Short on sights but long on living, Brisbane is a casual riverside city that exudes its own kind of style in a very laid-back, Queensland way. Where else in the world can you spend your lunchbreak sunbathing on an artificial beach while looking directly across the river into the city centre? Yep, Brisbane-ites know a thing or two about how life should be lived, and they don't feel the need to blow their own horn about it. While Sydney and Melbourne are engaged in a constant battle for supremacy, in Brisbane life simply goes on, at its own pace. With a tropical climate and world class beaches to the north and south, Brisbane makes for a pleasant place to spend a few days enjoying its bars, restaurants and shopping before heading on to the nearby Sunshine Coast.
