Brisbane Experiences
Shopping in Brisbane
Shop your way through Queensland’s capital and discover Brisbane’s CBD as a one-stop destination for everything you need and want. Explore over 700 stores along Queen Street Mall and over a thousand in the CBD, featuring everything from international stores to local boutiques and high-end labels.
Not just the place to find a bargain, Queen Street is also an entertainment precinct of the city. Music echoes through the streets with The City Sounds every weekend and the daily buskers. There are farmer’s markets selling fresh, local produce as well as Event Cinemas if you feel like catching a movie.
Fancy yourself a bit of a foodie? Then pay a visit to Brisbane’s Eat Street for an experience like no other. Over 70 food vendors gather in Northshore every weekend to create exotic and tasty dishes from all over the world. Sample a taste of Asia, Africa, or South America while you enjoy the live entertainment.
A city adventure
In the heart of Queensland’s capital city is a must-do Brisbane experience. There are only three bridge climbs in the entire world and one of them is The Story Bridge in Brisbane. The Story Bridge Adventure Climb has a relaxed approach to climbing and is easily achieved by any age or fitness level. Stand 80 metres above sea level and marvel at panoramic views of the bustling city all the way out to Moreton Bay in the east and Scenic Rim in the west. Make your way up the sturdy frame of the bridge alongside experienced Climb Leaders and take in the wind whipped views of the river, backdropped by the city as they tell you all about Brisbane’s intriguing history.
Brisbane’s Koala Sanctuary
Visit Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, just 15 minutes from the CBD and observe the friendly koalas. The first and largest koala sanctuary in the world, Lone Pine is renowned for its research and conservation efforts, and over 130 koalas call this Brisbane zoo, home. The individual homes for the koalas include ‘Boys’, where all the teenagers hang out, ‘Kindergarten’, a place for the young koalas to run amok and ‘Retirement Home’, a quiet retreat for the mature koalas to sleep their days away.
