ESP looks at the "Brisbane Hinterland" in Queensland

Whether you’re just visiting, a life-long resident, or somewhere in between, you will no doubt agree that Brisbane is Australia’s fastest growing city.

Queensland's capital city, Brisbane, combines the vitality of a modern, bustling city with the sociable and laid back feel of a country town. Set on the banks of the meandering Brisbane River, close to the waters of Moreton Bay, the Queensland capital is a city of grace and charm with a balmy, sub-tropical climate.

Brisbane is spread out over a diverse range of terrain from Sky-scrapers and riverfront to suburbia and a hinterland that’s like a forgotten oasis of sub tropical rainforests, national parks and many quaint hilltop towns

Discover more about Brisbane with unparalleled subtropical lifestyle, the perfect climate for outdoor living.  Brisbane is renown for its open parklands and public spaces, first class sporting facilities, cosmopolitan alfresco dining and of course the Brisbane River at the heart.

The compact city centre is situated on a single bend of the river, with museums, galleries, heritage buildings all within easy reach.  In Brisbane you can travel by rail, bus, car or even via Riverboats.  Visitors are able to enjoy the wildlife sanctuaries located around the greater Brisbane area or take a drive to the popular National Parks in the Hinterlands. 

The undulating hills of Brisbane’s inner city suburbs make some interesting viewing with many heritage buildings or distinctive architectural styles.  Many original cottages, now restored to former glory are a delight to investigate.

As with any city one will find the Nightlife to be bustling.  Perfect warm evenings for 300 days of the year allow both visitors and residents alike to enjoy their time either ‘alfresco’ dining or patronising the many clubs, pubs, or discos.

And of course less then half an hour from the city centre is Moreton Bay and its islands.  Here is where all can enjoy a variety of water sports in the quiet beachside village environment.

Above all Brisbane is a friendly City and welcomes visitors with open arms from across Australia or from overseas.

Population of Brisbane is approximate 1.6 million people and is Australia’s third largest city after Sydney and Melbourne.
