| Besides being a starting point for the extensive and unique sights neighboring Brisbane, the city itself hosts a rich and active cultural scene. With everything from the Museum of Brisbane, the QUT Art Museum and the City Botanic Gardens, to wildlife sanctuaries, river cruises and festivals, Brisbane is bountiful with electrifying attractions. 
Just an hour drive south are the famous golden beaches of the Gold Coast. With its selection of world-class theme parks, amazing wildlife (both day and night), magnificent sub-tropical rainforest, it's a great place to meet Aussies at play. One hour's drive north, the Sunshine Coast boasts miles of unspoiled beaches and the quaint township of Noosa. Camping, bush walking and four-wheel driving the unique contrasts of Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, are a must for the adventure seekers.
