland Cultural Centre across from the South Bank. It includes the city museum, theatre, art gallery and modern art gallery. Even if you don't visit the great attractions indoors, the river-side building itself is worth appreciating from the outside.

South Bank: South Bank, which was the site of the 1988 World Expo, is a thriving part of the city today. There is a beach, albeit artificial, and great parks, shops, cafés, restaurants and movie theatres. It's a popular place to hang out when the hot summer days roll around.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary: While many argue that there's more to visiting Australia than just kangaroos and koala bears, why not fit these furry creatures into your trip while you're there? Brisbane's koala sanctuary was the world's first and was founded in 1927 with just two bears. Today, there's more than 130. Hand-feed kangaroos and emus too!

Mount Coot-tha: Mount Coot-tha, while popular among couples for make-out parties, offers great views of the city. Don't miss the Mount Coot-tha Reserve while you're at it. On a clear day you can see Moreton Bay on one side and the majestic Glass House Mountains on the other.
