Tourism  
As Queensland’s capital, Brisbane has its very own savvy downtown precinct, which serves as a destination in its own right or as the perfect hub for exploring spectacular Moreton Bay, beaches, or many regional hinterland attractions located inside a leisurely 60 minute drive. Brisbane’s active yet relaxed way of life fits perfectly with the plethora of things to see and do in and around the city.
