about Brisbane

Brisbane - for a taste of authentic Australia. Young. Modern. Vibrant. Warm and welcoming. Energetic and energising.

Nestled in the south-east corner of Queensland in the heart of the country’s fastest growing region, Brisbane is a young city. A progressive city. A city replete with all the right facilities and an impressive list of credentials, but at the same time refreshingly authentic and untainted by pretensions.

A city that speaks to both head and heart. The hard and fast facts are: Brisbane is home to one of the world’s top three convention centres and an astounding assortment of unique and unusual venues. Brisbane is a cost-competitive destination fully outfitted with leading-edge business facilities, transport infrastructure and accommodation. The city is also home to several world-class universities, a vibrant research and development community and a dynamic business sector. And best of all – there’s Team Brisbane. A coordinated, collaborative, city-wide approach to doing business.

Having said that, we also know that Einstein got it right when he said that “not everything that counts can be counted”. A big part of Brisbane’s appeal comes from our lifestyle, our spirit, our unbridled sense of optimism. Our warm and welcoming heart and easy-going attitude.

And then there’s the endless days of cloudless blue skies and bright starry nights that encourage forays into the city’s endless offer of leisure and pleasure activities. Cap off a busy day of business with bridge climbing adventures. Exhilarating river kayaking expeditions. Sunset abseiling escapades on the inner-city cliffs. Afternoon explorations of the magnificent Gallery of Modern Art. Awe-inspiring wild dolphin experiences. And so the list goes on.
