Travelling Brisbane
Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and is centrally located between the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Like most large cities, most public transport options are available. Brisbane is spread out more then most cities so if you wish to venture out of the CBD a car would be the best most to get around and easier then the trains. With Gold Coast about one hour to the south or the Sunshine Coast only about two hours north there are plenty of beautiful natural areas to explore. From some of the best beaches in the world to lush rain forest and hinterland everything is easy in reach when visiting the area.
