Advantages: Lovely surrounds and lots of activities

Disadvantages: Heat

Brisbane is a live and vibrant city that as a English backpacker I fell in love with.
Unlike with it's rival city, Sydney, Brisbane is half it's size but has double the character.

When you step off the plane at the airport the heat immediately hits you but you don't seem to care. There's so much to do you don't have time to complain! There's the Koala Sanctury where you can cuddle a cute koala and feed a kangaroo, there's the beautiful botanic gardens and clean streets that have plenty of shops and restaurants.

Close by (and accessible via Central or Roma Street station) there's Surfer's Paradise which is backpacker and holiday maker central. It has some of the best waves in Queensland and is a great day out.

If you're a footy fan there's the AFL statium in Paddington that makes for a grand day out where your stay can be finished by taking in a meal at an authentic jazz cafe.

There's so much to this city that you can only find by visiting yourself. You'll go away very much in love.

Summary: Beautiful town in the heart of Queensland
