Booking Brisbane airport car hire with SIXT makes getting out to see them all so much easier! Within Brisbane city, you’ll be able to visit the iconic Story Bridge - just driving across it is a tourist activity itself.

From the CBD, pick up the M5 and head west, away from the coast to visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Here you will find some of the country’s most adorable creatures!
