After your stay in cosmopolitan Brisbane, be sure to take the Coachtrans
back to the airport. Don't let rental car returns slow you down, this
is the quick and efficient way to get to your flight on time - every
time.

located in the Central Business District (CBD). The Coachtrans driver
will collect you from just outside of your hotel. Passengers will be

or delays. More

Bicycle
Brisbane is pretty bike-friendly and has some quite
good bicycle tracks through the city, mostly along the Brisbane
river. The local council even publishes a special Bicycle Map
with all the info on where to find the tracks. You can take your
bike on the trains outside weekday peakhours and also (for free!)
on the City Cats and ferries.
Bus
The bus is a good way to get around Brisbane
The main central bus station is in the Myer
Centre. Brisbane Transport runs over 600 buses around Brisbane,
the handiest of all a FREE bus service named 'the loop' that
circles Brisbane's Central Business District. It stops at
several destinations including Central Station, Queen Street
Mall, City Botanic Gardens, Riverside Centre, QUT and King
George Square. Brisbane transport is very organized, you only
need one ticket for bus, train or ferry. Ring the Trans-Info

Row your boat to Brisbane
This is not for the faint hearted, and not recommended
for those on tight time schedules, but Dutchman Ralph Tuijn
has left Peru in March 2007 to cross the Pacific Ocean at its
widest point - solo. The 16,000-kilometer crossing will not
make use of any motorised or wind-related power. This extreme
challenge will take between 7 and 9 months to complete and will
be non-stop, without re-supplies or any other support. You can
follow this crazy adventure on his
website.
