Brisbane In November Travel Guide

Brisbane in November and summer is just around the corner.

Early in the month is the Brisbane International Film Festival.

This festival attracts visitors and locals to one of the the largest and most prestigious film festivals held in Australia.

Weatherwise, it's starting to get hotter and steamier in the city as the humidity rises and so does the rainfall! You can still enjoy the sights, just bring an umbrella and keep yourself hydrated.

No school holidays this month but you may see school children on excursions around the sights and attractions.

Towards the end of November, celebrations start for the annual school leavers (schoolies) and places like Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast are best avoided by those not part of the schoolie celebrations!

Beaches are great for families holidaying in Brisbane wanting to cool down!

Closest beaches to Brisbane CBD include Redcliffe and Clontarf. Head over to the islands (such as Moreton or North Stradbroke) for the day.

You can also day trip to beaches on the Sunshine Coast (1½ to 2 hours north) or Gold Coast (1 to 1½ hours south).

Gold Coast theme parks are a good excursion from Brisbane for the day. Most are located about an hour from Brisbane CBD and can be accessed by car, rail or bus.

The theme parks can get quite hot during these hot near summer days, so take clothes you don't mind getting wet or your swimming costumes and a towel as there are opportunities to cool down around most of the theme parks.

Weather in Brisbane in November

# - Gold Coast sea temperature has been used because the data for Brisbane was hard to find. 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.
