BrisCatBrisbane is a modern and vibrant city, blessed with a subtropical climate of warm summers and cool, sunny winters. As the capital of Queensland, Brisbane is one of the most popular places to live in Australia.

The city is clean and safe, and is easy to travel around because of its comprehensive public transport system. Almost two million people live in Brisbane and its surrounding areas.

Brisbane is an hour’s drive from the world-famous Gold and Sunshine Coasts. The islands of Moreton Bay and Stradbroke are also nearby, and offer some of the world’s finest surfing beaches as well as a wide variety of water sports. The Great Barrier Reef and the Australian outback are within relatively easy reach of Brisbane. Sydney is just over an hour away by plane, and Melbourne is just two hours away by plane.
