The city Brisbane is situated on the Brisbane River, flanked by the Ramsar Wetland of Moreton Bay, and has a thriving cultural scene with numerous art galleries, theatres and museums.   Meanjin/Brisbane is also known for its beautiful green spaces, like the City Botanic Gardens. Brisbane's winter climate is generally dry and mild, which makes ICCB a great time to explore the nearby subtropical rainforest of Lamington and Mount Glorious, bike around the city, or explore islands around Moreton Bay like North Stradbroke, which has a daily ferry from the mainland.   Queensland is Australia’s most biodiverse state with habitats that range from lowland tropical rainforest to heathlands, eucalypt and acacia woodlands, tropical grasslands, and deserts. Brisbane is in the middle of the “Forests of East Australia” global biodiversity hotspot with narrow range endemics such as Albert’s lyrebird, black-breasted buttonquail and paradise riflebird, the original macadamia species, innumerable orchids, over 100 species of frog, koala, platypus, echidna, gliders and many macropods. Meanjin/Brisbane is even home to a megapode that is a garden pest! In Moreton Bay there are several mangrove species, dolphins, dugongs, humpback whales and abundant shorebirds, while the Great Barrier Reef is accessible by driving a few hours north.   We hope to see you there!   Brisbane/Meanjin is situated on the Brisbane River, and has a thriving cultural scene with numerous art galleries, theaters and museums.
