Brisbane

by mke1963 - last update: Feb 25, 2005

Brisbane is a wonderful city, which manages to mix its heritage with its modern image seamlessly and gracefully. I have visited few cities in recent years that have such a cosmopolitan feel. Many cities with a strong international flavour can feel unfrendly, but Brisbane was a cheerful place quite at ease with its influx of foreign holidaymakers and foreigners intent on staying a lot longer.
Brisbane feels larger than it is, and the distances on foot can be long, but an excellent bus and city-rail system make it easy to get around.
Brisbane certainly has "got it" whatever "it" might be.

 Your have summarised the "feel" of Brisbane very well, Mark. I agree, those big "corporate" hotel chains tend to lack individuality.
