Brisbane is a fantastic starting point on your journey through Queensland

Brisbane is one of Australia’s rapidly emerging cities. Within close proximity to lush mountain forestry and beautiful beaches, Brisbane has the best of both worlds.

A unique combination of the old and new, Brisbane has been pushing the limits to become one of Australia’s most interesting cities. Fortitude Valley provides an excellent selection of bars, restaurants, and nightclubs for those seeking after dark adventures, whilst the surrounding rainforests and national parks satiate travellers seeking adventure and wildlife.

With the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast within driving distance, Brisbane is a fantastic starting point on your journey through Queensland.

What do I love about working at The Tailor?

Working with an amazing team of people from all walks of life with a passion for creating exception experiences that showcase our beautiful country.

Beach escape or outback adventure? Why?

The outback! I’ve been lucky to have lived in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and now Adelaide with easy access to beaches, city life and now wine country. The Outback however draws me in with its remoteness, stunning scenery, and the colours, especially the red soil, green scrubs, and trees and the bluest of skies.
