I grew up in Brisbane and, like many of my friends, couldn't wait to leave. 'Boring Brisbane' was its usual nickname in those days. Some friends returned, many didn't. Though I admit it has improved somewhat since then, I still wouldn't visit it at all if I didn't have family there. I did leave at 21 and have lived in diverse places, including London and Melbourne, and only once returned to live whilst I was at university. Other family members have also since moved away, including my parents upon retirement, with only one sibling's family now remaining there. Of course, many people love Brissie and will not relate to my reasons for leaving but, for a start, I find it definitely too hot and humid for half the year. Despite now being a larger city, it still lacks sophistication and a wide range of cultural choices. The arts community does its best but offerings are limited and most international acts and shows do not go to Brisbane. Traffic is appalling, with endless roadworks as the Council never quite catches up with the increasing population. Shopping is also limited mostly to chain stores, as it doesn't yet have the population to support a lot of private retailers. For most Brisbanites, the casual dress code is part of its appeal but I enjoy the chance to dress up at times. Most restaurants will still accept diners wearing only shorts and t-shirts. After years away, I have finally returned to Queensland but NOT Brisbane! Being no longer interested in city life, I am now up the coast a bit, so can drive easily to see family. Summer months are still too hot but I find them more bearable nearer the beach with the sea breezes.
I loved Brisbane as I loved my homeland , I had my best time in my life when I was doing my degree at QUT. I was upset when I had to go back home and I feet my soul still hanging in there between its trees and mountains, I can not forget how friendly and polite the people were and how clean and civalised the city. I am from a very wealthy country and never thought of migrating to any place on the planet except to this amazing country just to live again in happiness. Love You Aussies .
David Siitherism for a start, I said all those attractions were within easy reach, which they are...I never said they were IN Brisbane. Secondly Australia Zoo is in Beerwah which is Sunshine Coast. Thanks for your input though.
David Siitherism yes, and pointing out the excellent attractions within a short drive is good reason why Brisbane is worth visiting. That shouldn’t be difficult to figure out numbnuts. God knows why you’re using so much energy getting wound up by it?
2032 is so far off I don't see the point in thinking about it or getting excited. What exactly is the benefit to Brisbane? And you look into the other cities bidding for the 2032 Olympics, the quality wasn't exactly great. They all either couldn't afford it or the cities weren't high profile enough.
I am from Los Angeles and have been to Brissy three times and it's a VERY clean and well-appointed city. No trash on the sidewalks or homeless people sleeping in tents. The people are pleasant but don't expect too many mind-blowing conversations. Probably a great place to raise children.
Lol, that so accurate about the mind blowing conversations, it's kind of simple without much pretence or depth which could be liberating or unfulfilling depending upon where you are at.
Sydney and Melbourne are like any other big city like NY, London or Paris and I love them too. However, I live in Brisbane and love it here because of Gold coast and Sunshine coast.
Lived in Brissie for 10 years and absolutely loved it. I would add that it's a really attractive city at night, and the river running through it and all the parks and Abundant greenery are a highlight. It's the jump off place for South East Queensland, which is jam-packed full of awesomeness. Australia is so huge that it's awesome when you can have so much to see and do, that's so diverse, in a comparatively compact area. Very practical when you have limited time on a limited budget.
Yeah well I have thought about taking a bachelor in business or marketing, not really decided yet. But I ve heard University of Queensland is said to be very good among international students.
@@danielrsson2171 Cool! Yeah UQ seems like a good university.

I'm coming to Brisbane in February to study one semester abroad. Seeing this video definitely confirms my choice of Brisbane instead of Melbourne or Sydney!
I disagree with the girl that said people are rude. I’ve been living here for over thirty years and people are so friendly. I’ve lived in Melbourne and Sydney and they are less friendly (especially Sydney) plus the weather (minus the humidity) is great!
Born and raised in the bush and Brissie is my favourite capital city by far. Use public transport to avoid traffic congestion on the roads, especially during peak times. Base yourself in Brisbane and you’re an hour from the gold and sunny coasts, 30 mins to Ipswich and 90 mins to Toowoomba.
A friend of mine lived there for two years and loved it apart from it being in the wrong time zone. She hated the fact that barely an hour after getting home from work it was dark year round and really missed the light evenings of a European spring and summer.
I'm probably going to sound like one of those rude people the lady mentioned but like overlooking Brisbane is what is keeping this city the great way it is now. Tourism helps for sure, but put a city out on the map and eventually growth will bring with it standard city problems, like the bloke was mentioning about. If the people want Brisbane to be at the level of Sydney and Melbourne, they must be ready for the downsides that come with it too. Also public transport for the most part is pretty decent. People just need to take it.
I live in Brisbane but I think the best cities for a tourist to go to are Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. I’m not saying Melbourne and Sydney are bad but the last time I went to Melbourne it was really dirty and packed but at least you can go to the MCG, and Sydney is quite polluted. I went on a 100 km bike ride in Brisbane and I rarely went on a road that’s how good it is. And I wouldn’t really recommend Canberra unless you want to visit places like The Parliament House, Questacon, the war memorial or the mint, I wouldn’t really recommend it. I’m not sure about Darwin or Hobart you can go there if you want. But yeah brisbane is my favourite City yet.
I wouldn't say it the best city in Australia, but it's definitely a must-go... Nice places, good weather, good public transport, and a nice infrastructure. Not so expensive as Sydney and Melbourne and pretty close to good beaches like Sunshine and Gold Coast. Great city!
@@princessofpigs Brisbane and Perth are both lovely places but there's nothing inherently more or less dangerous about them than Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart, or any other Australian city for that matter. Like most things with cities, it depends which parts you go to, some areas are safer than others. Overall though, every Australian capital is very safe, certainly relative to global standards.
I lived there for 7 months as a student. It's pretty awesome and chilled city, in comparison with Sydney and Melbourne I would like to give it the first choice in Australia to live and my friends who asked me where to go for studying in Australia they all ended up in Brisbane and still there. The bad thing I don't like about Brissy is supermarket it closes so early around 6 pm excepts Wednesday (I can't remember). Also, night life is a bit dull. But this experiences are years ago.
I live here now. The transportation thing is probably that bus don't come on time or don't come at all. A bit unreliable, but it covers quite well. There're a lot of good restaurant and cafe. West End has plenty of cool thrift shop. It could be peaceful for some and boring for the others tho. I feel scared sometimes at night walking alone. There're a lot of homeless in the city. The street is pretty clean.
Brisbane is actually my favourite Australian city. I’ve never been to Melbourne yet but having been to Canberra, Sydney and Adelaide... Brisbane is by far my favourite.
You definitely should! Send me a message if you want any suggestions on where to go because there’s a lot of stuff within an hours drive that you can do.
Welcome To ahh thanks. Once I have planned, I will message you here. Actually, I want to visit it so I can decide if I want to move there. I was thinking about moving Australia for a while now then I saw some videos about Brisbane and I feel it’s the place where I should live but first I need to see if I am right. live in London and a bit fed up with the growing crime and house prices.
Oh wow, big decision! If you’ve never been here, you should definitely do a bit of a tour to see where you like best (Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast are my suggestions)
@@WelcomeTo Thanks. I am planning to visit Sidney, Brisbane and Gold coast. I will stay there for about two weeks. I might have time for more. I am an accountant and in New South Wales my occupation is on the demand list so I might get a 190 state sponsored visa which allows me to work in New South Wales. We'll see but coming for a visit next year for sure. thanks
Weirdly the back-to-back comments about public transport are both kinda right, there's a lot of public transport options around brisbane (ferry, train, tram, buses, scooters) but they're not very clearly signed, or well scheduled or super reliable. The infrastructure is there, it's just not run that great. wouldn't matter if you were on holiday and not on a tight schedule though.
I reckon the trains are good here buses not so much and we're not rude, I find people in Sydney are ruder, I think we're a more relaxed easy going city. You know we have it pretty good in Brisbane, best part about this city is the weather we hardly get winter :).
Trains every 30 minutes is not good lmao. Not to mention they're late or cancelled every day (despite barely any services on the timetable), and cost 47 kidneys to use. Public transport up here sucks absolute dogsh*t.
0:48 So much to do in Brisbane? Has she really been here 3 years? I like Brisbane and have lived here most of my life. Compared to other cities like Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane is dull. Having said that, that's how I like it here 👍 relaxing lifestyle
Brisbane isn't dull. But it's certainly more relaxed than Melbourne, and a hell of a lot more relaxed than Sydney. But if you really love nightlife and a year long calendar of cultural and sporting events then Melbourne's the place to be (if you can cope with the weather). But I love the vibe in Brisbane, always feel like I'm on holidays when I visit Brisbane. As for Sydney, outside of the harbour (which is stunning), it's just the worst of Melbourne and Brisbane all combined in one place.
Great medium size city . I my book the most liveable and prettiest in Australia. Leave Sydney out. Lived in Sydney best suburbs for 25 years. Melbourne great. More nature around Brisbane than any other Australian city as that guy pointed out. I don't live in Brisbane.
Brisbane is awesome... super laid back. Lived here 4 years now.., from Melbourne (which is great in a different way) It’s like a country town meets a city
Brisbane ,gold coast and sunshine coast is the best part of Australia by far Sydney is like London and I left that hole and Melbourne ia awful with hardly any Australians left there canberra is boring as batshit and freezing while Perth and Adelaide is totally sterile
@@westnblu That's a bit harsh, sure we've suffered a lot more from covid than any other Australian city, but even then I think that's a bit of a ridiculous comparison, if any Australian city is heading the way of Detroit it's Adelaide, but even that's being really harsh on Adelaide.
Awesome sauce! I won’t be in Brisbane for the next two weeks, but I would recommend you “request to join” a bunch of Brisbane community Facebook and backpackers groups now. Then if you’re looking for New Years events you’ll be able to find plenty of people doing fun stuff! :)
@@GarrettEderer that's awesome dude glad to hear you had a great time! Moving there in a few weeks but I pray I don't have any issues with everything going on in the world now 🙏😢🌎🦘🐨
@@WelcomeTo hey mate I live in Brisbane. It is an awesome city to live in. Beautiful weather and awesome city. CBD is not as big as melbourne or Sydney, but there are lots of things to do for just an hour drive from any part of the Brisbane. Gold coast is party City with awesome theme parks as well as beaches and night life. Sunshine coast is an hour drive up north with awesome hinterland, scenic drives and beaches as well as Steve Irwin Australia zoo which is amazing.
As big as America, almost identical in size, just 1/3rd its land mass is hostile unlovable conditions, excessively hot and nature will kill you the first chance it gets lol
@@traviolisupreme Well that's right almost identical in size but America also has death valley where dangerous critters live most notably rattlesnakes.
Brisbane is cheaper than Melbourne the cost of living. No need to use heater in winter if u want to but summer expensive air conditioner and fan... hot and humidity
@@jasonwright9405 I would rather jump in the lagoons or in the beach to beat the heat. I would prefer warm climate over shitty weather of London or NY.
Though at the Goldcoast and the Sunshine Coast ,the bouncers at nightclubs are absolutely shit .. you’re been thrown out for drinking , if they think your are to drunk without hurting anybody or annoying any one .. other then that , yes Brisbane area is a wonderful place .. been there heaps of times ..
Brisbane's boring af. You have to go to GC or SC for the beach, fly to the ski field's (or drive over 13hrs to get to Jindabyne). The only good thing is the night life in the Valley.
Thanks Nat! 😁 You had some good answers but the video was getting a little long so I cut it down 😬 I was thinking of also posting extended videos like Kassem G... 🤔

Melbourne for me, is the best city in Australia. The weather, quality of life, the culture scene & even the people are very classy. Even the houses there seem to be more upscale. But the living cost is too damn expensive! Just to give everyone an idea, it’s even more expensive than the UK!!! But Australia overall is more expensive than the US & Canada. Brisbane, is a 2nd choice for me. It has the right balance of city life & nature. But it’s very humid during the summer. You really sweat a lot even more than being in the desert! Sydney, on the other hand, is really vibrant & exciting, but more of a tourist spot rather than a place to actually live in. Nowadays, Sydney is actually becoming another extension of China. I won’t be surprised if one day, China would claim it as another one of their territories. LOL..
Access to real food McDonald???? holly molly.....what kind of diet is that? There are plenty of good restaurants in Brisbane and all this guy can think of is McDonald. That's sick!!!
Haha that’s kinda my fault for portraying it that way! He was saying that he lived in a small town with only one McDonalds, so being in a town like Brisbane he now has access to lots of good restaurants. So I made a joke that there were three McDonalds on this street alone! 😂
that,s right Brisbane is good city to leave but according to me it is worst place by the local people there as i was there for 4 to 5 years, and what i found selfless people mean at all, no help from no one there, whatever i found just by my hard work there, no body supported at all , this is what i thought and found explained,

I'm sorry I have to laugh. Public transport isn't as well organised as it is in Sydney, the trains in Brisbane don't run that frequently, maybe every 20 minutes or so, even on a weekend. And there are so many suburbs in Brisbane that don't have enough trees!!! You will sweat your ass off if you're walking around looking for a bus stop in the suburbs.
It’s a boring place with no class or style where everything closes at 6 pm, where fashion dies and where people think of things like laundry as luxury. Everything is luxury! The food is good but the restaurants are like from the 80s
How long ago were you in Brisbane? It's changed a fair bit in the last 10 years. Sure people may not be as fashionable as they are in Melbourne or Sydney but that's probably a result if Brisbane being hotter and more relaxed, and as a result people are friendlier (especially compared to Sydney). Yes some shops still close a little early but it's much better than it was even just a few years ago.
@@Jordan-288 I live in Brisbane now. Seriously, with fresh and nice quality ingredients available to you, why are the restaurants so bad?! What they call “fine dining” here, in other counties would be called street food or cafe at best. No ambiance, no interior design, no style. But the people are really nice and friendly, that’s true
@@Кася-ь3л I mean look I'm from Melbourne but I've spent a reasonable amount of time in Brisbane throughout the years, and I always love it it there. If any city in Australia in notorious for its food scene, it's Melbourne. And sure Brisbane is nowhere near that level, but I never struggled to find decent places to eat when I'm visiting. That being said I'm not into really fine dining, I think that's something you're more likely to find in Sydney (although there are plenty of high-end restaurants in Melbourne too). That being said, it'll cost you an arm and a leg. If it's a really big deal for you, you could move to somewhere with a better fine dining scene. My only criticism of dining in Queensland is your unnatural obsession with The Coffee Club. Heads up Queenslander's! The Coffee Club is both expensive and rubbish in my opinion. Yet in so many Brisbane suburbs and even regional Queensland towns, it's the only option!
Don't come here in summer ,come here in winter ,spring or late late summer ......DO NOT come here in December -februrary it's a humid ,putrid swamphole full of mosquitoes and the tropical heat and humidity is mind alteringly bad

They talked alot about traffic l have to say that traffic in brisbane is nowhere near as bad as Melbourne and Sydney. These two state are the worst traffic ever especially Melbourne its become unbearable. This is why l recently moved here...
Short answer: no! Justification: where I go to school, I’d say half the kids are people of colour or descendants of which. People who are racist are always slammed over here, and that never happens because I’ve never really seen any racial disputes around. Every monument or site has a sign outside recognising the indigenous population, and nobody side eyes anyone. Culture here is a woo hoo as well. You should come, best city on earth from where I’ve been.
It's a beautiful city ,just needs a little bit more. How's fortitude valley bring back all the good old niteclubs, Roxy, terminus, Tony,s tit club downunder, images, cockertoo bar or beat,transformers.and the great dj,s, bring it on with the true music. Not techno wat shit.

Welcome To ahh thanks. Once I have planned, I will message you here. Actually, I want to visit it so I can decide if I want to move there. I was thinking about moving Australia for a while now then I saw some videos about Brisbane and I feel it’s the place where I should live but first I need to see if I am right. live in London and a bit fed up with the growing crime and house prices.
Oh wow, big decision! If you’ve never been here, you should definitely do a bit of a tour to see where you like best (Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast are my suggestions)
@@WelcomeTo Thanks. I am planning to visit Sidney, Brisbane and Gold coast. I will stay there for about two weeks. I might have time for more. I am an accountant and in New South Wales my occupation is on the demand list so I might get a 190 state sponsored visa which allows me to work in New South Wales. We'll see but coming for a visit next year for sure. thanks
Sunshine Coast one hour north of Brisbane lower crimes than Melbourne the more
Weirdly the back-to-back comments about public transport are both kinda right, there's a lot of public transport options around brisbane (ferry, train, tram, buses, scooters) but they're not very clearly signed, or well scheduled or super reliable. The infrastructure is there, it's just not run that great. wouldn't matter if you were on holiday and not on a tight schedule though.
I can agree with more welcoming. When I was there I liked everything except traffic
Tourism Australia will be putting this on TV in no time, you'll be the next Lara Bingle m8!
Lara Bingle got nothing on me... I do the interviews AND operate the camera ;)
find me posted on the southern outskirts of Brisbane in my hometown of Woodridge aka the hood.
I reckon the trains are good here buses not so much and we're not rude, I find people in Sydney are ruder, I think we're a more relaxed easy going city. You know we have it pretty good in Brisbane, best part about this city is the weather we hardly get winter :).
Sydney the big one
Trains every 30 minutes is not good lmao. Not to mention they're late or cancelled every day (despite barely any services on the timetable), and cost 47 kidneys to use. Public transport up here sucks absolute dogsh*t.
Man I wish I could visit Brisbane one day.
There's a FREE FERRY in Brisbane!

Actually three times despite my cousin living and growing there
Brisbane, got great memories there.
0:48 So much to do in Brisbane? Has she really been here 3 years? I like Brisbane and have lived here most of my life. Compared to other cities like Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane is dull. Having said that, that's how I like it here 👍 relaxing lifestyle
Kristof Alexy Jesus Christ dude just chill
Brisbane isn't dull. But it's certainly more relaxed than Melbourne, and a hell of a lot more relaxed than Sydney. But if you really love nightlife and a year long calendar of cultural and sporting events then Melbourne's the place to be (if you can cope with the weather). But I love the vibe in Brisbane, always feel like I'm on holidays when I visit Brisbane. As for Sydney, outside of the harbour (which is stunning), it's just the worst of Melbourne and Brisbane all combined in one place.
I want to live there and work there
Woo! 😁
I love the video! I live near Brisbane myself. Just wondering what mic do you use?
Such a good quality video
Great medium size city . I my book the most liveable and prettiest in Australia. Leave Sydney out. Lived in Sydney best suburbs for 25 years. Melbourne great. More nature around Brisbane than any other Australian city as that guy pointed out. I don't live in Brisbane.
I wish i could go to Brisbane but i am a couple thousand dollars short to be exact $2,820 short
Well at least you can experience Brisbane for free through my videos!
Save more
Brisbane is awesome... super laid back. Lived here 4 years now.., from Melbourne (which is great in a different way)
It’s like a country town meets a city
Brisbane is cool and all but I prefer Melbourne.
I can't wait to go back whenever this damn Covid shit dies down.
Anyone knows the music in the background?
Brisbane ,gold coast and sunshine coast is the best part of Australia by far Sydney is like London and I left that hole and Melbourne ia awful with hardly any Australians left there canberra is boring as batshit and freezing while Perth and Adelaide is totally sterile
Brisbane is love
“Brisbane’s better than Sydney, but not as good as Melbourne.”
The truest thing I’ve heard today.
Have u been to Melbourne lately? From my humble observations its heading the way of Detroit.
@@westnblu I'm from Melbourne but i can somewhat see what you mean.
@@westnblu I moved down to Melbourne 2yrs ago and can confirm this to be true.. glad I moved back to Brisbane last year
@@westnblu That's a bit harsh, sure we've suffered a lot more from covid than any other Australian city, but even then I think that's a bit of a ridiculous comparison, if any Australian city is heading the way of Detroit it's Adelaide, but even that's being really harsh on Adelaide.
I'm coming! in... 4 days! Still haven't planned my trip though. Haha
Awesome sauce! I won’t be in Brisbane for the next two weeks, but I would recommend you “request to join” a bunch of Brisbane community Facebook and backpackers groups now. Then if you’re looking for New Years events you’ll be able to find plenty of people doing fun stuff! :)
@@WelcomeTo Thanks for the suggestion!
Ok so how did it go man?
@@frameofmind229 It was great! I had a lot of different adventures and came away with some really great memories. :)
@@GarrettEderer that's awesome dude glad to hear you had a great time! Moving there in a few weeks but I pray I don't have any issues with everything going on in the world now 🙏😢🌎🦘🐨
I live in Brisbane it is the best ever!!!
I live in brisbane
Do you think it’s worth going to? (For tourists)
@@WelcomeTo hey mate I live in Brisbane. It is an awesome city to live in. Beautiful weather and awesome city. CBD is not as big as melbourne or Sydney, but there are lots of things to do for just an hour drive from any part of the Brisbane. Gold coast is party City with awesome theme parks as well as beaches and night life. Sunshine coast is an hour drive up north with awesome hinterland, scenic drives and beaches as well as Steve Irwin Australia zoo which is amazing.
Brisbane doesn’t get a enough credit and it’s the best city in Australia
Australia is a big place
As big as America, almost identical in size, just 1/3rd its land mass is hostile unlovable conditions, excessively hot and nature will kill you the first chance it gets lol
@@traviolisupreme Well that's right almost identical in size but America also has death valley where dangerous critters live most notably rattlesnakes.
I wish I could go to Brisbane but It's too expensive for me. Lol. It's just one of those can only do it once per life time.
Brisbane is pretty exciting, but definitely go to Vegas first! And then Paris. And then Hawaii. And then Brisbane!
Brisbane is cheaper than Melbourne the cost of living. No need to use heater in winter if u want to but summer expensive air conditioner and fan... hot and humidity
@@jasonwright9405 I would rather jump in the lagoons or in the beach to beat the heat. I would prefer warm climate over shitty weather of London or NY.
brisbane may be clean but holy f*ck the roads are so broken and shit
To me Brisbane is a pretty much laid back version of Sydney, but Melbourne is better overall.
Melbourne is heading the way of Detroit FAST!!
Though at the Goldcoast and the Sunshine Coast ,the bouncers at nightclubs are absolutely shit .. you’re been thrown out for drinking , if they think your are to drunk without hurting anybody or annoying any one .. other then that , yes Brisbane area is a wonderful place .. been there heaps of times ..
Best city in Australia.
No it's not the people there are a fucking dipshits
@@thecommiehunter1149 I think you might be the problem
@@frameofmind229 how am i the problem when the city is full of dipshits i love country people the most
@@thecommiehunter1149 so everyone in the city is a dipshit? Nobody there is approachable? You just sound extremely negative.
@@frameofmind229 yep country people are better
will definilety go
😁👍
Brisbane's boring af. You have to go to GC or SC for the beach, fly to the ski field's (or drive over 13hrs to get to Jindabyne). The only good thing is the night life in the Valley.
Hmm pretty damn true lol. Backward boring antisocial and i fg HATE HUMIDITY heat
Brisbane, my favourite city in the whole world
Haven't travelled much then?
@@hansg540 well I guess holding a Chinese passport wouldn't allow me to😃
What! The public transport isn’t ideal? I understand it can fail, and when it fails it fails bad, but when it works properly its fine
@Kristof Alexy What!? In Queensland at least the public transport is good. I'd have to disagree.
Come to Logan…. Gods country
Fk Logan 😅😅😅😅😅
Haha 😂 ... should be renamed to Bogan.
Brisbane is the best city in Australia👌
Meh
Miss Brisbane & Gold Coast
Why did you leave
Aw we only made a couple of seconds of it
Nice vid though bud
Thanks Nat! 😁 You had some good answers but the video was getting a little long so I cut it down 😬 I was thinking of also posting extended videos like Kassem G... 🤔
Your bro's answer is a great example of why you don't ask broke people if there's a lot of things to do in Brissy. Hahaha

@@Prince077Aussie Agreed, but shhhhh!
Melbourne for me, is the best city in Australia. The weather, quality of life, the culture scene & even the people are very classy. Even the houses there seem to be more upscale. But the living cost is too damn expensive! Just to give everyone an idea, it’s even more expensive than the UK!!! But Australia overall is more expensive than the US & Canada.
Brisbane, is a 2nd choice for me. It has the right balance of city life & nature. But it’s very humid during the summer. You really sweat a lot even more than being in the desert!
Sydney, on the other hand, is really vibrant & exciting, but more of a tourist spot rather than a place to actually live in. Nowadays, Sydney is actually becoming another extension of China. I won’t be surprised if one day, China would claim it as another one of their territories. LOL..
Brisbane>Melbourne
fite me irl
Brisbane is the best
Lol 😂 uve got to be kidding me. Small city. Melb is BIG and a plenty of things to do
Best bypassed on the way to somewhere more interesting...
"Brisbane is better than Sydney, but not as good as Melbourne". 😁 Agreed
Do more videos in brisi
hmm need to think
Access to real food McDonald???? holly molly.....what kind of diet is that? There are plenty of good restaurants in Brisbane and all this guy can think of is McDonald. That's sick!!!
Haha that’s kinda my fault for portraying it that way! He was saying that he lived in a small town with only one McDonalds, so being in a town like Brisbane he now has access to lots of good restaurants. So I made a joke that there were three McDonalds on this street alone! 😂
spoiled now but australia's cities actually look like united states cities as craZy
I've been all over the world and Brisbane is the best place ever sans the homeless.
Cap the best part about brisbane is the airport
On the way out..
Melbourne's like a bigger, better version of BrisVegas. Brisbane tries to compete with Sydney and Melbourne, lol.
Not really, no. Don't get me wrong, I love both Melbourne and Brisbane, but they are very different cities.
that,s right Brisbane is good city to leave but according to me it is worst place by the local people there as i was there for 4 to 5 years, and what i found selfless people mean at all, no help from no one there, whatever i found just by my hard work there, no body supported at all ,
this is what i thought and found explained,
is that Australia or California?????
Australia 😁 🇦🇺
well that well said brisbane is new california state AU

Not really...
Come on Brissy is way better than Melbourne
omg i just realized the woman in ponytail is wearing a black shirt that says "anti hentai"
Public transport on Brisbane is so good u just need to learn how to use it
I'm sorry I have to laugh. Public transport isn't as well organised as it is in Sydney, the trains in Brisbane don't run that frequently, maybe every 20 minutes or so, even on a weekend. And there are so many suburbs in Brisbane that don't have enough trees!!! You will sweat your ass off if you're walking around looking for a bus stop in the suburbs.
Brisbane is the " Go"
It’s a boring place with no class or style where everything closes at 6 pm, where fashion dies and where people think of things like laundry as luxury. Everything is luxury! The food is good but the restaurants are like from the 80s
How long ago were you in Brisbane? It's changed a fair bit in the last 10 years. Sure people may not be as fashionable as they are in Melbourne or Sydney but that's probably a result if Brisbane being hotter and more relaxed, and as a result people are friendlier (especially compared to Sydney). Yes some shops still close a little early but it's much better than it was even just a few years ago.
@@Jordan-288 I live in Brisbane now. Seriously, with fresh and nice quality ingredients available to you, why are the restaurants so bad?! What they call “fine dining” here, in other counties would be called street food or cafe at best. No ambiance, no interior design, no style. But the people are really nice and friendly, that’s true
@@Кася-ь3л I mean look I'm from Melbourne but I've spent a reasonable amount of time in Brisbane throughout the years, and I always love it it there. If any city in Australia in notorious for its food scene, it's Melbourne. And sure Brisbane is nowhere near that level, but I never struggled to find decent places to eat when I'm visiting. That being said I'm not into really fine dining, I think that's something you're more likely to find in Sydney (although there are plenty of high-end restaurants in Melbourne too). That being said, it'll cost you an arm and a leg.
If it's a really big deal for you, you could move to somewhere with a better fine dining scene.
My only criticism of dining in Queensland is your unnatural obsession with The Coffee Club. Heads up Queenslander's! The Coffee Club is both expensive and rubbish in my opinion. Yet in so many Brisbane suburbs and even regional Queensland towns, it's the only option!
Don't come here in summer ,come here in winter ,spring or late late summer ......DO NOT come here in December -februrary it's a humid ,putrid swamphole full of mosquitoes and the tropical heat and humidity is mind alteringly bad
Agreed. Spring is the best and imagine Victoria summer in Qld (sept to early dec)
Already been there before.
And?
To answer the question: No. There are way more interesting places in Australia to visit. Brisbane tries hard but is just mediocre.
I love this city 😍😍😍, Can anyone send me an invitation to come 😭😭😭
-----INVITATION-----
You are hereby officially
invited to visit Brisbane City.

Lol
There's a FREE FERRY in Brisbane!

Traffic what Traffic, come to London for Traffic
The difference is that not that many people in London actually have cars. In Australia, EVERYONE gets a car as soon as they're old enough.
@@tatiana4446 don't know what London you are from, but lived all my life in London think I know what I am talking about.
as you can see from my malaysian flag i aint no vietcong or punjabi, im malaysian singapore indonesia brunei. my business is for me.
calm down
Perth rules!
But it’s so far away from the exciting east coast! What are the unique advantages of Perth?... maybe I’ll film a video there! 😁

@@WelcomeTo I'm from Perth and nah its a shithole. Don't bother with Perth or Adelaide.
They talked alot about traffic l have to say that traffic in brisbane is nowhere near as bad as Melbourne and Sydney. These two state are the worst traffic ever especially Melbourne its become unbearable. This is why l recently moved here...
Can't wait to move to Brisbane and this video didn't help at all lol
Oh... Those being interviewed probably never been to north east Asian countries . Brisbane is pretty dead in my opinion.
Depends on what your priorities are I guess
Not anymore...
Are there any racial problems in Brisbane?
Stop Go
What are those?
Short answer: no!
Justification: where I go to school, I’d say half the kids are people of colour or descendants of which. People who are racist are always slammed over here, and that never happens because I’ve never really seen any racial disputes around. Every monument or site has a sign outside recognising the indigenous population, and nobody side eyes anyone. Culture here is a woo hoo as well. You should come, best city on earth from where I’ve been.
no
Yes
It's a beautiful city ,just needs a little bit more. How's fortitude valley bring back all the good old niteclubs, Roxy, terminus, Tony,s tit club downunder, images, cockertoo bar or beat,transformers.and the great dj,s, bring it on with the true music. Not techno wat shit.
Brisbane is better city than Melbourne
Debatable. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. I love them both, but they are different cities for people who prioritise different things.
i live here lol
No. No. And no.
