April in Brisbane marks the official start of Autumn. There's a definite change in the weather and usually, the hot, steamy days have gone. It is a great time to get outside and walk around the sights of Brissy!
The weather definitely makes it really amazing to enjoy the city on foot.
April is a great month to visit Brisbane and enjoy all it has to offer.
School holidays fall in March and April depending upon when Easter is each year. And ANZAC Day is commemorated on 25 April.
Check school holiday dates (below) and plan around them, if you can.
Other areas that are great for exploring on foot include the historical buildings of the city, Eagle Street Pier Area, Kangaoroo Point, South Bank and other riverside areas.
The botanical gardens in the city or at Mt Coot-Tha are lovely at this time of year and views from Mt Coot-Tha are spectacular on a clear day.
Many common questions are answered on this page or in reader submitted Q&A.
It is still definitely warm enough to enjoy being bayside, on Moreton Bay on a boat or on one of the amazing islands.

# - Gold Coast sea temperature has been used because the data for Brisbane was difficult to interpret. Moreton Bay can have significantly different temperatures than the general ocean temperatures and realistically you don't come to Brisbane for the beach, but you do go to Gold and Sunshine Coasts for that. This is just an indication.
