Brisbane - I was impressed
I recently stayed with my wife and two young children just across the road from the Botanical Gardens. In some ways, I was there by accident, my wife attended a conference and I tagged along. But Brisbane impressed me as a city.
It had been some time since I'd been there. I was struck by its beauty, its increasing street life and, indeed, street theatre, its buildings, its river life. I remember walking with my two children across to the gardens, kicking an afl football about, strolling across to the river. My children played on the banks while I sat on a park bench as biker's sped by enjoying all that the city and its weather had to offer. It was a charmed morning.
We had an eighth floor look-out with superb views of Kangaroo Point cliffs, the Brisbane River, Parliament House, South Bank Parklands and the city skyline. It was a terrific base for exploring the city.

Brisbane CBD and Suburbs
- Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations. Although more of Brisbane's population live outside the city compared to other capital cities, it is still vibrant and economically and culturally alive. With a lot to see and do, and an atmosphere of lazy sunny days, a good way to tour Brisbane is on the specific buses. The City Sights Tour takes in modern and historical sites around the CBD, while stopping at 19 strategic locations. The ticket is valid all day and gives unlimited access to river ferries and Brisbane Transport's commuter bus fleet. The City Nights Tour includes floodlit landmarks, the illuminated cliff faces of Kangaroo Point, and breathtaking night views over the city from Mount Coot-tha Lookout.
