According to statistics from RACQ, the average speed in the mornings in Brisbane can drop to 14.8km/h. The RACQ have stated that congestion is costing Brisbane drivers up to $1,875 a year just to sit in peak-hour traffic as it returns to pre-covid levels.
The roads between Brisbane Airport and the Gold Coast are notorious for excessive traffic congestion with the journey times taking up to three hours after incidents. There’s a reason that Airtrain routinely receives TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence awards.
This is a very convenient, easy and reasonably priced way to go from the Brisbane Airport to the Gold Coast. Once I had picked up my luggage it only took a few minutes to get to the train station. The train came very quickly and I was on my way to the Gold Coast. I have used the Airtrain a few times now and my experience has always been a good one.
“Whether you’ve got a 30 minute flight to get to a meeting, or a 20 hour journey to Europe, accessing the airport is probably one of the main anxieties on a trip. Road access is filled with uncertainty in both cost & time, meaning travellers have to build in considerable padding into a journey. By contrast, the airport train has predictable access, route, cost, journey time & service offer making even foreign travellers feel comfortable and assured. This is enhances the reputation of the airport but also the host city that is seen as more organised & well managed.”

🔎DISCOVER: Moreton Bay
Just a stone’s throw from the northern suburbs of Brisbane is Moreton Bay, a marine wonderland where Brisbane River meets the ocean. Moreton Bay is most known for its mammoth tidal lagoon that is home to dugongs, turtles, dolphins and manta rays, as well as sub-tropical coral reefs and fish galore. You can experience the wonders of Moreton Bay on an eco-boat tour or night-time kayak, snorkelling below the surface or seeing it from above via a scenic flight, or checking out a local oyster farm where you can sample Moreton Bay oysters fresh off the trawler.

🧠BRAIN CANCER AWARENESS: Latest research breakthrough
Researchers at @qimrb_institute have co-led an incredible world-leading breakthrough in childhood brain cancer research. They have shown a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer effectively kills tumour cells in pre-clinical medulloblastoma models.
Brain cancer kills more Australian children than any other disease, and those who survive often experience long-term impacts on their development and quality of life as a result of standard treatments used.
These latest findings have been hailed as potentially transformative for treating the most common childhood brain cancer, medulloblastoma, and improving outcomes for our youngest patients.
