Green, gorgeous and laidback, Brisbane is made for people who like to get out and about. After taking flights to Brisbane, visitors can go rock-climbing at Kangaroo Point (you can even do this at night), wander through Brisbane Forest park, cycle along the riverside tracks or experience the river from the comfort of a paddle steamer.
On the list of travellers taking cheap flights to Brisbane is the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It's the oldest - and largest - koala sanctuary in the world, one of the very few places where you can get as close to koalas.
And if all the activity gets a little tiring, be entertained at one of the lively festivals that range from the World Championship Cockroach Racing to chamber music.
