Brisbane is one of the best places in the world to live, work and play. A booming economy, progressive state government and glorious weather have made Australia's third largest city the place to be in Queensland.

It has several interesting districts, a good street cafe scene, a great riverside park and a thriving nightlife. Brisbane is also the arts capital of Queensland, with dozens of theatres, cinemas, concert halls, galleries and museums.

Located in the southeastern corner of Queensland, Brisbane is a river city, situated 25km (15mi) upstream from the mouth of the Brisbane River. The compact city centre is built along and between the looping meanders of the river, making it easy to explore on foot.
