Life in Australia
Australians are generally friendly, easy-going people who work hard during the week and enjoy a relaxed laid-back lifestyle during the weekend. Australian people enjoy outdoor activities, such as sport, beach activities, backyard barbecues and family picnics. Young people like spending time with their friends – going to sporting events, music festivals, concerts, live performances, night clubs and restaurants are quite common forms of socialising.

Life in Brisbane

The city is located in the southeast corner of Queensland (27.5oS, 153oE) and is 960 km (596miles) north of Sydney and 97 km (60miles) north of the Gold Coast. Greater Brisbane comprises over 180 suburbs and localities and covers an area of 1,141 sq. km (440 sq. miles).
Brisbane is a river city making full use of its enviable environment. The Brisbane River winds gently through the city and serves as a delightful way to explore the area. And there is so much to explore. A day in Brisbane might include international standard shopping in the Queen Street Mall; a swim, rainforest walk and lunch at South Bank Parklands; feeding dolphins at Tangalooma, then in the evening dine in world class restaurants and finish with a late night river cruise. But there’s more! Take some time to discover the Botanical Gardens, take an enchanting stroll through Fortitude Valley and Chinatown and a cruise out to the Bay Islands. With so much to do you may need to stay a while longer!
Brisbane has a subtropical climate with temperatures ranging between 20-29 C (68-84 F) in summer and a very pleasant 9-20 C (48-68 F) in winter.
