Brisbane and related destinations

Wander along the winding Brisbane River where ferries called CityCats offer the best views without the fuss of guided tours. The South Bank precinct transforms concrete into paradise with its artificial beach and subtropical gardens. Queensland Museum houses dinosaurs that seem ready to lumber back to life, while XXXX Brewery tours end with amber rewards that taste suspiciously better than elsewhere. Locals debate which riverside market offers superior mangoes with the intensity others reserve for sporting rivalries. At Suncorp Stadium, witness the religious fervor Queenslanders bring to rugby matches. Queen Street Mall bustles with shoppers, but the real treasures hide in Fortitude Valley's laneways where bartenders craft cocktails with backstories longer than their ingredients lists.
