I came to Brisbane in 1969. Brisbane has come a long way from a big sleepy country town to the modern metropolis of today.

Moved back to Brisbane two years ago after spending 23 years in Melbourne and Sydney. The place has definitely grown and glowed up in 23 years. I’m loving being back.

As someone that lives in Brisbane, I think he chose the right things to show

I live in Brisbane, Australia and I personally feel that it is one of the most liveable cities and very peaceful with a low population but still has all the big city amenities. Probably what Sydney/Melbourne used to be 20 years or so ago. Its all about the branding on a global scale - that Sydney and Melbourne are the best cities in Australia so they're growing rapidly at 100k+ people added per year and that is contributing to rising house prices. Brisbane is relatively more affordable on that front and does have exciting places such as the Goldcoast and the Sunshine Coast on its doorstep. Not to mention the fantastic all-year round sunny weather. It is only lacking in public transport and infrastructure and a bit of entertainment/culture but that is soon to change in the lead up to the 2032 Olympics with Queens Wharf, Brisbane Metro, Waterfront Brisbane and Cross River Rail.

Your video captures some of the most beautiful scenes in Brisbane, introduces some of the best activities to do in the city center, and unintrusively gives us information about the costs of living in the city. Thank you.

How does this guy not have a million subscribers????... his content is AMAZING!

This is honestly the best video I’ve ever seen of Brisbane, You showed things others don’t and it really showed a different vibe :)

I so loved Brisbane when I was there in 1999 and 2000, I have so got to return "one day" 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Wow what a great video of Brisbane. A beautiful part of Australia

We love Brisbane…Beautiful weather and beautiful city

Beautifully shot. I have lived here my adult life (a long time) and didn't realise there are so many secret places Brissie has. I'm going to West End this weekend.

Well said intro. Suburbs are growing outward, CBD, South Bank, West End, and inner city suburbs are growing upwards.

Nice vlog bro. The city looks cool through your lens. I will check out some more.

Wow, you’ve made my city look amazing! Great video, I’m glad you had a good time.

Best Video on Brisbane, thanks

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So humble you were about this!!!!!!! Awesome to meet you!

Great video thank you for sharing !!!!

I'm so glad you loved my home, Brisbane. Born and bred here for 62 years.

Your video popped into my feed. I definitely agree with the title. AND with the Olympics on the horizon, I think Brisbane is THE city in Australia now.

Lived in Brisbane from 2007 to 2015, was fantastic and I enjoyed it, but the sad reality is it's become too expensive and real estate unaffordable for too many people, makes me sad as I planned to move back in 2025 after 10 years in a rural setting, but now that dream is gone

Awesome video :)

Hopefully my next visit❤

Brisbane is a beautiful city, but if too many people goes there, it's over ... I really loved my experience in Brisbane because it's a little city with all good side of a Big City ....I was in Sydney before, it was horrible : bad weather, too many people, very expensive about life cost ...

Nice video. Glad you like Brissie!

Yes,I agree with you.

moving to brisbane from the uk at the end of the year - thanks for the vid sir🫡🧡.

When I was in Australia in June & July of 2017, one of my weekly stops was Brisbane. I really really loved the city and the vibe I got off the place. It's not as hustle & bustle as Melbourne or Sydney, but I think that's what I really liked about it. Just feels different but has all the amenities of a large city without the uppity-ness. Add to it amazing weather and beautiful beaches nearby (Moreton Island, Stradbroke "Straddie" Island, Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast) plus tons of outdoors options and you've got a winning combination. I hope to return to Brisbane again!

Brisbane is my hometown. Fascinating to watch the amazing growth and energy that has transformed Brisbane to become the second largest city in Australia.

Great video, beautiful places of Brisbane Australia, big Like 511, new subscriber, greetings from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 👍🤩

Great video. You really captured the city well. A minor correction. The big steel bridge is called the Story Bridge (not Stony).

Bro, well done on showing some of Brissy's hot spots! I live on the Sunny Coast and the kids and I love visiting Brissy. Suncorp stadium should get a mention too. I think it's the best large stadium in Oz to watch sports as well as a world class band or entertainer every now and again. Cheers.

Awesome

We are coming Australia... ❤

Thanks for checking out my city!

Leo! Like, that's amaznig travel!

Area-wise, Brisbane is about the biggest city, including it's suburbs of all cities. It's massive and people are beggining now, to sleep on the streets with their children because they can't afford a home or a rental. It's wonderful if you're looking from outside.

Lived in Brisbane for 16 years after coming from uk , now moving up to cairns

Congratulations it's perfect video

I dream about living in Australia 😊

The Southbank area was originally constructed for Expo88 - much of infrastructure there is inherited from that event, or expanded upon afterwards. Having the Qld Museum and QPAC within the area is also a drawcard

♥ Brisbane

QLD tourism should hire you. Fantastic video

Brisbane has always been the best city (after Perth). Best is it's location. Tropical islands less than 2 hours away, north coast, south coast, rainforest and waterfalls.

Nice video ❤❤❤❤❤

For most of my life I have lived in South East Queensland. Thank God my parents immigrated here when I was 2yo. Now 68, been around the the world twice, and visited 25 countries. This is the best place in the world.

Yes and brisbane is so close to gold coast and sunshine coast. With 50 cent public transport for queensland in august 2024. Yould go from brisbane to gold coast for 50 cents AUD using your GO card

deadass live in brisbane and haven't seen like half these places before haha

4:25 The "Story" Bridge 😉

Go and look up the history of Brisbane’s ‘Boundary Streets’

i am a Melbourne expat..now live 45 km north of Brisbane center..just about right.

You might like Perth and Adelaide. Sunny and dry.

It’s a great city.. although it’s bit hard to beat the natural beauty of Sydney and the urban culture of Melbourne..

5 Maret 2023 Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 Great City

Far out you make brissy look good XD, although I love the city in my time there never seen it look as good as in this video. Good advertisement though, appreciate it, QLD is by far best state

Nice video! I love Brisbane, sans all the homeless people. It's best place on Earth to live, in my view. Question: how were you able to edit out the heaps of homeless people from your footage? Final Cut Pro must have some great new features! 😂

As a resident living here, I honestly cannot wait to get out.

Brisbane is actually gigantic but if you're a tourist you'll probably never explore out of the CBD and surrounding suburbs (like the guy in this video)

I have been here 43 years it will Not replace Sydney

Born here, rise here, educated here, work here. Loved here, but I really don’t won’t Brisbane to become another Sydney and Melbourne, like toll roads, Pay Carpark at the shopping centre, lots of fix speed camera , overpopulated, awful traffic jams and of course No Daylight Saving!

BrisVegas?

Just wish Brisbane kept its trams because its a very hilly city like San Francisco it would be very handy these days..

BINGO AND BLUEY WAS BORN IN BRISBANE AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 MATE

💝💖🇩🇿🇺🇸🇩🇿🇺🇸🇩🇿🇺🇸💖💝

Brisbane is great. Fortitude Valley desperately need a facelift.

Could you write legend in portuguese please?

Brisbane.

If I was to leave Perth, Brisbane would be my choice. It's the wife that doesn't want to move.

Used to be the joke of Australia. But Brisbane has certainly gone ahead in leaps and bounds.

Story Bridge, not Stony.

Perth 😭

Stony Bridge?

did you just call the valley endearing? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m a person that currently lives in Brisbane here to give you some fair warning about 2 things if you’re planning to move here: 1. Cost of living is nothing to sneeze at (pretty pricey at times especially if you’re near and in the city). And 2. During the day it’s usually pretty chill but at night around 10 people that are moody and can’t handle their liquor (in the worst way possible) come out and I suggest you don’t stick around or keep the interacts with any of those people to the bare minimum if at all possible. Apart from that the city pretty peaceful for the majority of the time.

What about perth wa? )

Oh, and never call it fucking Brisvegas! That'll get you a slap real quick.

If Brisbane doesn't have a proper beach then it can't be best Australian city. Perth is the stand out city in Australia. But Brisbane for sure appear to be doing the right things.

And watch it all sink after the Olymics have gone in about a decade.

Melbourne and Sydney people always bring up their “culture”, dining or beaches, but 90% of people never appreciate any of it because they have to live too far away from anything because only the wealthiest can actually afford to live close to the culture/restaurants/beaches 😂

Lol

Brisbane needs more higher density in it's middle ring suburbs.. Still way to low and so much development potential..

Don't include gold coast as part of Brisbane lol

You know how to say Brisbane properly but not Melbourne?

Brisbane is great but since the housing crisis 9/10ppl have been priced out of the city. Any advantage to living in Brisbane is now gone bcoz it's as expensive as Sydney/Melbourne.

I lived in Brisbane in the late 70s. I absolutely detested the place. A lot has changed since then, apparently.

If you move 3km away from Brisbane cbd, you will see Brisbane is 10 years behind Sydney and Melbourne.

Bad experience here for the last 15 years, moving to Melbourne later this year, will be glad to be gone.

Every city will slowly suck the life out of you. Brisbane will do that that to. On top of that, the extreme dull and sleepy atmosphere (not much is open) will speed up the grey hairs.

I get it, Brisbane hosting the Olympics in a several years. But its simply cannot compete with the world cities of Melbourne and Sydney. Brisbane's tier is completing for a 3rd spot with Perth and Adelaide... that being said it's a nice place

Brisneyland

Brisbane has gone from a nice friendly city to a traffic nightmare. Takes hours to get anywhere. Public transport is poor at best. Peak hours are the worst by far. The City Cat is the best way to get around if you live near the river. The"Valley" is the worst place to be after dark... a shithole.

Just FYI people that have lived in Brisbane for 20+ years didn't want anyone from Victoria or NSW to move here during covid.... You all litterly ruined Brisbane... Before covid Brisbane was great to live in but now it costs the same as Sydney and Melbourne to live in, litterly ruined by over population

It's really not

I live here for my sins

You couldn't find someone who can pronounce Melbourne? And someone who doesn't know Southbank and West End aren't the same thing?

Horrible infrustructure. Poor city planning. Terrible public transport. Barely any casual eating options, especially past 10pm at night. Swathes of people moving in from Sydney and Melbourne driving house prices through the roof. There is constantly traffic and they arent expanding the roads to accommodate.

Where are the black people? 😢

The Federal government dont want to see Brisbane become like Sydney or Melbourne. A few years ago , I was driving from Sydney to Brisbane, I was shock the Pacific Highway only 1 lane on each side unlike Melbourne-Sydney 2 lanes on each side. The 21 century , people catch plane to travel not driving car like in the old days and government refuse to invest on the Pacific Highway. Can you imagine how many Australian die on Pacific highway with their Holden Commondore? If you think Brisabne going to be Top city , you have rock in your head.All the big boys from the big end of town will not allow the Queenslanders growing up. keep oi oi oi and it hurt so much.

You say "Brisbane has the most Australian culture". Please define Australian culture. If you can measure it, as you imply you have, you must have defined it. Throughout my lifetime Australian culture has always been changing. I will be interested in your definition.

Get out of Oz. It’s done

All cities are the same,I’ve lived in Melbourne,Sydney,Brisbane,Perth,Darwin,but not Adelaide and they all have the same things in common-high crime rates,overpopulation,too many cars,air pollution,weirdos,and people that wouldn’t give you the time of day. I moved out to the country 10 years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I recently went to Brisbane and I now realise why I moved out to the country,it’s a rat race and they can stick their cities you know where.
