A Little Bit About Brisbane Australia...
Queenslanders are known to have a relaxed, easy-going attitude to life and you can attribute this to the huge amount of tropical sunshine we enjoy each year (and yes, perhaps our love of beer has something to do with it too). With a population of more than 1.7 million people, Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is the third largest city in Australia.
For the last few years our city has been undergoing quite a makeover with new apartments being built in the CBD and so many new cafe's, clubs and hubs of culture that it's hard to keep track of the place.
Check out Our Brisbane for a quick overview of our fine city and if you're ever in town we give the thumbs up to the places recommended below.

Some Places to Visit in Brisbane.
Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA)
Some world class exhibitions have been featured and there is always something new. We love to have a wander and a glass of wine or two in the foyer bistro. This place has really lifted the art game in Brisbane!
This centre for art hosts a fantastic array of performances, exhibitions, gigs and workshops. A meal at the in house restaurant 'Bar Alto' is a delight after (or before) a show.
Judith Wright Centre
Music, art, performance, circus, theatre, indigenous arts, experimental stuff and a whole lot more. Exhibitions, kids activities, workshops, conferences, training and community groups. In the heart of 'The Valley' as we call it.
This is the site of Expo 88 turned into a major tourist attraction thanks to a man-made beach, weekend and night time markets and a host of restaurants and regular special events.
These guys are responsible for the new tvc's that promote Brisbane as a 'sleepy little town' (in the best possble way!).
