The Brisbane River is a sedimentary river. It's brown. The beach is a man-made pool at South Bank. Yes, we have palm trees. Brissy is subtropical.

I came to brisbane from country victoria for a holiday to visit a high school friend when i was 20. i never went home. 25 years later, I have been all over the country and world and I still wouldnt want to live anywhere else but South East QLD. its paradise to me.

like many Aussie words we ram the last few letters together when we pronounce them. Brisbane is pronounced Bris-bn, Melbourne is Mel-Bn, Canberra is Can-bra. Canberra is both the state capitol of the ACT (Australian Capitol Territory) and the National Capitol. State capitols are: Queensland (QLD) - Brisbane New South Wales (NSW) - Sydney Victoria (VIC) - Melbourne South Australia (SA) - Adelaide Western Australlia (WA) - Perth Northern Territory (NT) - Darwin Tasmania (TAS) - Hobart

There are about 50 Palm trees that are native too Australia. They are integral part of the tropical rainforests..ie, “The Bangalow Palm”

G'day from Brisbane., Queensland. The Brisbane River was very polluted 40 years ago, but today it is very clean in spite of it's colour.

I came to Brisbane in April 2000. Fell in love with city, people and weather. 23 years on and I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Came to Brisbane 22 years ago for a seven day stay, after 3 days I’d quit my job back home and decided on a new life here. Brisbane is sub tropical so the weather is near perfect for outdoor living. Playing sport, Camping, hiking, 4wding, bbqing or just sitting outside at a cafè. It’s enclosed to the North & South by rainforests (Sunshine Coast & Gold Coast hinterlands) that are an amazing way to pass your time. Favourite place in Australia, wouldn’t live anywhere else!

Hey there, I used to be a climb leader for the Story Bridge, it is one of 5 bridge's in the world that you can climb (three of which can be found in Australia). It's 80m tall (from the river - 35m from the road) and construction finished in 1940.

The ACT (Canberra) is inside NSW but it’s not considered part of NSW, it’s its own territory.

What a great Friday arvo surprise in Brisbane where it's 31degC and 81% humidity now at 5pm. Good work Ryan.

Hey Ryan, this is where i grew up. I thought you might like to know, when you say looks like the Ohio River where people are walking down a ramp on the Story Bridge, you look across to some cliffs. Those cliffs were hand cut by convicts to get beautiful blocks of stone to make some of the earliest buildings in Brisbane. There is many beautiful heritage buildings & stone walls around Brisbane CBD built by those convicts. The river goes for about 60km or more & in some places goes through giant sedimentary cliffs that erode to make the clay colored water. The river is actually a healthy river system, clear upstream for 30 or 40km before the clay deposits. There is an abundance of big fish from the mountains to the ocean. Jeremy Wade from River Monsters caught a 7 foot Groper not far from the Gateway Bridge 5 min from the city. You sometimes see dolphins playing in the murky water near the botanical gardens & at the other extreme there is still Platypus living upstream at the rivers end. Its a beautiful city filled with super friendly people who love to kick their shoes off & enjoy the days in paradise. 1 hour in each direction to the most beautiful white sandy beaches in our whole country, its considered the most livable city in Australia.

I was born in Brisneyland, grew up here, lived on the doorstep of Moreton Bay, and now I'm back. When I lived in Adelaide and Canberra (never again) I pined for Brissy. My Great Grandfather (James Palmer) was the lighthouse keeper on Moreton Island in the early 1900's. So much history here for my family. It really is a beautiful city.

The tourism slogan for QLD was “Beautiful one day, perfect the next” and that’s so true. I lived in Brisbane for a couple of years back in approx 2004 and it’s an absolutely stunning place! Even back then the transport system was great, the city was clean, the buildings a mix of older and new but blended together so well. The parks there are amazing and so many day or weekend trips you can do nearby. I really miss living there but it is very humid and I prefer colder climates. Would highly recommend Brisbane to everyone. The only things I would change would be to build a huge bio-dome over the city and air- condition it 😂 and dye the river blue! 😂😂😂

Brisbane River is locally known as the 'brown snake'

I moved from Sydney to Brisbane 17 years ago. I'd never go back. The people, the weather the city. Just love it. ❤️

brisbane was the highlight of 1988 when it hosted the EXPO 88 it was the highlight of my life

As someone who has lived in Brisbane from a long time after emigrating from South Africa, I have to say that Expedia video doesn't even show the best parts. The Gorge Walk on the Pacific ocean on Stradbroke Island where you can see dolphins and humpback whales, the miles and miles of white sand beaches roughly an hour's drive away, the incredible hiking trails, the amazing and super cheap CityCat catamaran boats that we use as public transport all up and down the river, the super chill and relaxed people, the large, comfortable wooden Queenslander homes built up high to let air flow under them in the hot season, the absolute safety and security of the place, all of these are great reasons to visit. Many parts of Brisbane still have a bit of that "village" feel, which is very pleasant and lot of my overseas guests remark on how warm and welcoming the place feels. I love living here!

Brissy is the third largest city in Australia. It's a beautiful place. On the Brisbane River. Sydney is the capital of NSW, Melbourne of VIctoria, Adelaide of South Aust, Perth of Western Aust, Hobart of Tasmania and Canberra is the Aussie capital. That "beach" is a manmade one on the Brisbane River. Yes, the river is brown. Remember Ryan, Queensland is sub tropical, so palm trees are common. I lived in Brissy for more than 30 years. This video has made me homesick.

Brissy (Brizzy) is the capital of the State Queensland. Southbank (the beach is a man made beach in the city) is very popular with locals and visitors.

Lived in Brisbane 71 yrs never heard the river called brown snake !

Hey Ryan, I'm from Brisbane and love it here. I recommend that you look into the entire South East Queensland region for a taste of what it is really like to live here. The entire region is very interconnected and most of the locals spend their lives traveling throughout the region enjoying everything it has to offer. I love your videos as they make me appreciate this incredible country even more. If you ever decided to visit or move to Australia you would not regret it.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Brisbane subscriber here …love Queensland and we have all you need so close

So good to see an american giving credit where its due. Im from melbourne but brisbane is amazing. Cairns is to die for. A place called atherton is heaven and the daintree rainforest is magical. Australia has so much to offer.

I’ve lived in Brisbane all my life, and it’s fantastical. Everywhere you go there’s greenery and new developments all around. We even finally are hosting the olympics!

Happy Arvo from North Brisbane. Bloody boiling here today 🥵 Yes, I was proposed to at riverfire (fireworks along the Brisbane river) at Southbank back in 2000. Still happily married 🥰 Yes we have lots of various native palm trees, especially in the tropics.

G’day from Brisbane 👋 gotta say having travelled overseas a fair bit Brisbane is definitely a great place to live…. Even if summer is bloody boiling (rest of the year is usually very pleasant).

Brisbane has been awarded the 2032 Olympic Games so we are definitely getting an infrastructure boost between now and then. Its a great city to live in.

as a brissie man myself, I can attest that it is, in fact, awesome.

I love Brisbane ❤

Love the way Ryan spelt Brisbanne (Brisbane) I used to live in Brisbane, I loved it, honestly my favourite Australian city (although in Summer the heat and humidity is oppressive) FWIW - Canberra - Capital of Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. Darwin - Capital of the Northern Territory Jervis Bay Village - Capital of Jervis Bay Territory Perth - Capital of Western Australia Adelaide - Capital of South Australia Melbourne - Capital of Victoria Hobart - Capital of Tasmania (the funky little island off the bottom of the country) Sydney - Capital of New South Wales Brisbane - Capital of Queensland Flying Fish Cove - Capital of Christmas Island Kingston - Capital of Norfolk Island West Island - Capital of Cocos (Keeling) Island

Brisbane is so relaxed and easy to live in and never feels crowded or manic like Sydney and Melbourne. We still call it a big country town. I currently park myself on one of the Moreton Bay Islands and I only remember Brisbane is there when I occasionally get the ferry to the big island. (Australia) It is my favourite of all the Capital cities.

That skyscraper with the lights…those lights change slowly change shape and pulsate over the course of the evening. We go a bit crazy with the lights on the bridges, buildings and other places here. That steel bridge can do some amazing multicoloured lighting tricks from time to time.

Canberra isn't in New South Wales. Just like DC, it's in its own territory - the Australian Capital Territory. When Burger King came to Australia they found that someone had already registered the name, so they called it Hungry Jack's. Sure we have palm trees. Remember that a significant proportion of the country is in the tropics. When you come to Sydney you have to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's an amazing experience.

Brisbane was the last city I lived in before leaving Australia. I was there for the flood in 2011(?). I woke up one day to find fish flopping around outside on the road in front of my apartment. Also - watch out for sharks in that river.

Hey Ryan, great video as always! Thanks for shining light on our beautiful city. I would love for you to make a video on Hungry Jack's, Australia's Burger King which I happen to work at. I got to meet the owner Jack Cowin at our annual gala, he's a very nice man. Our company Hungry Jack's is a proudly Aussie owned company with over 50 years of history.

Love that I love living in Brissy 💫❤️💫🇦🇺✌🏻

One of the news programs in Brisbane uses live vision of Brisbane and the Storey Bridge as their back drop. During the Covid lockdowns, when the hotels were very empty, one of the hotels that was regularly shown as part of the back drop would have patterns showing via lights on and curtains closed to create images. To this day, this hotel will occasionally do this - whether it is a heart for Valentine's Day, or a remembrance ribbon for various commemorations.

4:00 that isn't a beach it's an artificial swimming location in the centre of the city

Brizzy local here. That video definitely brushed very quickly over the "hot humid summers" :) It's 9:30pm local as I write this and temp is down to 30C (86F) and 75% humidity, giving an apparent (Feels like) temp of 35C (95F)! Overnight minimum is supposed to be 26C (79F) but it doesn't feel like it's going to drop that far. On the plus side, last winter the days were mostly into the high teens or low 20s (60-70F). Brisbane used to be called a big country town but, since World Expo 88, that's stopped being true. Having the Olympics here in 2032 will move us even further away from that old view. Come visit - we'll buy you a beer!

The Brisbane river is brown due to the fact that it is on mud plains and not pollution. Brisbane river is also the river with the most amount of Bull sharks in the world and they have been found as far inland as Ipswich

I live in Brisbane, on the north side. Great city. And we are central to everything. 15 minutes to redcliffe and surrounds beaches, 30 minutes to the city or airport, 40 minutes to Bribie Island, 90 minutes to either the Gold Coast or the sunny coast. It's an awesome place.

I worked in the building you were excited by (111 Eagle Street) when it was first built. It is an office building. The "vines" are automatic, whereas the lights in the floors turn off if they haven't sensed movement for over a certain amount of time.

I live in a Logan suburbs. 20 minutes from Brisbane City where I grew up. 1 hour to beach or rainforest or dry areas inland. I love living here as it has everything.

5:12 yes that is the Burger King logo, just renamed because we already had a Burger King when they tried using the same name in Australia. Burger King lost the court case and is called Hungry Jacks over here.

Love Brisbane. And yes you did pronounce it correctly by the end. Only been there 3 times in December and January and it was very humid for this Adelaidian. More humid than when I went to Singapore. But it’s a great city and so close to some beautiful places like the glass house mountains.

That’s an old video too. The wharf underneath the story bridge has been completely transformed into a bustling space of amazing restaurants and bars, called Howard Smith Wharves 🤗

Thanks Ryan , I have lived in Brisbane most of my life. The winter is not like winters in the other states. Summer , is hot and humid. But you get used to the summer , especially with air con. We are generally a friendly mob. I wouldn't live anywhere else. Please do a video of Dame Edna. As you did a video of her / his alter ego , Sir Les Patterson .

The Brisbane River is well known as the Brown Snake by locals. The river is brown due to poor turbidity from dredging from 1862 onwards. It’s something the state is trying to improve but obviously it comes at a cost.

Just visited Brisbane! It's a beautiful city

I do love living in Brizzy! Apparently we were one of the most humid places on earth today....An absolutely stunning city though ..... You've gotta come here when you come to Australia 🙂

Currently having a “staycation” with hubby this weekend. Been a few years since we were in here for work and play. Brisbane is the quiet achiever. Currently the city is terrible with underwater bus tunnels and transit excavation.. but normally brisbane is one of the best. The history rich, architecture.. and having been recently to Sydney and Bondi… I have to say we have the best museums, we have the nicest zoos and plenty of them, and with the Goldie to the south and Sunny coast to the north, and bribie in between , we have the best beaches. Where we live outside of Brissie , we use to have a zoo 5 min drive, but now it’s moved (thanks to mowing Down it all and outing up houses) but Australia zoo is 20 mins, Steve Irwin’s dad soo is at the big pineaple(most animals rescue From previous zoo) which is just a little way up the road, there is a bird sanctuary in Malany, a butterfly house on bribie, stacks of stuff.. our restaurants are better, hotels .. beaches from Gold Coast to way up north are all beautiful.. not a one is bad.. but don’t make a mistake most do..‘Qld is big. It takes us 14 hours to drive constant to see our daughter in Townsville. It’s big with so much to do.. gardens and walks.. and that’s not even starting out west with all its glory.. red dirt, gemmfeilds, dinosaurs.. great road tripping and the observatory out at Charleville.. amazing. Last visit we saw the sun , actually through a special scope.. anyway we have so much stuff .. just ask the locals.

As an Aussie that lives in Brisbane, I would love to show you a couple of things that not many ppl even know about

I use to work on Moreton island, the resort there is cheaper than you would expect for even a few weeks holiday. They also offer holiday houses on the island through tangalooma resort who own the island. Some of my photos are still used across the tangalooma website pages

Been living here pretty much all my life and I absolutely love it. There is SO much more to this place than the tourist presentation here.... If you ever get the chance to visit.... take it!

That 'tunnel of flowers' you refer to at the start of the video is called The Grand Arbour. It's a 1km long pedestrian walkway lined with these huge structurs on either side that supports a massive bougainvillea. I remember when it was first built and it was just these massive steel structures, quite beautiful in their own right, but very bare and sunny, with these tiny bougainvillea being trained to grow up the structure. That was probably 25 years ago. It is stunning now with all the bougainvillea having grown over the pathway to provide shade.

I live on an island very close to Moreton island (with the ship wrecks) and we often go fishing, especially close to Moreton island. It truely is a tropical paradise here😍

The Brisbane River is brown for a few reasons. It’s actually an estuary affected by the ocean tide of Moreton Bay, meaning the water exchange between up and downstream stirs a lot of sediment. It’s also been dredged since the 1800s to make it deeper for shipping. Urbanization has also played a huge part because there are now so few areas of the river that still retain the natural mangrove riverbank system - which help remove silt and clean the water. Thankfully the dredging has reduced incredibly and now occurs out toward the bay instead of up and down the length of the river. For 10-15 years Mangroves have been replanted and protected wherever possible. Recently a video taken from a high-rise along the river captured a school of about a dozen bull sharks cruising up the river - so if you’re visiting, don’t go swimming.

Australia has native palm trees, the Bangalow Palm, the Cabbage tree palm and many others. Wide spread over coastal regions, we do have the oldest rainforest in the world.

Pronunciation here is ‘Brisban’ forget the ‘e’ - born and raised in Brisbane- lived other places to, but you always come home to where you lived even for a visit- it’s changed over my life- now in my 70’s and live in Cairns- going there this April to catch up with friends and see how my hometown has changed in recent years 🥰👍🏻🇦🇺

Iove that you ask Questions of us no matter how basic to complex and learn about Australia. I hope you get to visit us soon! I'd love to introduce you to the sunny coast in Qld.

Moreton Island is pretty nice- I’ve snorkeled around that wreck, and fed dolphins there- about 10years ago- it was really beautiful!

I’ve lived here in Brisbane since I was 12 years old, I’m 34 now. My family moved here from the nsw central coast country towns, I was amazed at how large everything was (it was the first city I’d lived in) yet having lived in Melbourne and Sydney very briefly in my twenties, Brisbane is definitely much smaller and far less lively, yet it makes it much cleaner, friendlier, and laid back. I remember for most of my twenties I hated how boring this place was with not much to do or see, but now it is becoming a cultural hub with so many amazing restaurants and bars, festivals, markets, shows, and art performances. The weather is often compared to Florida, and it does get very hot and humid in Summer like it is currently. The enclosed beach you see is at Southbank one of the cultural hubs of Brisbane, it’s where the museum, art gallery and QPAC theatre is, river fire a fireworks celebration is performed here every year, and there are night markets and beautiful restaurants everywhere.

I was born here in Brisbane, however lived most of my life in Cairns far north Queensland. But I moved back to brisbane about 7 years ago now, and it's one of the best things I've ever done! I've spent time in Sydney, Melbourne, of course Cairns, and everywhere in between on the east coast. Even throughout all those places, Brisbane is an absolute gem! Such a wonderful and diverse city, and still plenty of natural beauty. A must for visitors!

Canberra is the capital of Australia and each major city (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin, Canberra, Hobart and Adelaide) are the capital cities of each State or Territory.

That beach at the start is at Southbank, an all-artificial beach and entertainment precinct, it's just across the river from the city centre.

You should check out the other capital cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart, Perth and Darwin (Northern Territory). It will give you an idea how varied the environment and cities are. The culture varies a lot between states...just like in the US.

I live across the bay from the ship wrecks (they've been cut down to the waterline now as they were a bit of a hazzard for boaties and snorkelling- but are still amazing to visit). That big assed sand dune is behind the wrecks- it takes some stamina to get to the top! 😆😆 Moreton Bay is gorgeous- we live in the best place in the world 🌎 😁

That is Brisbane. I have lived here my whole life. I loved your joy of discovering it. Thank you xoxo

I've lived all over the east coast, and I just love living in north Brisbane.

Area wise its actually one of the biggest cities in the world.. so you were spot on mate.

That building you commented on as being "cool as have old transitioning into new", is the Powerhouse Museum and just a month or two back, a new restaurant was opened there, the first in the world, where you and your table and chairs hang off the side of the building at the top, with views of the city. It is called Vertigo restaurant. Lighting of buildings: There is a building in Brisbane which started during Covid, by turning on certain lights and turning others off, creates images showing candles or supporting images for world events or trouble spots. It is often on the nightly tv news.

Ive been to. many places around the World and Brisbane would have to be the most liveable city and all round beautiful in the World.

australia has 6 states - brisbane, queensland - sydney, new south wales - melbourne, victoria - hobart, tasmania - adelaide, south australia - perth, west australia and two territories - darwin, northern territory and canberra, australia capital territory but the capital city of australia is canberra btw brisbane is called river city just as the inspector gadget movie its a great city to live in! G'day mate!

BRIZNEYLAND!! My responses as you were commenting: 😊 Do your states not have capitals? Why would you expect ours to be any different? Canberra is about 1200km south of Brissie - it's our version of Washington DC, capital of the COUNTRY, and Sydney is the capital of a STATE. Unfortunately, yes, the Brisbane River *does* look like that. Southbank is awesome and the Bougainvillea walk is excellent. That beach is an ARTIFICIAL BEACH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY. It's like a public pool, only made to look like a beach, and it is FREE FOR ANYONE TO VISIT AT ANY TIME. Wanna go for a swim at 3am? Go for your life. HJs in the city is a significant landmark. If you say "I'll meet you at HJs on Queen Street Mall" everyone knows exactly where you mean. "If you got it, mine it" - suuuuure, because it doesn't harm the environment and all the wealth goes right back to the people and doesn't line the pockets of corporations. Storey Bridge and Sydney Harbour Bridge both do Bridge Walks. As long as you are sensible and follow sensible precautions, Australia’s actually a pretty safe place believe it or not 😊 Sand dune surfing is what we have instead of snow tobogganing. Moreton Island is gorgeous but Stradbroke is also awesome. Honestly, my city is beautiful by night. I’ve lived here almost my whole life (barring about 18 months as a kid and a few months when I was in Japan in my 20s) and it’s gorgeous.

That "beach" is basically a pool, it's the artificial swimming lagoon constructed at Southbank. When we converted the 88 expo into the Southbank parklands.

We call the Brisbane River the Brown Snake because of the colour. I think it’s because it’s tidal. We have lots of palm trees. It’s a great city to live in.

Thanks for posting and your not stupid. It's essentially a big country town but I love it ♥️

Pronounced "Bris-BEN". That beach was a man-made beach and lagoon beside the river. It's in the inner city and popular. Lots of eateries nearby, in an area referred to as Southbank. Hungry Jacks IS burger king, but the name was already taken when they arrived in Oz. Brisbane used to be the largest city in the world in area, but Los Angeles extended its boundaries and took the title. Not sure which city is largest in area these days, but Brisbane is huge. Palm trees always grew here as coconuts are carried by the ocean currents and deposited everywhere. They are not native to the country, but have been here for a very long time. You have to pay to climb the bridge and go with a guide. It's expensive. (Same with the Harbour bridge in Sydney.) The Segways look different because they have larger tyres for use in the sand. I lived and worked in Brisbane for 15 years, and I also lived in Sydney and its surrounds for seven years. Brisbane wins, hands down. I don't like any cities, but if I had to live in one again, I'd choose Brisbane. Hopefully I will never have to do that again. You would definitely like Brisbane, though.

Ryan, copy and paste following list, and keep it safe for further reference mate lol Capital city of Australia is Canberra - Our nations capital. Capital city of New South Wales NSW is Sydney - State capital Capital city of Victoria Vic is Melbourne - State capital Capital city of Queensland QLD is Brisbane - State capital Capital city of South Australia SA is Adelaide - State capital Capital city of Northern Territory NT is Darwin - State capital Capital city of Western Australia WA is Perth - State capital Capital city of Tasmania TAS is Hobart - State capital

One of the best thing being deployed in Brisbane during Australia days, cairns and twonsville is the raaf will fly through the city, loved it because I was army seeing the gunship brings pride to me Edit: these blokes saved me more than once

Thanks for checking out our city

There are at least 4 dozen species of palm trees in Australia and can be found in all states including Tasmania , Brisbane pronounced Brisbin is subtropical and is the home to all tropical plants and palms including the coconut palm . The river is murky because of sediments but is unpolluted, the city council built a beach sand lagoon for their citizens and people can enjoy the beach experience without a journey to the coast which as you'd expect is spectacular. Brisbane is a terrific place to visit and I love the place its a good place to use as a base while visiting Queensland because you can travell easily from there to the tourist attractions of the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast the hinterland cities and towns and it is the gateway to northern Queensland with the Great Barrier Reef and its Islands and resorts . The only downside is that Brisbane is the home of the Queensland state of origin Rugby league Football Team who have beaten the NSW team more times than is warranted (I'm convinced that the games must be fixed) . The bottom line is Brisbane is a beautiful place and should be on any visitor to Australia itinerary .

Brisbane is the third largest city in the world by area (1,343sq km). In 1925 it basically swallowed up 20 other local authorities. It is a massive sprawl whose commuting distance reaches from Noosa in the north to Coolangatta in the south and Toowoomba in the west. It also has the highest tree coverage of Australian capital cities at 44 percent, which is why everything looks so green from the top of Mount Coo-tha. The Brisbane City Council area has a bigger population and a bigger budget than Tasmania. And it's stinking hot and humid today!

The QLD museum contains the ONLY fully intact WWI German tank in the world now in a climate controlled room to preserve it. When I was a child, it was on the front lawn of the museum. Children, myself included, used to climb all over it. We only became aware of this when the Germans were planning a historical event about WWI and had to come here to check out what their tanks looked like. This tank has an interesting history, of trickery and determination.

Pronounced Brisbun. basically..or of course us locals call it BrisVegas. actually now I say it a few times it does sound more like Bris-bin. is sort of halfway between bun and bin hahaha..just never say Bris=BAIN

You can actually climb the more iconic (and bigger) Sydney Harbour Bridge. And in NSW's Blue Mountains (not far from Sydney), they've just opened up a new attraction where you can ride on the roof of their cable car! Maybe we really are a crazy people. 🤣

Ryan, bring your family and visit the land down under. I try to visit a city or tourist hot spot each year down here in Australia, and there is just so much to see and do. Tasmania was this year's trip with an 11-day driving holiday, and it was awesome.

The building with the squiggly lines is the Ernst&Young building, the lines emulate the giant fig trees growing nearby. Those lines aren't actually windows but beams that flow down the interior of the building.

I emailed you the pictures of kangaroos lazing about in my yard from my kitchen window while I was making my morning coffee 😊 I did have a video to send but my email provider said it was too big 🙄

Rewind after talking you always miss narrators answering your questions you usually ask just before or after they have said the answer😂

Yep, the Brissy river is brown. It’s called the Brown Snake. Brisbane is huge geographically and now includes a corridor to the Gold Coast in the south and the Sunshine Coast in the north. You were right! It was 37 degrees Celsius today and I thought I was melting with no aircon but that’s only 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit 🥵. I work in one of those buildings you saw in the city and live 10 minutes from the Storey Bridge, the one they were climbing. We’re not the most beautiful city but we’re very friendly.

Canberra is the Capital of the Australian Capital Territory, and also Australia and the ACT also has a beach at Jervis Bay as part of their Territory. The river is usually a bit cleaner since they stopped dredging the river bed, but with the big rains it gets stirred up a bit. Brisbane City Council is the 3rd largest City in the world by square kilometres under one level of government. Australia has 3 bridge climbs, NZ has one, out of only half a dozen or so bridge climbs around the world. Moreton Island, the 2nd or 3rd largest Sand Island in the world, behind Fraser Island K'Gari about 200km north, and Stradbroke Island a few hundred metres to the south..

We call the Brisbane River the brown snake. It winds its way through the city. I hope you and your family make it here one day.

No the palm trees and coconut trees are native. Also the building mentioned as the museum is actually city hall.

I’m a Brisbanite and live on the river in the CBD. This was definitely filmed a long while ago because there is a massive bar and brewery precinct under the bridge now that is not on this vid and some of the things in that mall were torn down years ago.

Fun fact, Brisbane local government area is the second largest in the world behind LA. It was the largest for a very long time. Canberra is the capital of Australia located in the Australian Capital territory.

I Sydney it is actually an amazing place

Fact: Brisbane is the 3rd largest city in Australia, Melbourne being the 2nd biggest and Sydney being the biggest

There are a lot of videos about Moreton island on KZfaq, you should check some of them out. Moreton island is so beautiful and you need a 4x4, ATV or to be on foot to explore it as there are only dirt roads. I spent a week over there exploring the island in 2021. It is truly gorgeous with a lot of history. The locals make you feel so welcome and everyone visiting is up for a good chat. I met a couple from the UK who were walking around the whole island and camping, it took them about two weeks. Whenever we drove past them, we always gave them a cold beer and stopped for a chat. Great memories made there.
