Public transport links in Brisbane are excellent, and free on matchdays with a match ticket.

For a memorable dining experience, visit Howard Smith Wharves under the Story Bridge, where you can enjoy some of the finest drinks and cuisine along the riverside of Brisbane.
If it's beaches that you're after, we recommend making the journey to the Gold Coast, which won't disappoint. We will be offering some optional excursions on these days if you're looking for a group activity.
