Brisbane is a river city that enjoys an enviable climate of hot, brilliant summers and clear, mild winters. This modern, sophisticated city has retained its friendly, easy pace of life, complete with parks, gardens and sidewalk cafe living. The inner city is easy to explore on foot, but once outside of the downtown area our Brisbane hire cars are recommended as the metropolitan area is huge with lots of steep terrain. In the CBD area, shining glass towers stand side by side with historic sandstone churches and heritage colonial buildings. The Queen Street Mall, with it's stylish shopping galleries, fills with colour and activity day and night and South Bank Parklands is a focus for visitors and residents alike with its riverbank promenade, city beach, waterways, themed attractions, cafes and restaurants and a host of entertainment and events. The adjoining Queensland Cultural Centre boasts one of Australia's finest art galleries, the excellent Queensland Museum, State Library and the Queensland Performing Arts Complex. Mt Cootha provides a look-out with magnificent evening views across the Brisbane skyline. The near-city residential suburbs of Spring Hill and Paddington and the exclusive streets of Hamilton and Ascot are home to many of the best examples of Queenslander houses with their broad verandahs, intricate fretwork and iron roofs. Much of Brisbane's river city history can be seen on a trip in the River Cat ferries. Brisbane Surrounds While Brisbane offers visitors a modern, sophisticated city, it is also the gateway to South-East Queensland's most spectacular natural attractions.
