Brisbane Walkabout

Brisbane at Night
Brisbane Australia is a great city. Most people would say it has the perfect climate, with summer daytime temperatures in the range of 25 - 30C and winter daytime temperatures around 15 - 20C. Nighttime temperatures are only about 5 degrees cooler. And the sun shines almost every day.
Whether you're visiting on business, as a tourist, a retiree, or as a student attending one of its many universities and colleges, this is a place you'll love.
The city is about 20 km from the coast on a large river, of the same name, and consequently, unlike other Australian large cities, not on the coast. The city council fixed that problem in the 1950's by creating a man-made beach at South Bank park. South Bank is where folks go to cool off, to see and be seen.
So what's this 'walkabout'? In Australia, a walkabout is a wander through the land, learning its ways and bonding yourself to it. And that's what this the third Wanderer site is about -- a wander through Brisbane, showing you everything you need to know to make your stay memorable. Maybe you'll even 'bond' to it.
