Brisbane
September 12th 2006 07:08
Brisbane is the capital of the state and is situated on the Brisbane River which winds it's way from the the hills area to Moreton Bay. Moreton Bay has a number of islands, which will be featured later in this blog, many of them being sandy spots only visible at low tide. If you are going to visit Brisbane, you are best staying near the city, as there are great rail links that take you to some of the best tourist spots in the south east of the state. There are a variety of hotels, motels, and B & B's close to the city and range from budget to higher priced boutique hotels. The choice is yours. It is always a good idea to check with Wotif for great accomodation deals if you are booking accomodation for yourself.
If you are arriving by air, the terminal is well serviced by taxi's and shuttle buses, but one way to go to the city is by airtrain, which takes you right into the heart of the city. There are hotels right close to the train stations, so it could be an easy walk from the station to your hotel, should you choose.
The airtrain gives you a fantastic view of the area between the airport and the city, including through some of the older suburbs with their traditional high set Queensland houses. There is much to do in and around the city, so we'll start there on the tour of Brisbane. I'll point out some of the great places to shop, eat, and do whatever touristy activity you desire.
The Town Hall is a great place to start. On the ground floor of this magnificent building is the Brisbane Museum - a great place to stop and learn about the history of the city.
