Brisbane
Australia
Brisbane is Australia's sunshine capital: a slow river bend lined with the South Bank parklands and pools, Fortitude Valley's music scene, koala encounters at Lone Pine, and both coasts — Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast — an hour in either direction. Winter is everyone else's summer.
