Brisbane in May/June?

Postby aim54x on Tue Dec 18, 2012 2:52 pm

My partner and I are currently looking at heading north to Brisbane for a few days either in the last week of May or first week of June (going to catch the Bolshoi Ballet) so I was hoping to see if anyone has any recommendations for:

-relatively inexpensive hotels in the CBD or surrounds(we will only be up there for a few nights max)
-food destinations
-photographic must see/must do
-other attractions

It is vital that things be kept public transport friendly. Thanks in advance. PS if anyone that wants to meet I may be able to either get away for an arvo or convince my partner to come along.

EDIT: Tickets to the Ballet have been booked....looks like I will definitely be in Brisbane the first weekend of June

Brisbane in May/June?

Southbank would be an ideal place to stay. Within walking distance of all the galleries, arts centres and museums etc. ..... no need for a vehicle. Plenty of options of eateries on your doorstep, night markets, Brisbane wheel (highly recommended). I stayed at Mantra on Southbank last June - probably not the cheapest option, but certainly not the most expensive.

Too early to commit to a meet up, but it would be good to catch up depending on other commitments/timing.
