You missed a lot of Brisbane's great points. Brisbane has walking paths and bike paths everywhere - even all the way to the coastal suburbs on Morton Bay. The Gold Coast is about 45 min. drive and and Sunshine Coast is about an hour drive. Some great theme parks about 30 mins drive - Wet N Wild, Movie World, etc. Great shopping centres everywhere. Two awesome world class universities. Some amazing national parks within 2 hours drive - Springbrook, Glass House Mountains, Binna Burra, and more. Don't know many places in the world where you can stand close to 2,000+ year old trees. Brisbane seems to have a very low crime rate for a city of it's size. People are mostly happy / friendly. Used to live in Brisbane, then moved away, but returned about 10 years ago and re-discovered what a beautiful, wonderful city it is.

Cars also need to be more accountable. Aus dash cams youtube is frightening stuff.

I was sceptical when I saw you were doing a video on Brisbane coming from interstate. I was pleasantly surprised you did a great job. My pet hate is the Mexicans coming over the border and trying to change our lifestyle. I am a born and bred Brisbanite and I hate Daylight Savings. We are are more easy going not as fast paced as Sydney and Melbourne, we go interstate and drag our legs with daylight savings nice for a holiday good to come home. The shops, when we went to Manly NSW it was a shock to us how the shops were open so late and so many people out shopping. We try not to buy milk at the Servo’s but go to the local IGA who open a little earlier and close a little bit later. I prefer the warm weather to winter but we do go below double digits in winter. To escape the heat we have the Theme Parks with a lot of water activities plus the best beaches with Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, also a trip to Tamborine Mountain or O’Reillys on a hot day always cooler there. But our favourite place to escape the heat is the shopping centres from Westfields to Harbourtown and more. The price of real estate has increased dramatically since you made this video, will make it hard to trade up for the locals and the younger generation, it will be the haves and have nots, that is a bit sad. We also have beautiful bayside from Scarborough, Redcliffe, Wynnum, Wellington Point, and the best islands. Fraser, Moreton, Straddie, Russell, Macleay, Lamb and a Karragarra. Plus amazing waterfalls at Warwick - The Falls drive including Queen Mary Falls. Gold Coast - Purlingbrook Falls, Sunshine Coast - Kondalilla Falls. Sunshine Coast - Buderim Ginger Factory. So many places to go in a day or a weekend. As you said “A lot of festivals in Brisbane such as Riverfire” but also throughout QLD many events as well such as Toowoomba “Carnival of Flowers.” And also “We always thank the bus driver, we were taught to do this as kids.”

Another thing people don’t realise is how hot it is walking through the CBD in summer in a suit or work clothes, not everyone works in semi-casual clothes and there aren’t any trams so people take Uber small distances unless you want to arrive at your appointment a hot mess. There’s also only 2 CBD train stops, Central is miles from Alice St for example a big walk in summer ( I know another station is being built) It’s not a comfortable walking city unless you’re in casual clothes and fit enough to walk in that heat in summer

Instead he ended up with a kind of angular concrete Brutalist/squat Corbusier monstrosity that Brisbane is now stuck with.

I'd just choose somewhere with convenient transport if you don't want to cycle in. Cycling, the hills can be pretty challenging, but maybe you enjoy that. One good thing is they're putting in more and more cycling lanes in and close to the cbd.

As a Brisbane born boy and much later as an actual resident (returning for uni after formative years in Cairns) I watched it develop between 1999 to 2009 and was personally involved in the king george square busway terminal as an architectural graduate. It felt like a big country town that somehow had capital city vibes (visually & culturally) and public transport including the ferries which are so much fun! Access to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coasts was also a good perk although the traffic is getting bad on the freeways. Slightly less multi-cultural than southern counterparts but still has diversity and access to great dining. Since retailing is shifting to online these days then opening hours is only critical for access to food & beverage options as super markets aren’t open till midnite like Sydney & Melbourne. There’s only a handful of true eat street destinations but enough to be civilised. Nite life was amazing. Miss my hometown.... says the now sydneysider.

thanks for this Adam, you might want to upgrade the property price info though as it has gone crazy since you made the video. I have to say that the most annoying thing i still find after 15 years here is that there is NO cafe life after 2.30pm. And businesses do NOT change their hours to meet demand; even if there's a festival venue next door they will still shut at 2.30pm or whatever.. I think the Olympics build up will change a lot of this as i saw in Sydney across the 1990s. Oh and the humidity is more like 60-75% through a normal summer.

Hey Adam, You have put so much work into this video and it's paid off with it reach. I really liked several editing varieties and helped you stay intrigued. Two point I had about the information and I suppose it depends where you live and your prior experiences. 1 - Yes most of the major supermarkets are closed early on the weekend, but if your lucky to have the DFO right beside you, then there is a 24 hr Woolworths always on hand. It's not my normal shopping place, but if I'm ever out of those normal hours needing something, I know it's always there :) 2 - Day light savings I have experienced a lot and I'm not saying it's the absolute best. As a child it did mean you were hanging outside, playing a lot longer and people do get more done as they are prone to sleep in anyway. I tend to exercise early morning and hate that it's too dark outside to wander the streets on my own, so daylight saving would kill that even more. Although, I would love daylight savings only to stop the confusion of being on a different time zone with NSW and VIC for 6 months of the year - I find that a pain :) lol
@BrisbaneChannel
@BrisbaneChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I knew about he DFO Woolies, but it's just so far from most people that it's not really a practical thing to rely on. And yes, having states that are on the same time for part of the year and different at other times is a pain for sure! But I still dislike daylight savings (which I lived with for about as much of my life as I have had without it) because I set my schedule to the sun rather than clocks, so while it changes over the year, it's always a gradual change. That sudden one hour shift really threw me every time. I understand that people working "regular" jobs need to be tied more to the clock than natural time signals, so I'm in the minority. I get that.

One thing about food, while Brisbane proper-- especially the northern suburbs-- are lacking in food diversity and late night cafes... Southern Brisbane and the neighbouring city of Logan are open quite late around cultural hubs and have a much wider array of food. Mideastern food, Asian restaurants and cafes are quite good around the Springwood to Runcorn way. Which is the border between Logan and Brisbane. There's some really nice bakeries, Turkish and Greek places, Market Square is open till close to midnight and there's lots of tea/boba places there too. There's also some really nice parks in Holland Park- Mt Gravatt and Calamvale way. For those looking for late cafe and food options, Logan and South Brisbane suburbs are the place to go, generally only 30 minutes away even by train for those living in the city.
@BrisbaneChannel

Those places are in my part of town. The places in Market Square don't seem to open as late as they used to since Covid, though. But when it comes to diversity of food, I'm in complete agreement that the southside is the place to be. It's just so much more multicultural than the northside overall.

I moved to Brisbane in 2002, back then there was no shops open on Sunday (there was a law preventing it) and only a few shops opened on Saturday morning (everything closed for the week midday Saturday) so that's improved a lot. Adam I'm with you on DLS, everyone else if you like DLS so much say in Sydney or Melbourne. It's got nothing to do with curtains fading or cows or any of those silly fallacies, it's all to do with the tilt of the earth and the fact we are closer to the equator so we don't get the longer daylight hours to justify DLS.

Very lame argument I would suggest..haha Well why do northern hemisphere countries have DLS? Its is all about lifestyle, and the fact is that most ueensland people want daylight saving. The Queensland climate and daylight is the perfect candidate for it. And Queensland crime rates, at least pre covid. were above other states that have daylight saving over summer, and have been for years. It is a fact that where there is daylight saving, crime rates for some offences actually drop. But oh no, the media don't want to tell that bit. And it's only a time adjustment on a clock or watch for ppeople to enjoy more outdoors after work.

@@BrisbaneChannel It is well known in police circles in the deveoped world that daylight saving reduces street crime, simply because it gets dark later from a time perspective. Crims don't just sit around waiting until darkness at around 9pm then start doing their thing. They go elsewhere because in the daylight they can be easily seen and identified. And it's mainly petty offenders anyay, however the assault rates drop and it is safer for families out in the streets. not rocket science. And if people do not like daylight saving for the other multitude of reasons that never seem to make sense, then just keep going to bed at the same timesm, with curtains drawn and keep getting up at sunrise, which in Queensland is before 4.30 in the morning. Not to mention Queensland loses millions of dollars a year by not having DLS like NSW Vic and Tasmania. If you are in buisness in Brisbane and want to order something urgently from Sydney or Melbourne at 4pm Retardistan, (Brisbane) time, you can't. Down south is closed and they are off to the beach or to the park with their kids enjoying the outdoors, winding down after a hard days work, not sitting back in the dark putting on weight. ( a bit of satire there)., although Queensland is a very obese place per capita. The issue with Queensland is that the Premier PalaCHUCK actually agrees with DLS but won't bring it in as she sthinks she will lose an election if she does. You can't lose an election if over 63 percent of people want it. The other states just brought it in decades ago, and ignored the whingers carrying on about it, which was a minority, and they just got on with life. Jesus, Queensland needs to get some balls and do as the majority wants. It hurts nobody. If the UK can do it right surely Queensland can.

Body corp fees vary wildly. When we were looking for our place, some places wanted to charge over $1000 a quarter, but we pay less than that for the full year where we ended up buying. Generally units or studios in a large complex will have higher body corp fees, especially if they have facilities like pools etc, but there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern based on the variation we noticed when house hunting. I'd just advise you to ask up front before you even bother looking at a place.

Queensland Rail time schedule is optional except for “on” time. 5 or 10 mins early or late or never, are a QR speciality. You live on the north or south of the river, you MUST pick a side and you shall never live on the opposite side. Failure to abide by this rule shall see you charged with treason.

I've heard lots of people mentioning that Queensland Rail can be late, but I've been living here for 10 years and have only ever been on 4 late trains (that are late enough to actually make a difference) and they were all caused by major events (like signalling issues or broken trains. The amount of times there have been issues like failed trains and my service on the same line hasn't been effected, it's actually quite impressive.

Its also awful if you live on the south side and catch public trans port its either the east or west because if you want to get to ippy or or loganholme you have to travel all the way to the cbd and then out again its god awful. And good lucky getting to anywhere in the middle of ippy and loganholme.

@@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 I use the trains sporadically and I do not remember a single time when a train was late. Agree with below comment about trains not reaching much of Brisbane. And sometimes having to go into the city and back out to get to some places, eg Wynnum to Sunnybank.

Cheers! I assume you mean the bus station bit? Actually pretty simple. Just filmed as normal, then stopped and did a timelapse with the same composition and combined the two using the line of the wall behind me as the part where I masked out the half that overlapped. That was kinda cheating, as what would have looked better is if I was actually in front of the buses and masked around myself - but that would have taken hours and hours to do well, and wouldn't have been worth the effort.

Lived in Brisbane most of my life. The public transport in Brisbane isn't the best. The people are pretty chilled and lots of great restaurants. Our storms are certainly becoming more severe but I think our shopping precinct in the mall is pretty good compared to Sydney. Once our new casino opens, our city will come alive in 2023. Brisbane's winters are awesome. February is muggy but some love that.

Agree with all of that except the storm bit. Sth east QLD haven’t had the storms like we had the 80s since, well the 80’s. 4pm every arvo in summer, a cracking storm would smash Brisbane, goody and the sunny and be gone an hr later, leaving a trail of damage. And the tropic storms that used to hit Mackay and nth in the 60’s are all again in the past. Sure they do more financial damage these days, people didn’t live in flood plains in the past etc, 3-5-10 times the population explains the higher death toll. But as to ferocity of today’s storms, they are not even close.

@@shaneparfitt77 I've been a weather watcher and you're right about Brisbane storms. The vicious storms of the 70s and 80s were results of cold fronts moving through. Nowadays storms seem to be low pressure troughs. Could be a phase thing or cimate change, dunno. Also this year is the first time we've had a ground storm in the middle of winter that i can remember.

@BrisbaneChannel
@BrisbaneChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it absolutely is! Especially now that rental prices have started to soar! But yes, that's usually the way we try to keep living costs down, particularly when we've just moved out of home or arrived in the city. As for prices, that's something I'd have to look into, but you could try looking at the website flatmatefinders.com.au to get a feel for prices and what's out there.

Brisbane has very hot and humid summer and it's quite cold in the winter. It might not be going down below 0 celcius. But maybe it's from 0 to 10 in the winter. You guys can't bear the winter wearing only a shirt. BUT Brisbane's weather is very nice and sunny comparing with other cities.

Most things you said I can agree on, except public transport and daylight savings. The public transport system is nothing to Sydney and Melbourne. Sometimes you have to wait an hour between trains and the last train on Saturday to the North Side is 10:30pm. Daylight savings wouid be incredibly amazing for the hospitality industry. Isn't Queensland called the Sunshine State?
@BrisbaneChannel
@BrisbaneChannel 2 жыл бұрын
Sunshine state, yes, and partly because a large part of it is tropical or sub-tropical, meaning that there's much less variation in daylight hours from summer to winter. But I never said not having daylight savings was a plus, just that some will like that it doesn't have it, while others will not. Personally, it's one of the things I'm happy to have left behind moving here! The public transport is something I have to make a video about specifically, as it CAN be great, and it CAN suck, all depending on where you live and need to travel to (and when). I was perhaps a little generous saying it's good in this video. I know I suffered more not having a car when I lived in Sydney than I did before I had a car here, but that's not a reflection of which is better, just that my travel needs here and there were probably different. I haven't experienced AMAZING public transport in any Aussie city, this really is a country where not having a car is a major disadvantage, no matter where you live!
