Brisbane is Australia's best-located city. Our central location allows you to visit the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, coastal beaches and Queensland's famous theme parks. Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, known as the 'Sun State', is a dynamic, cosmopolitan, safe and friendly city often cited as Australia's most livable city. Surrounded by some of Australia's most popular attractions. The Gold and Sunshine Coasts, beautiful sandy islands, zoos and theme parks. The city is also known as the educational capital of Queensland as it is home to nine universities. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many other major Australian cities. Brisbane's great climate, quality of life and friendly, laid-back people make it the perfect city to live in and study in Australia.
Brisbane is conveniently located close to some of Australia's most famous cities, including Sydney and Melbourne. Student favourites include La Vue Waterfront Restaurant, St. James Crabhouse Bar & Grill, and Julius Pizzeria. In Brisbane, explore Queen Street, the city's historic thoroughfare and home to the city's largest pedestrian mall, Queen Street Mall. Today, instead of unkempt students, there are young professionals sipping coffee at chic cafés like Benny's Cafe and Espresso & Collectibles on Dudley Street. And these shared flats and apartments? Today they are stylish single-family homes and cool neighbourhoods in the city centre. Some vestiges of Annerley's humble history remain - op shops, pawnshops, boarding houses. Comfortable yet versatile, life here is relaxed and has just the right level of interest.
Annerley hosts a highly diverse city where approximately 33% of residents are non-Australian born and 20% speak a language other than English at home. This makes Brisbane a very inclusive city where international students feel right at home.
