Things To Do:

Shop:
Although it isn't as big as some other cities in Australia Brisbane is still a great place to shop. It's size can work in it's favour as the city centre is a lot more compact than others. Queen Street Mall has all the shops you'd expect on a high street. If you don't fancy shopping, right in the centre of this street is a tourist information booth with leaflets and guides for everything you want to know about Brisbane, along with all activities in the surrounding area.

Skydiving:
If you want the best possible view of the city, this is a good way to get it. Along with the city views, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and Moreton Bay can be seen clearly. Brisbane Skydiving Centre (1800 061 555) give free pick up and return to the city, and a free souvenir t-shirt. Prices start at $220.

Go To Southbank:
Only five minutes away from the city centre is Southbank - a small area of the city full of restaurants, pubs, markets and a city centre beach. If you fancy catching a movie, a huge cinema complex is here, along with an IMAX centre. Best of all is the city's skyline from Southbank.
