Hotels in Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane is the largest city in Queensland, Australia. While the inner city sports a large outdoor mall brimming with open-air restaurants, cafes and bars open late into the night, the outskirts provide ample opportunity for adventuring. You can snorkel or scuba dive in the waters of Moreton Bay around Moreton Island National Park, take a day trip to Fraser Island to the north or get up close and personal with koalas at the country's oldest and largest koala sanctuary, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Brisbane hosts a number of backpackers' hostels for the budget-minded outdoor enthusiast in addition to an abundance of hotels.
