Brisbane city was founded in year 1824 has a population of approximately 2.3 million and with the city situated nearer to the tropical zone it allows 280 days of sunshine a year, is why many young people live and work in this charming vibrant city, also real estate and rental is cheaper here making this city cheaper to live in.
Brisbane city at the moment is the fastest growing city from all our cities in Australia, why for an number of reasons, as I mentioned above it's an cheaper city to live in all round also an great place to work, live and relax. I found it to be an very livable city with awesome weather, many green areas and parks along the river and the city was very lively and vibrant with many bars and restaurants to choose from.
The Brisbane River which is the highlight of Brisbane city has had many uses throughout the centuries dating back to our first people of Australia the Aboriginal people using it as a food source, fishing and growing there crops by the river, it was there main food source from this river and today it still remains that way but today it's also used as the main transport hub for the Brisbane people to and from work and for leisure.

Also you have many boats cruises along this river day or night, like the Kookaburra Showboat Cruises that you can enjoy lunch or dinner while cruising the river enjoying the sites of the city and nature parks while having a glass of wine.
Brisbane city at night can be so spectacular and romantic whether your, sitting under the famous Brisbane Story Bridge or cruising the river on an dinner boat, we were quite comfortable sitting in a bar under the bridge, enjoyed the nightly vibes of the city people and the city lights. Was really an superb view from this side of the city looking into the city with the Brisbane Story Bridge reflecting it's colorful lights across the river. It is here under this Brisbane Story Bridge that all the action happens on New Years night the bridge displays a sensational night of fireworks for the countdown. One spot you would love to be.
