Activities In Brisbane

Brisbane is the perfect destination for outdoor activities, giving it’s perfect climate. It is a relatively flat city and has various parks for you to enjoy walks, cycling and skating to your hearts content.

Cycling: There are over 5,000 kms of cycle ways across the Brisbane city. You can take a ride around the river, explore the suburbs or cycle around Moreton Bay. You can pick up a booklet at the tourist information centres, Brisbane Bicycle Experience Guide, to find details on cycle paths if you choose. For an easy start you can go from the City Botanic Gardens, cross the Goodwill Bridge to the University of Queensland. Bikes are allowed on city trains, at all times except peak hours, and they are also allowed on the CityCat and Ferries for free.

In-Line Skating: The Cycle tracks are also good for skating. You can rent the skates at Skatebiz, Albert Street. Which also provides all the safety equipment too. Southbank Parklands, The City Botanic Gardens and the paths by the Brisbane River are great places to skate.

Rock Climbing: This is possibly on of Brisbane’s most popular pastime. You can head the the Cliff Rock Climbing area at kangaroo Point where the pink volcanic cliffs, said to be over 200 million years old, are now home to a climbing wall. This wall is suitable for all levels of climbers and the floodlights remain on until midnight. There are also indoor places such as Urban Climb, in West End or Rock sports, located in Fortitude Valley where you can rock climb. Some clubs such as K2 Extreme and Torre Mountain Craft offer climbing and abseiling classes as well.

Swimming: Everyone’s favourite place, including my own, for a nice day of outdoor swimming is the artificial lagoon at Southbank Parklands. Although this is a great place other wonderful pool areas include, Centenary Pool, which has an attached fitness center. This is a 50 metre pool that offers high diving and a toddler wading pool. Spring Hill Baths is a heated pool and is opened year round, here you can take lessons in aqua aerobics and a dip into history, as it is the first Brisbane public bath established in 1886. When enjoying the day here you must try the quirky historic changing cubicles!

Skydiving and Ballooning: The Brisbane Skydiving Centre Picks up from the CBD and offers partner skydives over Brisbane, including a 30 minute scenic flight. You can also organize a balloon flight through, Fly Me to the Moon and enjoy the breathtaking scenic views from the north beyond the Glass House Mountains to the south at Boarder Ranges. Flights usually depart at daybreak and travel between 10-15km for about an hour. During your flight a 4WD will follow on the ground to take you back to your starting destination after you land.

Cheapest Hotels in Orlando Florida

July 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

by Chris Linch

When traveling to Orlando, you want to keep all the cash you can. The theme parks will eat you alive when it comes to money. Obviously, we dont have boundless means so we have to conserve somewhere. Saving on your hotel is a wonderful place to start. Because you will spend most of your time at theme parks and other fun destinations it is ok to conserve a small amount when it comes to a hotel.

Here are my top 5 picks for cheap hotels in Orlando Florida:

Knights Inn Maingate East ” Right next to Disneyworld starts at $23 for each night.

Howard Johnson Enchanted Land ” Near Disneyworld starts at $27 for each night.

Knights Inn Kissimmee ” Starts at just $27 per night.

Americas Best Value Inn ” Starts at $27 for each night.

Orlando Days Inn International ” Best deal for sure, starts at $28 per night and is nice.

There is a excellent start for you to book cheap hotels in Orlando Florida. There are many websites out there who carry these properties. Book as early as workable to guarantee the best rate, and if you are certain you are going choose a non refundable reservation to save a few extra dollars.

Some other things I advise for Orlando is to by hopper passes, at least you get a price cut for various visits to parks. Also you want to buy food packages if you are going with Kids. Just a hot dog and fries and a place like Sea World is a ten dollar lunch. I usually dont advocate the Disney resorts because they are more expensive, however if you have the cash they offer all inclusive packages as well.

If you ever need help booking a hotel, and you are using an online site. Try to use one that offers a selection of hotel chains as opposed to just a hotel website. Hotel or franchise websites are always going to exclaim their properties best fit your requests. You are best to make that decision on your own.
