Brisbane is the capital of the Australian state of Queensland. Although it does not receive the same level of recognition as Sydney to the north, those on a cruise to Australia will be delighted with a day spent in Brisbane. Visitors will quickly gain an understanding of life along Australia’s east coast as they become immersed in the city culture of Queensland. Even more exciting for most visitors is Brisbane’s close proximity to the Gold Coast, a stretch of coastline cherished by locals for its surf breaks and soft, welcoming sand.
