Exploring the sunshine city: A river cruise will be a great way to get into the Brisbane way and spot a few attractions you’ll want to head back and visit in more detail. For starters, there's Mt Coot-tha and the beauty of the botanical gardens. For some historical perspectives, there’s the Museum of Brisbane. And even in the city, the South Bank Parklands, Roma Street Parkland and Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park offer much-needed fresh air.
Autumn breeze: For the best of Brisbane, you find that autumn is the time to go. That’s March to May, the Southern Hemisphere’s autumn. It’s when the temperatures hover between the 50s and mid-80s, and as a bonus, there is little rainfall. As a note, Summers are hot and uncomfortable.
Getting around: You’ll find Brisbane a very accessible destination, with several options available to you. The public transport system is efficient and includes buses, ferries, trams and trains. A sightseeing cruise or bus tour is another convenient way to get around.
