Brisbane is nice my sister is living there
We love it too Manoj! Thanks for watching!
"I hail from Melbourne and haven't visited Brisbane yet. I trust that this UA-cam video will be immensely helpful as it provides a thorough and detailed explanation. Many thanks for taking the time to upload this valuable content!"
Thank you so much :)
October till April is most of the year sunshine :) nice to know, we are melting here at 30 degrees
Your videos are excellent and fun to listen to. Thanks for posting again. Keep it up.
Nice finding your channel. New to brissie and I share my experience in Brisbane too... it's such a beautiful city and the clear blue sky is a win. Love the ferry services...
I'm so glad you love Brisbane too! You're right, those blue skies are amazing. Even on the coldest winter days we can have those brilliant blue skies... it's a gorgeous place to live.
Brilliant!! We will be there the end of August. What a wonderful introduction to your city.
Thank you so much 😊 hope you have a wonderful visit
One of our must-visit destination with my family from BKK Thailand right after the pandemic.
That sounds like a fantastic idea!! Happy New Year - Phoebe x
Great tips ! Excellent work
Thanks so much Derek! Stay safe!
I'd love to be quarantined in Brisbane rather than experiencing this lockdown in Eindhoven! Brisbane is a great city, especially outside the CBD. I liked South Bank a lot with all the perfect parks and the public swimming pool. Australian English by the way sounds much better than American English! The slang is great and makes it feel like you're friends with anybody. For example the police passed by and said "hey buddy" to me, and the tour guide approached people with hey mate or g'day folks. This way Australians talk to people makes you feel home immediately. Kudos to the Australian culture and slang. I did experience the heat, but coming from a cold European December, the sun was very much welcome. I didn't mind the one time I got sunburnt. Luckily I didn't experience any sunstrokes. I haven't experienced any storms either during my month in Australia, guess I was lucky! Next time I'm going to Australia I'll hope it's gonna be a one-way ticket to Melbourne. Otherwise I'll start in Brisbane and will probably end up in Cairns for some Great Barrier Reef diving. Previous time I've travelled Melbourne-Tasmania-Sydney-GoldCoast-Brisbane-Perth. Currently I'm busy with my IELTS test preparation in order to apply for a visa 189 or 190 (VIC/NSW/QLD). Do you have any tips which will help to get an 8 for the English test or to speed up the processing time? Regarding the food in Brisbane, I saw lots of options in Woolworths which I missed a lot from my trip to Seoul, for example I cooked Bulgogi beef multiple times myself, in the apartment with seaview. There's no need to go to restaurants daily if you can make delicious food yourself and dine with awesome views! If you travel for one month, it cooking yourself is sometimes more relaxed than going out again for dinner and it also saves some money to do awesome tours! Well this is a long comment so I'm gonna bring it to an end. Have a great weekend and make sure you don't get COVID-19! 🤙
hahhaah I love reading your BNE comments, Felix! I love that you appreciate the little things like the 'hey buddy' from the cops haha. I love Aussie slang too! Oh gosh, I have no idea how to help with test. I'm so sorry! Wish I did!! I'm sure you'll ace it :D Hope you're hanging in there okay with the self-isolation, Felix. P x
Little Grey Box So far so good with the self isolation. My thesis has to be done 7th of April and my IELTS test is postponed to June due to the coronavirus. So enough work to do from home! How’s your self isolation going?
Thank your information. Very useful tips in preparing my trip in June next year
Hope you have a wonderful time! Phoebe x
Travelling from Melbourne, this is best video about Brissie!
Oh wow! THANK YOU!
Hey little grey box! I am very happy to discover your channel. I am looking forward to come to Brisbane this year and talk about my experience with you. By the way, enjoyed your video. Good luck!
Thank you so much!! So glad you found our videos and they were helpful. Hope you have a wonderful time when you visit 😊🙌🏻 Phoebe
Woooowww 😍 😍🥰🥰 amazing 😘😘😘
❤️❤️
love the video
Thank you SO much!!! Be safe - Phoebe x
Great effort, I wish you all the best and safety
❤️
Hi Phoebe! I live in Liverpool UK, I'm hoping to move to Brisbane, it looks amazing. Just wanted to say your videos and channel have helped loads. Best of luck in life! And hopefully I'll be a resident soon!
Oh wow!! Thank you so much, Luke :) Hope your plans all come together smoothly and you get to make the move to Queensland. It'll be a big change for you, coming from Liverpool. I have a feeling you'll LOVE it here.
👍👍👍 good tips
Thank you! 🙌🏻❤️
Wow. This was simply fantastic. I love the tips. Everything. The Aussie slang was funny to me as a westerner. And I noticed the Canada book on the table to your left. :)
How's it going is very common here America and Canada. However, to hear "how's it gone" will throw us for a loop as that's not what we say here. And I won't even common on "thong". :)
This was really helpful! Answered my tipping question. I did some research that some places add gratuity to the bill automatically. Saw a post on it from last year. I will for sure bring lots of sunscreen so I don't burn. I am a little scared of going in the water. I heard some areas have the nets for protection. Will try to plan it accordingly so I don't burn.
Sounds like your trip is shaping up nicely!
If you plan to come. Make Brisbane your central hub. Stay at least 4 days. Beautiful beaches south and north. Amazing rainforest 30 min drive from the city. Mt Glorious. To the west is stunning Moreton Bay. Brisbane is Australia's most under rated city. In Brisbane try Roma Street Gardens. Mt Cootha lookout and Botanical gardens. City botanical gardens. Cultural Centre has Museums galore. South bank Gardens. Try the suburban centres such as west end, Paddington, new farm and bulimba. Catch a city cat ferry and cruise the river. Eat at Eat Street. Try rock climbing at kangaroo point. Go to lone pine to hug a koala. Explore Toowong Cemetery. Do a ghost tour of Boggo Road Jail. Visit the Commissariat Store museum for a taste of early life. Go visit historic Newstead house. Try the Bulimba Creek walking tracks at Carindale. Vistit the many bushlands around the city including Boondall wetlands. You will be surprised how much there is to do in this city let alone the nightlife and all the normal things.
Many tourists say they wish they had planned to stay longer.
Brissy is the most Australian city in the country. Melbourne is European and Sydney is cosmopolitan. Brisbane is laid back and welcoming. People smile and are happy to chat with strangers. There is very little graffiti as the council clean it off. Brisbane is very clean and modern yet still has Australis most grandest old buildings. Brisbane is more and more embracing it's subtropical climate. Many lovely flowering trees and plants. The river is brown. It's a tidal river so it will never be blue or clear. It is home to 2000 bull sharks. That's why no one swims in it. There are many Eddy's and rips under the surface you can't see. Sunrise and sunsets are stunning. Blue Sky's are common with big puffy white clouds. It's perfect weather in winter June to August. The best time of year is September. Stunning days. Summer can be stiffly hot and humid with spectacular thunderstorms most afternoons.
Most of all the same comment most tourists say is they can't believe how green Brisbane is. Some have said it's a city of forests. It was voted one of the most beautiful cities of the world for it's mix of grand sandstone buildings mixed with gleaming glass skyscrapers and it's gardens and flamboyant color. Enjoy
Thanks for sharing so many tips!
I plan to participate in an exchange study program to Brisbane. I hope everything will go right but either way great video. For me it's a dream to live in a warm country near the beach, playing volleyball, enjoying good weather all the year. Brisbane also seems to be a city with the best size. Not too big and not too small.
That sounds like a great idea!! Brisbane is such a great place to live :) Thanks for watching!
I love volleyball, too!
G'Day. You are doing a wonderful job.
Haha G’day! Thank you 😊
Nice video❤️👍.
Thank you 🤗
It would be nice if you could do a five day itinerary video!!! You do a lot of what to see but realistically how would we planned those trips out over a 3/5 days as an example
I sometimes stay a night in Brisbane when I go out nightclubbing or arrived back from my overseas trip and I've stayed at The Point Hotel in Kangaroo Point. I highly recommend that hotel. It feels more homely, rooms are pretty, love Lamberts Restaurant and a short walk to the Story Bridge. Love your videos.
That’s a great recommendation!! Thank you so much for sharing it - will be useful for others 😍🥰
Little Grey Box likewise
Beautiful videos Brisbane.. 🌏👈👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Mayur! We love Brisbane!
An older vid - that skyline is even more incredible in 2023 - but if you saw this town before Expo 88, left Oz and flew back today - whoa ...... It really WAS a 'big country town' a mere 35 years ago.
So true!
Thanks Phoebe & Matt, great tips 😄 have you got any great family accommodation resort style stays?
Thanks so much Kim! Do you mean family resorts for Brisbane?
great
Thank you :)
Thanks for the Tips mate love your UA-cam videos and I Subscribe to you channel cheers mate!!😊😊
Thank you so so much 😍😍😍
@@travelforphoebe No worries mate😊
Tricked by Drop Bears!
Do you like skyscrapers? Because Brisbane now has some beautiful tall buildings.
I’m a bit of a skyscraper nerd. You are so right! Brissy is growing up! Thanks for watching - Matt
Relax place to go to..1 night at Gold Coast..😁👍🏻
Thanks for watching HL!
Little Grey Box no problem and stay safe..! So late ..😁 Zzzzz
I am from Brisbane. Australia
Really enjoyed this insightful video. Will be landing into Brisbane in March from London. You mentioned the things to be cautious of, just wanted to check as could not find on google, the 'face snakes'? The snakes and spiders we are terrified about. Staying in CDB and asked for a very high floor. Crazy question (sorry!), but can snakes get into apartments, like 20th floor? Thank you for a great video :D
Hahahaha face snakes is a joke my love 😊 Aussies love to play up to tourist fears about our wildlife and face snakes is a fun one we invented about snakes that wait inside bins and launch out at you. The chances of you actually even seeing a snake are incredibly slim and given they can’t use stairs or elevators very well I’d say you’re pretty safe on the 20th floor 😂♥️🙏🏼
Hi. Amazing video thank you! How is the traffic in Brisbane? Were from NZ and hoping to travel to Bisbane around Nov. would you recommend renting a car in going around or is public transport better?
Hello Beautiful Phoebe & Matt.
With extra beautiful & informative video..I to much impress the extra beautiful video shots from Matt behind the Camara...I am a big big fan of ur Channel & Videos....& Special Thanks for ur replies.
Hi! Thank you soooo much, we really appreciate all your love and support :D Hope you're staying safe and well at the moment. Phoebe x
As good as your tips are, I'm a little bit sad that you skipped Brisbane's holy trinity of food, Moorooka, Inala Civic and Sunnybank. Also, if you've never been, check out the polish club restaurant. Quirky, quaint and closed by 8pm, what more could you want?
Thanks so much for watching!! So glad you shared the extra food tips :)
Hi i agree, food is not cheap in Brisbane.
Yeah, it can be expensive to eat out, huh! I'm always blown away by how affordable it is to eat out overseas, especially spots in South-East Asia. Amazing food and so affordable :)
@@travelforphoebe Hi your doing an amazing job about promoting Brisbane, can I suggest some places where you can see kangaroos and koalas in the wild ?
Hi..phoebe..where are u from?it's great video.
Brisbane 😂😍
Hi there
I want to put Korean subtitles on your video. What should I do?
That would be amazing! support.google.com/youtube/answer/6054623?hl=en
Can I upload your video on my UA-cam for English study?
Hello! That's so sweet of you to ask but we're unable to give permission for the video to be uploaded elsewhere as it's our copyrighted material :) You're most welcome to keep watching our videos on our channel, of course! I hope they help with your English study.
Did you do a Reach: Shadow Legends commercial?
No?! What is that??
@@travelforphoebe . A free video game for mobile phones.... I thought the narrator sounded like you.
ahhhh, right! No, it wasn't me! :(
Please can you show all cities of Australia please please I love the dresses you wear and hat your voice is comfortable for listening 🎧 at anytime I am aavesh shinde from india Mumbai
Hopefully we’re able to travel around all of Australia again very soon!!! 🙌🏻♥️
Is Brisbane good place to live and raise family? Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane which is better?
We love living in Brisbane! It’s a very livable city.
@@travelforphoebe thank you very much for your reply.. I am planning to relocate to Brisbane with wife and 7 years old son.. your videos will definitely help to explore nearly places.
Hope I will see you there 😊
Cheers.
I am seriously thinking about moving to Brisbane if the Australian govt will allow me? Phoebe how expensive is the cost of living in Brisbane?
Brisbane is very liveable! Generally, I believe the cost of living in Australia is quite high compared to parts of South-East Asia, for example. Of course, there are things you can do to keep living costs down (stick to a budget, share-house instead of renting a place by yourself, buy your food at cheaper spots etc).
@@travelforphoebe thank you for the reply. We can trade citizenships and homes. I go to Brisbane and you go to Los Angeles. FYI it is a trap!
@@travelforphoebe southeast Asia? I have been living in Los Angeles for more than 25 years Phoebe. If Brisbane is more affordable than Los Angeles then I would be a happy person. Do you know if it is difficult to obtain Australian citizenship? Will you have more videos on your channel soon?
Hi, you speak al little bit fast for me,but you are wonderful.
😂🙌🏻 thanks for watching
Hehe I just realised I have the same tattoo as you☺️x
Yesss! I love that! I met a girl in San Diego who has it too :) it's like a cool lil sisterhood of matching tattoos! Thank you so much for watching - have a great week ahead. Phoebe xx
Face Snakes?? 😳,
this one of those tricks?
The thing you need to know about face snakes is they like to live inside things and when a human gets close enough they just launch right out and latch onto the face, like a violent noodle with teeth!
@@travelforphoebe 😣😣😣 Are they poisonous though...?
( I can't believe I just asked that... of course they are right?)
hahaha noooo I'm just messing with ya, there are no such thing as face snakes 😝
@@travelforphoebe Hahahaha you got me good...👏👏👏
and i was determined not to fall for it... good one! 😀😀
😂😂😂 it’s what we do! At least now you’re fully prepared for a visit to Australia!
hello
Thank you so much for watching!! :)
please show the cost of living and expenses is missing
This is a travel guide, love, not a living guide 🙌🏻☺️ we don’t share that kind of info on this channel ♥️
You look beautiful as all ways

Really you're lovely I will come
thank you!
Gorgeous place, absolutely stunning place to live, work and explore and amazing people, but disgustingly hot, like debilitatingly hot, after 10 years I had enough & left, It’s possibly one of the most grotesque climates in Australia, the heat just never stops for 7 months of the year, but I still love that city - you filthy hot piece of s***!
You filthy hot piece of sh*** 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t breathe!

Hey quick Question = Samsung or Apple?? 😂
