No longer satisfied to remain in the shadow of Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane is subverting stereotypes and surprising the critics. Welcome to Australia’s new subtropical It kid. A little way south, the Gold Coast region is built for pleasure and remains utterly dedicated to sun, surf, and the body beautiful. This strip of coast may be Australia’s most iconic holiday destination, but it also happens to be hosting the Commonwealth Games in April 2018.

Key features of Lonely Planet Pocket Brisbane & the Gold Coast:

  • Brisbane's best walking tours
  • Includes Surfer’s Paradise and Burleigh Heads
  • Full-colour, pocket-sized guidebook
