Stroll along South Bank on a Saturday morning and get to know the locals at the brightly arrayed vendors' booths. Cruise along the Brisbane River on CityCat, the public ferry, for a relaxing view of the city or ride a river boat for a 12 mile cruise up the river to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and an introduction to the four-legged characters native to Australia.

Spend a day or two on Moreton Island to meet the resident dolphins and learn to surf on the dunes. Scale the top of the Story Bridge, over 260 feet above the river, for an adrenalin rush and far-reaching views of the city's skyline to the sea.
