Is how the South Australian Visitor & Travel centre like to describe Adelaide and here at Mystery Flights we agree.

Brisbane is fast becoming one of Mystery Flights most talked about destinations. It is a city pulsing with eclectic communities, mind blowing performing and visual arts displays, award winning restaurants and fantastic experiences for families – all this right in the heart of the city. You may think that Brisbane is just another city or maybe even a sleepy little town – well it may be time to think again! Let us fill you in on a few secrets about Brisbane’s seaside escapes. Moreton Bay is just 35kms away – with snorkelling, scuba diving, sand tobogganing, quad biking and hand feeding bottlenose dolphins. Or if hanging around town is more your scene why not let loose with some retail therapy at the Queen Street Mall – with over 700 specialty stores you are sure to find something. Don’t forget to take some time out to experience Brisbane’s incredible restaurant/cafe scene. Brisbane is immensely proud of their fine dining reputation with a wide range of Australian and international cuisines available within a 10 min radius of the CBD. Did you know? You can abseil down million-year-old cliffs and overlook a river as old as the Nile – right in the heart of Brisbane? Visit www.riverlife.com.au for more details.

Poor Canberra! Canberra is one of our most requested exclusions. The team at Mystery Flights is puzzled by this. Rebecca from Mystery Flights reservations department thought she would take a break and visit Canberra and see for herself why it was the most requested exclusion. Here is what she had to say about it: “I bought a 962 page book at the airport on my way to Canberra in preparation for a dull weekend… the book remained in my bag all weekend!… I designed a flying car at the Museum of Australia, Experienced an Earthquake at Questacon, saw a streaker at a soccer match at Cockington Green, took on an elite athlete (and lost) at the Australian Institute of Sport and tip toed through the tulips at Floriade.
