The real problem is that in it's history, developers would pay off the Brisbane city council and then design the suburbs and street names whichever way they fancied. Morningside has streets named after poets and Strathpine after composers. Even with the lack of town planning (hitting every red traffic light); I enjoy my life here. I can fish without a license, ride a motorbike year round, and pinch mangos, bananas and avocados from the neighbour's trees.
I know in shire formally known as Pine Rivers, there was a council law that stipulated that new roads had to be named after historical names and events, etc. But you are dead right, developers and NIMBYs have alot to answer for the ducking up of the transport infrastructure in Brisbane. The population was accurately predicted, and good designs like ringroads were proposed, but eventually all got shat on.
Obviously the street names are old, but I question 2 streets in Kalangur that run next to each other, left side of Anzac AVE northbound...

Amusing diatribe. I must agree about Brisbane's low population density and poor public transport infrastructure. Despite Brisbane's faults it's still a nice place to live. I think some people may have taken this video too seriously.The humidity in Brisbane was far too high for me, hence my move south to cooler climes.
I went to Brisbane in December, and I had a wonderful time. The River cat and the kittycats are fabulous. That's the way to get around. The botanic gardens are beautiful. QPAC is splendid. I adored the Wheel of Brisbane. There are scooters you can hire to get about. A segway tour is also lots of fun. The beach is hours away, but they have a man-made beach which is fine in a pinch. Loved it. 10/10 would recommend. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg to stay there, either! Also, there are a number of truly wonderful places to eat in Fortitude Valley, but bring your credit card!
@@russellclay9506As a brit I don't think that would necessarily be a bad judgement call. Considering most people's geography is subpar anyways there's enough there to keep people distracted and learn less. Plus it's mountains better than Brum. Which is a real cesspit.
Visit western Sydney. The Australia you know and love is gone. I have 0 fish & chip shops in my suburb, 10 years ago there were 3. I think people in Brisbane live like people in the northern beaches of NSW, they have their head in the sand. They have no idea how the Australian culture is fading away. There's suburbs in western Sydney that have no English on their shopping signs. I barely ever see any football jerseys where I live, NFL, AFL, nothing. The Australia I knew and grew up in 20 years, is long gone. People who don't think that's true, are delusional.
@@chris-xl3qxI am very proud of how Toowoomba has so successfully integrated the Sudanese refugees into the community and what delghtful members of the community the majority of them are. Sure there are occasional problems but you find that in every section and strata of the population. The fact that Toowoomba's approach to support is being studied and copied says a lot. Also, given the Sudanese make up less than .015% of the total Toowoomba population as at 2020, I think calling it Sth Sudan is a bit of a stretch.
Three things I love about Brisbane: there are great dog-friendly walking areas all over the place. The city cats, the fairly safe CBD as compared to a lot of other cities.
Brisbane does make you go nuts. Don't know why 😅 Lack of stimulation and community spirit is probably why.. not many community hubs or cool museums or fun things to do 😢
I call 1 William street the thick boy (also known as the tower of power) King George Square the “burning hot plate” or the “concrete slab” and I call uptown, downhill (or most of the time, like everyone else, the Myer Centre) And I like to call Parliament , the circus.
If any thing in this State demonstrates the contempt of the ruling elite to a properly functioning Parliament - the approval of an Executive Government Building to cast a shadow over the Historic precinct of Parliament House is it. Our elected dictatorship in a one house parliament ensures skills of communication, negotiation and compromise are something foreign to Queensland. So too is recognising the difference between being ruled by MPs who only represent their wealthy donors and tell their electorate what they should think and say, aided by the one paper town Courier Mail eg look a functioning democracy viz representation who's MPs are their employees pursuing their electorates interests first
Myer has pulled out of the Myer Centre, such is the state of the bricks-and-mortar retail trade. It's a shoddily-constructed building from the furious 1980s property boom and stores in its upper levels have always struggled. For stunning retail arcades, check out the historic Strand further down Queen St and Rowes off Edward St.
@@VanillaMacaron551 In my opinion, Myer has no future in the CBD. They announced they were going to search for a new CBD location but given the current Market in SEQ, if I were them I would stick to the big Suburban Westfields.
@@VanillaMacaron551 also the layout is crap and confusing even for a regular visitor like me (I have some funny stores of somehow getting lost in that place)
Once the Olympics are underway in the next 8 years, I'm sure a lot of people overseas would be remarking on how weird our city skyline looks. Ever since Meriton built those two huge things on either end of it a decade ago, it's looked quite inconsistent, a bit like a bar chart measuring how many people called Gertrude there are in every major city in the world alphabetically or something. I saw the Melbourne skyline from a distance a few years ago and to me it looked fine.
JCU is based in Townsville, 1000km north of Brisbane. Did you attend some satellite campus in Brisbane? A small city centre would be a fair accusation of Townsville, less so Brisbane!
This bloke really loves Brisbane. I mean there's negatives about everywhere but Brizvegas is central to Gold coast,Sunshine coast,Stradbroke,etc.Nice climate,relaxed atmosphere.
The biggest thing I hate about Brisbane is just the cars man. Roads take up so much space and are unpleasant as hell. It also drives so much funding away from public transport and walkable paths, and makes the immediate areas around then unlivable. Our traffic is so bad because for most people public transport or walking just isn't viable or as viable, and it makes our streets look like actual shit. If we just weren't car centric, Brisbane would easily be the best city in Australia. I do not mind a cars on the road, what I do mind is the obsessive spamming of 6 lane roads everywhere with cars absolutely flooding them. Or streets that you do not even have side walks.
Ok it is your hometown. You have developed contempt for the place. I would rather Brisbane than Sydney or Melbourne. I would rather Brisbane than overseas.
As a blow in from the Northern Latitudes, I love Brisbane unabashedly and unironically. Yeah, it has its problems, but so does every place. Thanks for the love letter.
I was at Southbank on the weekend. What I really noticed is the car noise from the riverside expressway! Southbank would be so pleasant if it wasn’t for a freeway through the middle of the city.
I went to Brisbane last year (from New Zealand). The helpful locals started listing all the 'shit' suburbs I shouldn't visit because of all the drug addicts and crime. It was a long list 😂
I lived on Ipswich road and can confirm peak hour traffic is all day, all night and everyday of the week. The upside is the traffic and constant ambulance sirens helped to block out the endless amount of crack heads constantly fighting or chasing each other up and down the street
I did that and I had a guy jump in my back yard then 2 minutes later the police jumped in my back yard. Unlike Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane put their housing commission in every suburb. Oh, and if you think your house won't flood, it's not a matter of if it's when. 200ml of rain in 3 hours will come
Yeh like a little pocket where you can get everything you need without ever having to cross Sandgate Rd to the east or Gympie Rd to the west. It was great before Toombul shopping centre was destroyed by flood - it was easy to access by foot and bike, crossing under Sandgate Rd.
I miss old Brisbane city and the old town square with the fountains. Brisbane was beautiful, that stopped when the alp goons in state and local government sold the town to their construction friends. After that, the city turned into a slab of brutalist absurdity that would make any Soviet official proud.
The big brutalist monoliths that are QPAC and the Qld Art Gallery at South Bank were built in the Joh / LNP era, you dummy. Also, the council has been LNP dominated for a very long time, most of the past four decades at least. ALP may be friends with construction unions, but there isn't a Brisbane resident alive who isn't aware that the local Lib-Nats ARE the local developers and building industry. You are talking pure partisan mistruths.
I loved Brisbane best in the early 90's, it just got a makeover after Expo'88 and was fresh and exciting. One great thing are the many lookouts, if you know where to find them.
I’m from sunshine coast, only time I go too Brisbane is for queen street/ fortitude/ and the museum. Apart from that too much stress going there every weekend
Wait until you hear about the global trends of pedestrianisation, urbanism and the "15 minute" lifestyle. Then wait until you hear how areas following these principles are highly desirable and increasingly valuable, and how Americans and others who have only ever known a car-based lifestyle often choose to holiday in these cities so they can experience a walkable lifestyle, around streets where cars are either banned or strictly limited. Check out what's happened in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities in the past 30 years, and the work currently under way in Paris to eliminate cars from certain areas. Even some parts of the US are tearing down freeways and replacing them with plazas, open malls and gardens. It will be a good thing if one day they block Edward St to private vehicles completely and turn it into an upmarket pedestrian-only mall right down to the Botanic Gardens, and do the same to a bunch of other streets in that quarter near the gardens.
@@VanillaMacaron551 There was a fair bit of kerfuffle when Queen St Mall was opened. People complaining you could not longer drive all the way down Queen St.
Fortitude valley! Having bulk music venues in one area is cool.. plus I like the houses on stilts 🤷♂️ I’m from Perth, only been to brissy to play gigs and always had a good time.. this vid is however, is bloody great 👌 ✅ 😂
Sydney's the same. In recent years it's been getting better very slowly with investment in public transport infrastructure like the light rail and the metro but there's nothing to do here other than play pokies
That's because the government killed the night life that Sydney was once famous for. Mind you, Brisbane's Fortitude Valley (somewhat equivalent to the old Kings Cross) is still alive and kicking. But that looks like it's on it's death knell from all the noise complaints from the NIMBYs that moved into the surrounding new apartments.
Oath mate! My one complaint is the Town Hall Square. It used to be a beautiful green lawned oasis with a few shady trees where office workers could eat their lunch. They concreted & paved it over. Now it's a f...ing furnace under the hot summer sun.
Nailed it, it's become a traffic packed shit storm. Public transport is BS and decent food doesn't exist or if it does, you skip the week's mortgage to pay for it. Don't get me started about the feral factor either, wholly shit, Brisbogan it should be called.
I'm from Sydney and I'm an It Project Manager and I've been up to Brissy for work a bit, mostly at the Casino doing the surveillance system and doing a ticketing system thing for Queensland Rail. I like the people, pretty relaxed, mostly just like you, but yeah, pretty boring. I stayed at Southbank once and they could've filmed a post-apocalypse movie there, it was fucking DEAD, no one around at night. The traffic's a fucking nightmare, especially trying to get to the airport, you need to jump in a cab at 3pm because you'll never make it after work.
Southbank apartments are filled with rich Asian uni students... or are empty because they are owned by rich Asian speculative property investors... of course the nightlife will be dead.
Not necessarily true sir. You need to use the tunnel, then even in very heavy traffic it shouldn't take more than 30mins. Brisbane gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Also, one of best parts of Brisbane is proximity to the beautiful Gold Coast. With the new casino, we'll really be Brisvegas.

I agree, I love the Kurilpa bridge design. And the city, to visit at least, no way I want to live there though, too old for that hassle. Happy to settle in the sticks halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast so I can sample both occasionally.
What the hell are you going on about?? Brisbane is one of the most livable cities in the world! Anyone will tell you that during the Covid crisis, if you were living in Brisbane, it was the place to be. If you've lived in Sydney or Melbourne you will find Brisbane traffic a breeze!

The shittest bridge in Bridgbane is going to be Go-Between and second Gateway until they're put back into public ownership
For me, Kurilpa Bridge and then the new pedestrian bridge in front of the casino.
Topped off by a beautiful brown river!
Brown river 🤮🤮. You can’t swim 🏊 due to bull sharks and ugly critters jellyfish etc
It's gotten better. It's kinda blue now and brownish blue
@@nicholascharles9625 Brownish blue with green and yellow. A sight to behold mate 🙂
@@rrocketmanWell it was a lot browner before they stopped dredging. I like the new, low-silt look better meself.
Amusing diatribe. I must agree about Brisbane's low population density and poor public transport infrastructure. Despite Brisbane's faults it's still a nice place to live. I think some people may have taken this video too seriously.The humidity in Brisbane was far too high for me, hence my move south to cooler climes.
You missed one Kurilpa bridge fact that is totally on theme. The design was inspired by stamped out ciggys in an ashtray. I love it too! Top vid!
God I hope that's true
@@DONG-TOTO it was in an interview with the designer with a local paper. I'll see if i can find it
I thought the design was inspired by a fishing trawler washed ashore after a cyclone.
@@timhinchcliffe5372 I always thought the design was ship mast inspired also. Relooked at photos and can't really see cigs at all😂
That's like Seattle's Space Needle - locals say it's a warning sign that lots of junkies live nearby. 🤣🤣
I went to Brisbane in December, and I had a wonderful time. The River cat and the kittycats are fabulous. That's the way to get around. The botanic gardens are beautiful. QPAC is splendid. I adored the Wheel of Brisbane. There are scooters you can hire to get about. A segway tour is also lots of fun. The beach is hours away, but they have a man-made beach which is fine in a pinch. Loved it. 10/10 would recommend. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg to stay there, either! Also, there are a number of truly wonderful places to eat in Fortitude Valley, but bring your credit card!
Damn, a sane person posting a sensible comment.
Soooo, you stayed in the CBD? Brisbane is huge. Its like you went to Britain and only saw London and thought it was great!
@@russellclay9506 yep, and of course, there's still South East Queensland to explore.
@@russellclay9506As a brit I don't think that would necessarily be a bad judgement call. Considering most people's geography is subpar anyways there's enough there to keep people distracted and learn less. Plus it's mountains better than Brum. Which is a real cesspit.
Visit western Sydney. The Australia you know and love is gone. I have 0 fish & chip shops in my suburb, 10 years ago there were 3. I think people in Brisbane live like people in the northern beaches of NSW, they have their head in the sand. They have no idea how the Australian culture is fading away. There's suburbs in western Sydney that have no English on their shopping signs. I barely ever see any football jerseys where I live, NFL, AFL, nothing. The Australia I knew and grew up in 20 years, is long gone. People who don't think that's true, are delusional.
Brisbane city parking prices is insane
Please do Toowoomba next hahha
@user-lw2ck1dr3y Toowoomba is definitely not better than where I live or as I like to call Toowoomba South Sudan.
@user-lw2ck1dr3y spot on I'm so fortunate I don't live in Toowoomba or Brisbane
@user-lw2ck1dr3yToowoomba is a nice place it's the residents that suck
@@chris-xl3qxI am very proud of how Toowoomba has so successfully integrated the Sudanese refugees into the community and what delghtful members of the community the majority of them are. Sure there are occasional problems but you find that in every section and strata of the population. The fact that Toowoomba's approach to support is being studied and copied says a lot. Also, given the Sudanese make up less than .015% of the total Toowoomba population as at 2020, I think calling it Sth Sudan is a bit of a stretch.
@user-lw2ck1dr3y or crusty white crackercrackhead town- fking racist idiot
Your busiest rush hour is like a Sunday morning in Manila where everyone stays home. You have no idea what traffic is.
Manila makes 2 lane roads and calls them a "highway"
The only thing I like about Brisbane being a disgusting Gold Coaster is the rock n roll bars
True, Gold Coast bars are soulless, and just play _whatever-new_ music in the pathetic attempt to get a crumb of tourist money.
Three things I love about Brisbane: there are great dog-friendly walking areas all over the place. The city cats, the fairly safe CBD as compared to a lot of other cities.
Music a bit too loud to hear what you are saying
Brisbane does make you go nuts. Don't know why 😅 Lack of stimulation and community spirit is probably why.. not many community hubs or cool museums or fun things to do 😢
I call 1 William street the thick boy (also known as the tower of power) King George Square the “burning hot plate” or the “concrete slab” and I call uptown, downhill (or most of the time, like everyone else, the Myer Centre) And I like to call Parliament , the circus.
I've also heard it called Campbell's Cock. Lucky Newman
If any thing in this State demonstrates the contempt of the ruling elite to a properly functioning Parliament - the approval of an Executive Government Building to cast a shadow over the Historic precinct of Parliament House is it.
Our elected dictatorship in a one house parliament ensures skills of communication, negotiation and compromise are something foreign to Queensland. So too is recognising the difference between being ruled by MPs who only represent their wealthy donors and tell their electorate what they should think and say, aided by the one paper town Courier Mail eg look a functioning democracy viz representation who's MPs are their employees pursuing their electorates interests first
Myer has pulled out of the Myer Centre, such is the state of the bricks-and-mortar retail trade. It's a shoddily-constructed building from the furious 1980s property boom and stores in its upper levels have always struggled. For stunning retail arcades, check out the historic Strand further down Queen St and Rowes off Edward St.
@@VanillaMacaron551 In my opinion, Myer has no future in the CBD. They announced they were going to search for a new CBD location but given the current Market in SEQ, if I were them I would stick to the big Suburban Westfields.
@@VanillaMacaron551 also the layout is crap and confusing even for a regular visitor like me (I have some funny stores of somehow getting lost in that place)
Brilliant as usual. I run these videos at 0.75 speed because it makes them seem even more sardonic 👍
yeah slow down dong toto, u talk to fast
I love river walks, southbank, bridge walks. Love winter in Brisbane.
5:08 wait that thing has an actual name?? Everyone I’ve ever talked to just calls it the stick bridge
The weather? I moved away because it's so hot and humid year round.
I agree. Except I didn't leave, I just endure it.
10 months of HUMIDITY!! June and July relief low relatively humidity
@@zed5129I'm pink/sunburn 9 months of the year
The humidity still kills me
Modern aircon is cheap to run and costs nothing at all to run during the day if you have rooftop solar panels. Perfect synchronicity.
Once the Olympics are underway in the next 8 years, I'm sure a lot of people overseas would be remarking on how weird our city skyline looks. Ever since Meriton built those two huge things on either end of it a decade ago, it's looked quite inconsistent, a bit like a bar chart measuring how many people called Gertrude there are in every major city in the world alphabetically or something. I saw the Melbourne skyline from a distance a few years ago and to me it looked fine.
Gold.
I am from Azerbaijan and I did my first master's degree at James Cook University, Brisbane. It is a nice city. But just city center is a bit small.
JCU is based in Townsville, 1000km north of Brisbane. Did you attend some satellite campus in Brisbane? A small city centre would be a fair accusation of Townsville, less so Brisbane!
@@VanillaMacaron551 Yeah. It is just one building in the Queen street.
The Kurilpa bridge WILL look good once all the scaffolding comes down.
This bloke really loves Brisbane. I mean there's negatives about everywhere but Brizvegas is central to Gold coast,Sunshine coast,Stradbroke,etc.Nice climate,relaxed atmosphere.
I think we'd like to be further from the Gold Coast. If Queensland is Australia's Florida, the Gold Coast is Brisbane's 😂😂
So it's close to everywhere you want to be instead, lol. That makes sense.
I also love that bridge. To me it looks like a ship graveyard where all the masts are sticking up above the water.
The biggest thing I hate about Brisbane is just the cars man. Roads take up so much space and are unpleasant as hell. It also drives so much funding away from public transport and walkable paths, and makes the immediate areas around then unlivable. Our traffic is so bad because for most people public transport or walking just isn't viable or as viable, and it makes our streets look like actual shit. If we just weren't car centric, Brisbane would easily be the best city in Australia.
I do not mind a cars on the road, what I do mind is the obsessive spamming of 6 lane roads everywhere with cars absolutely flooding them. Or streets that you do not even have side walks.
Just bcse you don’t need one. Obviously you’re on welfare
Ok it is your hometown. You have developed contempt for the place.
I would rather Brisbane than Sydney or Melbourne.
I would rather Brisbane than overseas.
As a blow in from the Northern Latitudes, I love Brisbane unabashedly and unironically. Yeah, it has its problems, but so does every place. Thanks for the love letter.
I was at Southbank on the weekend. What I really noticed is the car noise from the riverside expressway! Southbank would be so pleasant if it wasn’t for a freeway through the middle of the city.
As a local,
It's absolutely true what is been said in these videos,
It's a shame really,
I went to Brisbane last year (from New Zealand). The helpful locals started listing all the 'shit' suburbs I shouldn't visit because of all the drug addicts and crime. It was a long list 😂
Agree with everything, tho West End is now mainly just the centrepoint of various halfway houses 😅
Yeah, its a bit of a dodgy area. Didnt understand why its rated so highly?
West end has been like that since the beginning of time
@@fair98fair dodgy for people who dont live here, I ve lived ere for 9 years and is awesomely the best neighbourhood in australia so far
Going down to brizzy is like fun .
Can’t say it’s much fun .
Come to think of it , no it’s not fun.
You might be monumentally unadventurous.
Holy sh*t this is accurate and thanks for actually being honest too.
Honest about traffic....hooray, the rest trivial or bullshit.
I lived in Brisbane for 2 years. Coming from Wellington, NZ, the public transport kicks ass. I loved it and would move back in a heartbeat
Brisbane was ok back in the 80's and then it turned slowly into a shithole.
When Joh was in charge? Everyone I know was harassed by the police. Fun times
@elizabethclark8552 yes there was plenty of corruption in the police force too including Joh
I lived on Ipswich road and can confirm peak hour traffic is all day, all night and everyday of the week. The upside is the traffic and constant ambulance sirens helped to block out the endless amount of crack heads constantly fighting or chasing each other up and down the street
Rhe secret to Brisbane living is find a nice bit with all u need and work and live nearby.
I did that and I had a guy jump in my back yard then 2 minutes later the police jumped in my back yard. Unlike Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane put their housing commission in every suburb. Oh, and if you think your house won't flood, it's not a matter of if it's when. 200ml of rain in 3 hours will come
@elizabethclark8552 ha ha yeah done that. Still best city in Australia.
Yeh like a little pocket where you can get everything you need without ever having to cross Sandgate Rd to the east or Gympie Rd to the west. It was great before Toombul shopping centre was destroyed by flood - it was easy to access by foot and bike, crossing under Sandgate Rd.
@VanillaMacaron551 lol exactly.
😂😂😂, lived in Brisbane for 43yrs. Absolutely loved this vid mate👍. Well said.
I miss old Brisbane city and the old town square with the fountains. Brisbane was beautiful, that stopped when the alp goons in state and local government sold the town to their construction friends. After that, the city turned into a slab of brutalist absurdity that would make any Soviet official proud.
Conveniently forgetting Ol' Joh's warm relationship with the Deen Bros and decimation of historic, lovely buildings...
The big brutalist monoliths that are QPAC and the Qld Art Gallery at South Bank were built in the Joh / LNP era, you dummy. Also, the council has been LNP dominated for a very long time, most of the past four decades at least.
ALP may be friends with construction unions, but there isn't a Brisbane resident alive who isn't aware that the local Lib-Nats ARE the local developers and building industry.
You are talking pure partisan mistruths.
Started with Joh - every dirty concrete slab of shit is thanks to Joh and his goons
Brisbane is garbage - but it's OUR garbage. That's why the ibis is our spirit animal.
You hate a classic looking bridge, but love the one that looks like a fishing trawler. 👍
I loved Brisbane best in the early 90's, it just got a makeover after Expo'88 and was fresh and exciting. One great thing are the many lookouts, if you know where to find them.
Eildon Hill water reservoir at Windsor is among the best.
please do redcliffe
I’m from sunshine coast, only time I go too Brisbane is for queen street/ fortitude/ and the museum. Apart from that too much stress going there every weekend
I love the fact that they just delete a lane on the main road (Edward st) to allow a bike lane instead that no one uses... Ever..
Wait until you hear about the global trends of pedestrianisation, urbanism and the "15 minute" lifestyle. Then wait until you hear how areas following these principles are highly desirable and increasingly valuable, and how Americans and others who have only ever known a car-based lifestyle often choose to holiday in these cities so they can experience a walkable lifestyle, around streets where cars are either banned or strictly limited. Check out what's happened in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities in the past 30 years, and the work currently under way in Paris to eliminate cars from certain areas. Even some parts of the US are tearing down freeways and replacing them with plazas, open malls and gardens.
It will be a good thing if one day they block Edward St to private vehicles completely and turn it into an upmarket pedestrian-only mall right down to the Botanic Gardens, and do the same to a bunch of other streets in that quarter near the gardens.
@@VanillaMacaron551 There was a fair bit of kerfuffle when Queen St Mall was opened. People complaining you could not longer drive all the way down Queen St.
I'm from Sydney and my Family wants to move to Pullenvale in Brisbane, anyone now what it's like there?
Very nice actually. Of course very boring too but it's the suburbs
@@masterp.o Cool! Do you know what the travel experience is like to the CBD considering it's boring?
Boring AF but kinda pretty. A mix between rural and suburban living. The closest Sydney equivalent is probably Dural.

Fortitude valley! Having bulk music venues in one area is cool.. plus I like the houses on stilts 🤷♂️ I’m from Perth, only been to brissy to play gigs and always had a good time.. this vid is however, is bloody great 👌 ✅ 😂
100k subscriber special will be "don't go to Australia"
yeah, go to some shit hole like the USA instead.
No way I LOVE the grey st bridge! Those arches on top are the best.
Sydney's the same. In recent years it's been getting better very slowly with investment in public transport infrastructure like the light rail and the metro but there's nothing to do here other than play pokies
That's because the government killed the night life that Sydney was once famous for.
Mind you, Brisbane's Fortitude Valley (somewhat equivalent to the old Kings Cross) is still alive and kicking. But that looks like it's on it's death knell from all the noise complaints from the NIMBYs that moved into the surrounding new apartments.
More unadventurous bullshit.
Oath mate! My one complaint is the Town Hall Square. It used to be a beautiful green lawned oasis with a few shady trees where office workers could eat their lunch. They concreted & paved it over. Now it's a f...ing furnace under the hot summer sun.
Nailed it, it's become a traffic packed shit storm. Public transport is BS and decent food doesn't exist or if it does, you skip the week's mortgage to pay for it.
Don't get me started about the feral factor either, wholly shit, Brisbogan it should be called.
I'm from Sydney and I'm an It Project Manager and I've been up to Brissy for work a bit, mostly at the Casino doing the surveillance system and doing a ticketing system thing for Queensland Rail. I like the people, pretty relaxed, mostly just like you, but yeah, pretty boring. I stayed at Southbank once and they could've filmed a post-apocalypse movie there, it was fucking DEAD, no one around at night. The traffic's a fucking nightmare, especially trying to get to the airport, you need to jump in a cab at 3pm because you'll never make it after work.
Southbank apartments are filled with rich Asian uni students... or are empty because they are owned by rich Asian speculative property investors... of course the nightlife will be dead.
Not necessarily true sir.
You need to use the tunnel, then even in very heavy traffic it shouldn't take more than 30mins.
Brisbane gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights.
Also, one of best parts of Brisbane is proximity to the beautiful Gold Coast.
With the new casino, we'll really be Brisvegas.
@@TheKwodBearing in mind the first casino is why we started getting called BrisVegas in the first place
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 At least the first one is in a gob-smackingly ornate and beautiful historic sandstone building that hopefully will one day be reclaimed for a sensible and respectful purpose.
@@VanillaMacaron551 Ikr? My grandfather worked there when it was the actual Treasury building. We once took him to see what they'd done with the place.
Once. 😭
That was fun!😃 I have visited Brisbane 3 times,well the outskirts and surrounds. I have never been a city person, so the little I saw of Brisbane itself was just hard to navigate strange roads and a lot of bridges.
Well you can pretty well always see the sun, so if you know how to work out the compass points, just navigate yourself that way.

Brisbane has 2 things i truly miss being in Melbourne.
Goldcoast cycling day trips and Sunday farmer's market @ Northey Street Organic Farm
Alot of people wont probably agree but i miss some of the old graffiti from the 90's that stayed for years only to be covered when they did a massive crackdown cleanup. Especially the huge BLAST memorial peice that was ontop of a building and you could see it when you caught the train past soith brisbane station.
The best thing about Brisbane- is leaving.
The weather is one of the reasons why i hate it. Absolutely oppressively hot.
The roads make me panic.
May need to rethink visiting anything north of Bne latitude across the country.
@@le13579 I live on the Sunshine Coast. I grew up in Mackay, but now I have had an outdoor job for the last 8 years I've learnt to absolutely hate the heat haha.
Also the Brisbane gets hotter in summer compared to the tropics because of the urban heat island effect.
I agree, I love the Kurilpa bridge design. And the city, to visit at least, no way I want to live there though, too old for that hassle. Happy to settle in the sticks halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast so I can sample both occasionally.
The best part of Brisbane is the airport. It allows you to get away as quick as possible
As someone who also lived most of my life in Brisbane .. this was a bloody good LAUGH!
What the hell are you going on about?? Brisbane is one of the most livable cities in the world! Anyone will tell you that during the Covid crisis, if you were living in Brisbane, it was the place to be. If you've lived in Sydney or Melbourne you will find Brisbane traffic a breeze! You can typically get anywhere in half an hour. Apart from peak times. I've always said, the only 2 downsides to Brisbane is the heat and the bogans. That's it!

My Daughter is an artist and I spent her Uni years encouraging her to move to Melbourne - she moved there 5 years ago and is so happy 🎉 Brisbane is not the place for arty creative people at all.
There isn't enough establishment/old money to finance the artists. Shows what a tremendous job Qld Ballet has done in the face of that.
@@le13579 There's heaps of Establishment / old money in Brisbane, heaps of artists and heaps of galleries. QUT has built much of its rep on the "Creative Industries"; there's a thriving animation / video game industry and supporting higher education. There's a thriving movie production industry on the GC. Qld Theatre Co is brilliant and there are other big local theatre companies. GOMA has attracted some global blockbuster shows. Methinks you talk bollocks.
Well, stay in Melbourne. The last thing Queensland needs, is more soft headed emigrants from Victoria.
We're overloaded with them, as it is. 🖕
Actually not true. The design conferences have been held in Bris because the interest is higher than other capitals

Look into the dark history of Brisbane’s ‘Boundary Streets’.

Brisbane is slowly also getting _culturally enriched_ by people from 3rd World countries we in the West so desperately want to emulate.
@timhinchcliffe5372 I do think eventually self defense laws will revert to household rights to bear arms due to recent youth crime invasions. When one push its upstanding citizens too far, they are asking for reprisals.
