With the lush parklands, sleek glass skyscrapers, and the glimmering Brisbane River slithering its way through the city, Brisbane virtually resembles a picturesque SimCity metropolis. Just as its sublime cityscape that's literally out of this world, Brisbane also has a myriad of unique things for you to indulge in.
The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the one place you could visit to tick off your lifelong dream of cuddling a furry koala. Unlike numerous other places throughout Australia where you could see these cuddly creatures up close, you can actually hold, feed, and connect with them at Lone Pine. Some might even get the feeling of taking one back home, which you obviously cannot do, but you are free to take as many pictures as you want to cherish the delightful memory.
Standing at a staggering height of 60 metres, the Wheel of Brisbane is a star attraction of Brisbane's skyline. It is, without a doubt, the first thing you'll spot as soon as you step foot in the precinct of South Bank. Hop on board an air-conditioned pod on this giant Ferris wheel to go on a 10-minute ride, where you will be treated with nothing but awe-inspiring panoramic views of the city.
If you are going in search of unique and exciting things to do in Brisbane, you certainly don't have to go far as a sightseeing tour around the city will be more than impressive. With the glimmering Brisbane River running through the heart of the city, there's no better way to take in the city's breathtaking beauty than aboard a river cruise. The lush parklands, towering skyscrapers, and the many iconic landmarks that line the river banks guarantee an incomparable sightseeing experience like no other.
However, if you do prefer admiring the scene with your feet firmly planted on the ground, city-centre hotel apartments in Brisbane, including the likes of Oaks Brisbane Lexicon Suites, would be a great accommodation choice. It would, without a doubt, make your sightseeing experience much more convenient.
The heritage-listed, attractive steel Story Bridge is an iconic landmark that makes Brisbane what it is. As one of only three places where you can engage in a bridge climb, no one should pass up on the unique experience of the Story Bridge adventure climb. The 2-hour trek up and down the bridge will be quite a tiring workout, but it will be well worth the effort once you get to take in the breathtaking views at the top.
Located just a 70-minute ferry ride away from Brisbane, Moreton Island is one of Aussies' much-loved camping destinations. Boasting pristine beaches, towering sand dunes, and sparkling blue waters, Moreton Island makes for a perfect escape away from the main city to get in touch with nature.
