Pre-Launch
Edition.
Named after a colonial
governor Sir Thomas Brisbane- this former penal settlement first
opened in 1824 and was used as a camp for repeat offenders sent from
Sydney.
As Capital City of Queensland,
Brisbane still enjoys many of the casual ways of the 1960's. This is
despite now being Australia's third largest city and home to many
office tower complexes. The dress code for money making is
still considered to be - big hat- open shirt and shorts.
All the old world charm of this
previously sprawling city was not lost during the the 60's makeover
and it has also equipped itself with superb cultural and
recreational facilities. Brisbane continues to be a magnet for
migration from the south. There is still the air of New
Orleans about the lazy parts of the riverside.
Affectionately known as "Brizzy"
it has a wonderful doorstep playground at the Gold Coast where over
3 million tourists a year show a keen interest in this world famous
surfers paradise and night-life.
We will bring you more of this
famous city and it's people shortly. Meanwhile we invite you

forum and have your say about where you live.
