	Brisbane Region
		Brisbane, the capital of Queensland is the third largest city in Australia and the gateway to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
		Seen from the river or the top of Mount Coot-tha, Brisbane is attractive enough, with the typical features of any Australian city of a comparable age and size: a historic precinct, museums and botanic gardens.
		While Brisbane is hardly noted for its beach life, with muddy shorelines attracting mangroves rather than sun worshippers, the largest of the bay’s islands, Moreton and North Stradbroke, are generously endowed with sand, and are just the right distance from the city to make their beaches accessible but seldom crowded.

	Brisbane City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Built in the 1890s, its grandeur reflects the wealth of Queensland’s gold mines (though by this point most were on the decline) and was a slap in the face to New South Wales, which had spitefully withdrawn all financial support from the fledgling state on separation some eighty years previously, leaving it bankrupt.
		Brisbane’s centre is small and possible to cover on foot, but as the only Queensland city with anything that approaches a decent transit system, it offers a level of luxury that’s worth taking advantage of.
		Brisbane has no gastronomic tradition to exploit, but there’s a good variety of bars and restaurants all over the city, with a trend towards “Modern Australian” (creative use of local produce, influenced by Asia and the Mediterranean), and a fashionable café society in Fortitude Valley and the West End.

	Brisbane - Queensland
		Brisbane is Australia’s third largest city (after Sydney and Melbourne), and scatters her 1.4 million inhabitants so effectively over a series of low hills that sometimes it is easy to forget that it’s situated on a river.
		Since the 1980s, Brisbane has embraced the idea of progress and is now a wealthy and cosmopolitan urban centre, though it still retains something of a country heart and country morality.
		Brisbane was founded in 1824 from a nightmarish beginning as a convict settlement for the “hardest cases” from Sydney.
