Beloved Brisbane

From waterfront revelry to peaceful parks, and all points in between, Brisbane is truly a city with something for everyone.

14 April 2021

Let Melbourne and Sydney square off in their perennial competition to be ‘the best’. Anybody who’s in-the-know, knows that Brisbane doesn’t need to brag. With a self-confidence that comes from natural beauty, innate friendliness, and a more relaxed pace of life, Queensland’s capital has something for everyone, from intrepid explorer to culture-vulture.

For the Socialite

There’s nothing that makes you feel like the city’s at your feet than when you’re sipping a cocktail by the water’s edge. At multiple locations along the river, you could be forgiven for thinking you’re on the French Riviera during awards season. From hip Howard Smith Wharves to bustling Southbank to New Farm’s Powerhouse, you can catch your reflection in the water as you enjoy the best of Brisbane’s cafes, bars, and restaurants along this lively river edge. It’s not all so serious though; the annual Brisbane Comedy Festival at the Powerhouse keeps everyone grounded. 

For the Bohemian

The colour, character, and vibrancy of Brisbane’s markets are sure to bring out the Bohemian in you, with everything from fresh produce to fashion, street eats and handicrafts on offer. Check out West End, Bakery Lane, or Boundary Street for a taste of local cuisine and culture, or go international with one of the many Parisian, Asian, or African-themed markets all over the city and suburbs. For more information on Brisbane’s flea markets, food trucks, and fashion pop-ups, head over to visitbrisbane.com.au.

For the Nighthawk

There’s a reason Brisbane is lovingly referred to as BrisVegas, with a memorable night almost guaranteed if you know how to play your cards right. Billed as having “the old-world opulence of a five-star hotel and the non-stop excitement of a 24-hour casino” the famed Treasury Casino precinct also includes nightclubs, restaurants, and rooftop bars with killer views. A little further afield, Fortitude Valley is undisputedly the home of the footloose and fancy-free. So head to Laruche, Cloudland, or Family if you’re one of those who prefer to try their luck on the dancefloor.

For the Nature Lover 

Some days you just need to stand in nature and marvel at all the amazing wildlife that’s unique to Australia. A great place to visit while in Brisbane is the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary located about 12kms south-west of the city. Here you can get up close and personal with koalas, wombats, dingoes, Tasmanian devils, crocodiles and cassowaries—to name just a few. Closer to town, a stroll through the lush and tropical City Botanical Gardens will replenish your soul amidst soaring palm trees and shady Moreton Bay Figs .

Port Coogee's unique coastal characters

Living and loving where you work

Many are quick to warn against blurring the lines between one’s private and professional life by working where you live. Perhaps they prefer to avoid running into their co-workers after hours, or maybe they’re just not fond of the neighbourhood they work in. But when co-workers are family, and the neighbourhood you work in is reminiscent of the communities of yesteryear - where children rode their bikes in quiet leafy streets and dropping by a neighbour’s place for a cup of coffee required no invitation - it’s not all that bad. In fact, for these business owners, working just a stone’s throw from home has transformed the 9-to-5 schlep into a delightful balance of work and home life.

A foot in the door: first home buyers get a look in

The conditions of the market in recent years – especially in Sydney and Melbourne – left a lot of potential first home buyers on the sidelines. Prices rose faster than deposits could be saved, and every auction felt like a dagger to the heart as the goal of home ownership slipped further from reach.
