Brisbane - the notorious Gabba...

Make sure you’re in Brisbane as the sporting world stops and has all eyes on the Gabba. You’re at an Ashes Test in one of the most famous stadiums in the world and Jerusalem is being blasted out. What more could you want?

When not at the cricket, discover a vibrant city that’s brimming with new hotel openings, precincts, restaurants and bars. Bask in the balmy weather of the Sunshine State’s summer and enjoy the al fresco lifestyle loved by locals.
