South Bank Parklands
Right in the middle of the city, this huge park has a beautiful man-made beach and lagoon where families splash around and play all year long.
Brisbane is one of Australia’s most exciting and sun-drenched cities, sitting along the winding Brisbane River in Queensland. With sunshine almost every single day of the year, it’s no wonder people here love being outdoors — whether that’s splashing around at the beautiful man-made beach at South Bank Parklands, climbing the famous Story Bridge after dark to gaze out over a glittering skyline, or picnicking beside the river with friends and family.
The city has a relaxed, friendly energy, but big things are happening here. Brisbane is gearing up to welcome the entire world for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032, joining a very small group of Australian cities ever to do so — and the buzz of excitement is already building.
Beyond the city streets, you can meet a real koala at the world’s oldest and largest koala sanctuary, and the riverside galleries even include a world-class art space designed just for kids. Brisbane truly has something for everyone.
