Brisbane airport: Retail, dining and great accessibility

Brisbane airport is its own destination, with enough on offer to occupy anyone who passes through. If you have a while, you can visit the nearby Skygate complex and enjoy a massive range of retail outlets. Alternatively, you can settle into a restaurant or bar in the airport precinct and enjoy a quiet break from your travels. When it comes time to go, there is a great drop off/pick up point directly adjacent to the domestic terminal. This makes getting in and out of the airport very easy. At the international terminal, there’s a departures road on level 4 and an arrivals road on level 2. This means that congestion is normally at a minimum.

And there is a great reason for this. Byron Bay has something for everyone – whether you’re there to relax and unwind, or adventure. The coast itself has everything from swimming and surfing, to fishing and scuba diving – not to mention a range of extreme sports too. Then there are the sightseeing opportunities; Byron Bay is home to the likes of the Cape Byron Lighthouse, several farmers markets. And finally, you can’t forget about the culture! Byron Bay hosts some of the country’s most prominent musicians during its many festivals, which include Blues Fest and Splendour in the Grass. So why wait to enjoy them all?
