Day-by-day plan

Day 1 — Arrive and settle in South Bank

01

Route and decision Arrive in Brisbane, transfer to a South Bank or central base, and keep the first evening local: South Bank Parklands and an easy meal. Confirm airport transfer, luggage storage and check-in timing.

Confirm before booking: Check current schedules, access, weather, opening hours and supplier terms for this day.

Day 2 — South Bank and cultural cluster

02

Route and decision Keep Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery and the South Bank riverfront as the cluster. Choose one indoor anchor and one outdoor block; use the other as a heat or rain fallback.

Confirm before booking: Check current schedules, access, weather, opening hours and supplier terms for this day.

Day 3 — Lone Pine and west-side reset

03

Route and decision Make Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary the single anchor and confirm opening hours, animal-welfare guidance and transport before booking. Leave a recovery window rather than adding another cross-city attraction.

Confirm before booking: Check current schedules, access, weather, opening hours and supplier terms for this day.

Day 4 — Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast

04

Route and decision Travel north after breakfast with a protected buffer. Confirm the current Translink route, service disruptions, luggage plan and accommodation check-in; do not stack a timed attraction immediately after arrival.

Confirm before booking: Check current schedules, access, weather, opening hours and supplier terms for this day.

Day 5 — Mooloolaba and Noosa choice

05

Route and decision Choose one coastal cluster: Mooloolaba foreshore and SEA LIFE, or Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street. Check weather, tides, parking or public transport and the children’s energy before selecting.

Confirm before booking: Check current schedules, access, weather, opening hours and supplier terms for this day.

Day 6 — Departure buffer

06

Route and decision Keep the final morning light, confirm the airport or onward transfer and recheck service status, flight timing and luggage. A nearby café or park is the fallback only if the transport buffer remains intact.

Confirm before booking: Check current schedules, access, weather, opening hours and supplier terms for this day.
