Brisbane
A river winding through a skyline that has shed its country-town reputation for good, a man-made beach right in the middle of downtown, and a subtropical climate that makes an outdoor breakfast the default rather than the exception.
The best time to visit Brisbane is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 25°C (76°F). Local time there is 04:03 (UTC+10).
