Brisbane

The cool and casual capital of Queensland offers all the glitz and glam of a big city without the big city airs. Located on the banks of the Brisbane River and surrounded by rolling hills, this urban oasis sure is easy on the eyes. Whether you're headed uptown, downtown or out of town, you'll be sure to encounter your fair share of first-ever experiences. Scale the legendary Story Bridge, take a sandboarding tour on North Stradbroke Island. Or if you'd like to connect with your inner Aussie, try your hand at sheep shearing at the Australian Woolshed.

Attractions

If finding furry Australian natives is on your to-do list, take a tour of the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary - it's the largest in the world. Here you can spend some quality time with the resident kangaroos and even cuddle a koala.

Currency

The local currency used in Brisbane is the Australian Dollar (AUD).
