The Eastern Australian state of Queensland has the beautiful city of Brisbane as its capital. The hot humid summers and wet and cold winters are experiences by approximately 2,000,000 people.
High humidity has spoilt many a trip to this area, so the clever tourists make sure that they visit Brisbane is late summer/early Fall, mainly September. There is a lot of sporting activities to take part in, and the warm weather enables you to do this.
Here are a few suggestions of places you might like to visit when you take a vacation in Australia.
The region known as the Southbank is popular with residents and visitors alike. It is in the very heart of the city, and was the original site for EXPO 1988. A big draw for families is the playground for the children and the beach of artificial sand.
This has been painstakingly created to look exactly like the real thing, everything you would expect to see at the shore is here; minus crabs and jellyfish! The parade of restaurant, bars and shops are also appreciated by the visitors.
There is always some kind of entertaining or cultural event happening at the Southbank. If you enjoy dancing with a Latin flavor, join them in the streets on a Friday evening. There are several markets which are open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Leaving Brisbane behind, and driving in a Southerly direction for about 60 minutes, will bring you to the Gold Coast. A premier Australian resort; the people sure know how to party here!
This resort really has something for everyone, with its great array of attractions geared to all ages. The adults can top up their tan on the golden sands through the day, before trying their luck in the casinos by night. There are also a great choice of theme parks which will appeal to both children and thrill seekers.
There is so much to do and see here, that a mini break is highly recommended.
