Information About Brisbane
Brisbane,
the capital city of Queensland, is midway up the east
coast of Australia - 27.5oS, 153oE. With the Gold Coast
to the south and the Sunshine Coast to the north, domestic
and international airports, Brisbane is an ideal headquarters
for an Australian holiday.
Brisbane, indeed all Queensland, operates on Eastern
Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT. Summertime
or Daylight Saving is not observed.
Residents and visitors to Brisbane enjoy a wide range
of landscapes and lifestyles. The inner-city, metropolitan
Brisbane is surrounded by leafy, sometimes very hilly,
suburbs. Further out in the suburbs, the traditional
Australian house on a large block or even acreage dominates.
Moreton Bay and its islands provide water sports, sailing
and sea-side suburbs. The Pacific Highway leads south
to the Gold Coast and its well-known surf beaches and
great hinterland forests. Surfers Paradise is approximately
one hour's drive from Brisbane and Byron Bay is approximately
two hour's drive.
North is the seaside town of Redcliffe, the rainforest
and picturesque countryside of Pine Rivers, Caboolture
and the Glasshouse Mountains. Bribie Island offers the
first surf beach to the north. The Sunshine Coast including
Noosa is popular holiday spots. Noosa is approximately
ninety minutes drive from Brisbane and Hervey Bay is
approximately three and a half hours drive.
Travelling west of Brisbane, past Ipswich, you soon
climb the Great Dividing Range to Toowoomba and the
rich plains of the Darling Downs. Toowoomba is approximately
two hour's drive from Brisbane.
For information regarding nearest supermarkets and shopping
facilities please ask our helpful staff at the Brisbane
Branch when you collect your vehicle.
