Welcome
On behalf of the residents of Brisbane, I am delighted to introduce
Brisbane’s first Insider Guide, designed to help international
students explore and enjoy Australia’s new world city.
Brisbane is recognised as a destination of choice by students
from across the globe for its leading education institutions
and welcoming spirit. As well as having numerous study
options available, Brisbane also offers an enviable lifestyle
with an abundance of social and cultural activities for international
students to enjoy – no matter which part of the world
you come from.
Brisbane’s vibrant inner-city precincts and urban villages offer
a wide variety of memorable experiences. From the bustling
energy of outdoor cafes, trendy bars and riverside restaurants
to farmers’ markets, boutique shopping and the city’s thriving
music and entertainment scene, there is something here for
everyone to enjoy.

Venues such as the Brisbane Powerhouse, the Gallery of
Modern Art and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre offer
world-class programs, while our major events calendar has
never been busier.
Many successful Australian artists call Brisbane home including
the likes of Powderfinger, Savage Garden, Pete Murray and
The Veronicas, plus relative newcomers Kate Miller-Heidke,
Butterfingers and the Butterfly Effect. From soloists to orchestras,
jazz to hip-hop, and choirs to rock bands, the reputation
of Brisbane’s music scene is rapidly growing.
Brisbane is conveniently located about an hour’s drive from
the natural splendour of Moreton Bay and Islands, Ipswich,
the Scenic Rim and Country Valleys. We are also a gateway to
the popular beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast
and further afield is the world famous Great Barrier Reef.
Proudly initiated by Brisbane Marketing through its Study Brisbane
program, the Brisbane Insider Guide is a free handbook
that will provide you with all the help you need to discover the
unique events and attractions that have made thousands of
international students choose Brisbane to study.
Good luck with your studies and I hope this Insider Guide will
help enrich your stay in our friendly, welcoming and multicultural
New World City.
