Brisbane
is Australia's third largest city and the state capital of Queensland.
Not so long ago, the rest of Australia considered it little
more than an overgrown country town, but it has shirked off
this unwelcome reputation to become one of the country's most
progressive centres. Since playing host to a string of major
international events in the 80s, including the 1982 Commonwealth
Games and Expo '88, Brisbane has developed into a lively, cosmopolitan
city with several interesting districts, a good street cafe
scene, a great riverside park, a busy cultural calendar and
decent nightlife.
Queensland's growing tourism industry has brought an influx
of visitors to the capital, and with its near-perfect climate
year-round, Brisbane comes as a pleasant surprise to most visitors.
The city is also surrounded by some of the state's major tourist
destinations, and there are plenty of options for daytrips.
