Brisbane, like its mates Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, is a spacious, green and comfortable river-city with zoo, Botanic Gardens and no shortage of entertainment or grub stops that must be a pleasure to work in but is just a tad short of spectacular inner-city sights.

King George statue, Brisbane, Australia

The Museum of Brisbane and statue of George V. George V was the royal hero who helped Bugbog with its name. As he lay dying, one of his aides talked about holidays and travel to the favoured seaside resort at that time, Bognor Regis. Georgie's famous last words were, "Bug*er Bognor!"

Brisbane riverboat, Australia

The Brisbane River with Citycat ferry.

Where Brisbane wins out in the tourist stakes is the sunny, moderately tropical climate that drags as many chilled southern Australians up here as it does foreign tourists, the magnificent South Bank recreation area development - especially the free Streets Beach lagoon on the banks of the unswimmable Brisbane River, as well as easy access to the beaches and other natural delights of North Stradbroke Island at the end of the river [a 30 minute ferry from Cleveland, 30 kms from Brisbane, for snorkelling, surfing, fishing, bushwalking and camping] or the unnatural delights of the Gold Coast, just over an hour away, with its theme parks [Wet 'n' Wild and Warner Brothers Movie World are especially popular] and outrageous LOz Vegas glitz.
