Quit getting jealous over everyone else's travel pics and start snapping your own in Rocklea. A neighbourhood in the Queensland capital of Brisbane, you'll want to kick yourself for not going there sooner. Keen to meet the locals? Won't be a problem. Around 2,200,000 people live in Brisbane. Rocklea is 10 kilometres south of the centre of the city. If you're coming in from Brisbane Airport, hop into a taxi and go 20 kilometres to the southwest.
Rocklea is a sightseer's wonderland. A good number of the city's top attractions are scattered near this interesting neighbourhood, including Queen Street Mall and the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. The have-to-see sights of Roma Street Parkland and Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium are also at your fingertips. For a better perspective of this city as a whole, spend time in the nearby neighbourhoods of Yeerongpilly and Moorooka.
Is your golf swing lacking oomph? Does your posture need some correction? With superb greens like the Saint Lucia Golf Links, the Oxley Golf Range, the Corinda Golf Course and the Indooroopilly Golf Club to play at, improving your technique will be par for the course.
If you love being in the outdoors, don't forget to visit Mount Gravatt Lookout and Oxley Creek Common.
If the vigour of the city is wearing you thin, recharge your batteries in one of the local green spaces. Sherwood Arboretum and Rocks Riverside Park are lovely spots to take a relaxing stroll or read a book.
Sometimes the best way to get to know a new place is by strolling around the shops. Remember to call in to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and Buranda Village.
Brush aside the cobwebs of the past at Boggo Road Gaol, the UQ Anthropology Museum, Walter Taylor Bridge and City Hall & King George Square. These age-old attractions have a range of illuminating stories to tell.
Don't pass up your chance to visit the sporting hub of Suncorp Stadium. Catch a live game of soccer in your orange and black and watch home team the Brisbane Roar bid for glory. Alternatively, come down and support the Brisbane Broncos or the Queensland Reds, a couple of other teams who call this venue home.
Backpackers and shoestring travellers can rest easy. Budget rooms await at the Fern Cottage B&B and the Sapphire Resort. These digs are proof that terrific service doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Or would you rather spend your time in more luxurious surrounds? Prepare to be treated like royalty at the Founda Gardens Apartments or the Spicers Balfour Hotel.
