A modern, welcoming and multicultural city, Brisbane and its surrounds is renowned for its subtropical outdoor lifestyle and friendly locals. Built on the banks of a gently winding river, it is a compact, liveable and walkable city. One of the fastest-growing capital cities in Australia, Brisbane residents are young, skilled, highly educated and culturally diverse. The city offers a cosmopolitan urban lifestyle, with weekend getaways from coastal escapes to rural retreats a short drive away. With year round sunshine filled days and clear blue skies, it’s no wonder Brisbane locals say “Beautiful one day, perfect the next.” The city continues to be become more globally connected, with increasing transportation links and flights to the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. It is also the closest major Australian capital city to Asia. Whilst we hope that the main attraction is our Convention, there is still plenty of other activities available in and around southeast Queensland. We've taken the liberty of including some, based on their distance/accessibility, and will update this section throughout the year. After all, if you are visiting our beautiful subtropical region you may want to take the time to experience the variety of things we offer. |
KEDRON-WAVELL SERVICES CLUB For a locally based attraction, we couldn't find much closer than our own Venue. This multi-award winning community Club provides a number of dining, bar, gaming, and entertainment facilities to its guests. Plus, they're a non-profit organisation.
| WESTFIELD CHERMSIDE Just a stone's throw from the International Parrots 2024 Convention is Westfield Chermside, Australia's second largest shopping and entertainment precinct. With over 500 stores, a multitude of dining and bar outlets (including the modern redevelopment on the second floor), and a gigantic cinema complex; Westfield Chermside is a fantastic attraction on Brisbane's northside.

| MORETON BAY REGION Just a little further up the road is Moreton Bay, a truly beautiful region that has grown tremendously in the last few years.

Once again, just like Brisbane City, there is so much to do in these regions that we've provided a link you can click here.
