Brisbane the capital city of the state of Queensland is a busy commercial hub of the northern state of Australia as well as a popular holiday destination. Brisbane is central to many attractions and visitors to Queensland may still prefer to stay in one of the short term accommodation in Brisbane or in one of the accommodation in Brisbane CBD and tour the state. Some attractions and destinations can be explored in a day tour while others need to be explored by holidaying in that destination to soak in all what the destination has to offer.
