Why Brisbane?
Brisbane, the Sunniest Capital of Australia
Brisbane is a city that lives up to its sunny potential with a strong focus on the outdoors - think al fresco dining, picnics by the river, islands just off the coast and national parks. Add to this a dynamic cultural precinct, abundant wildlife and easy access to nearby icons like the Gold Coast and Great Barrier Reef, and you've got a destination you can't say no to.
