Brisbane, Australia, city renown for both natural and man-made wonders, a metropolitan jungle that embodies the spirit of the renaissance, wrapped in natural wilderness and named after the river running beside her. In Brisbane, there is plenty of accommodation to choose from. One of the most conveniently located and popular of these are the Oaks Lexicon Apartments, situated in the heart of downtown Brisbane near Central Station, on the best Brisbane holiday apartments. Guests can feel they are home away from home as these apartments come equipped with a kitchen and all the other comforts of a home such as a television with a DVD player, and air conditioning, as well as hotel-like features like laundry-service and swimming pool.
Despite various other wonders beheld by the city, Brisbane is infamous for her thriving live theatre and music scene. Numerous venues have been built showcasing the performing artistry within the city, such as the Brisbane Powerhouse and the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts. Additionally, visual art is also thriving in Brisbane, which resulted in the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, containing some well-known pieces of modern art from within and out of Australia.
One of the most iconic features of Brisbane is the Story Bride, and is notorious for the signature adventure climb that is associated with it. It is the longest cantilever bridge Australia and functions as a conduit between the northern and southern suburbs of Queensland. During the adventure climb, trained experts escort the climbers along a suspended walkway to the top of the pinnacle of the bridge, which is at height of 80 metres above sea-level. The experience of standing on top of the bridge with traffic flowing below and a panoramic view of Brisbane surrounding has likened to being ‘on top of the world’, a sensation anyone definitely should not miss out.
