Urban Delights
Wrapped around river bends, boom town Brisbane is a glamorous patchwork of neigh-
bourhoods, each with a distinct cultural flavour: bohemian West End; party-central Forti-
tude Valley; affluent Paddington; exclusive New Farm…explore and soak up the vibes.
The Gold Coast should also be high on your list: nightclubs and surf clubs in equal meas-
ure. Other hubs include Cairns (gateway for the Daintree and Great Barrier Reef), Noosa
(on the Sunshine Coast), and Airlie Beach (to access the Whitsundays). Urban essentials
abound: cafes, bars, restaurants, galleries, shops and more.
