Located in the east coast of Australia, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, which has the reputation of "Sunshine State". It is famous for its beautiful waterfront scenery and leisurely pace of life. Ride the Brisbane River on the city ferry, stroll through the leafy South Bank parks, nap at Westende's cafe, and visit the Lone Cypress Koala Sanctuary to get up close and personal with koalas. The scenery around Brisbane is also fascinating, with the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Fraser Island, Moreton Island and other destinations offering unique travel experiences.
