Brisbane, otherwise known as Meanjin by the local First Nations peoples, is the perfect place to anchor your exploration of South East Queensland. Smack bang in the middle of both the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, a simple day trip from Brisbane will unlock some of Australia's most iconic holiday experiences. Let's not discount the city centre, either. From the bustling restaurants in South Bank to the eclectic art galleries in West End, shopping on Queen Street Mall and Fortitude Valley's vibrant nightlife, the Brisbane River (aka the brown snake) wraps this growing city up in a neat little bow. If you're hitting Brissy up for the first time, come and chat with the Flight Centre Travel Experts. Our Brisbane holiday packages cater to all needs so you can make the most of your time in Queensland's shining capital.
