Cunningly shortened to Brissy, Brisbane is Queensland's capital and its largest city and was my penultimate stop before Sydney. As Oz cities go, its nothing special, both Melbourne and Sydney have more attractions and Perth is a little prettier. The banks of the river are beautifully designed with relaxing walkways, but I felt all this, like much of the city was not decked out for the tourists but its inhabitants. Brisbane is a not really set up for the casual backpacking tourist but to live in I reckon it would be a bonza place.
After Brisbane I headed back for one night and day in Surfers Paradise. I was there the day before the Indie 300, so the coastal town was quite busy and the promotion made the town a little more appealing on the eye, even if there was nothing else particularly special about it.
