My Capital City Brisbane

by amandajayne81 - last update: May 16, 2008

Brisbane is a great city

Being very much a country girl I couldn't live in Brisbane for the rest of my life but am quite happy to have weekend visits to hit the shops and see friends and relatives.

Lived here for a few years after I finished school. As far as cities go it is quite nice and busy and easy to get around. People are generally friendly but not like country people!

It is a great base for explore the Sunshine Coast (hour or so north) and the Gold Coast (hour or so south) and Toowoomba (hour or so West!).

Pros:"Shopping and some great eateries"
Cons:"Peak hour travel can be a nightmare"
In A Nutshell:"Great base but not my idea of home!"

 Nice tips on Brisbane. I visited a few years ago. Explored the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, but did not get too far inland. Hopefully I will make it back someday...

 Sounds like this is an ideal vacation hub being just an hour away from such nice places. I look forward to some day exploring this region.
