Thread: It's official, Brisbane is Australias coolest city

dunno about coolest...its been pretty hot the last few days

I cannot wait to leave Brisbane.......just have to wait til 2022

You lot can have it.
I'd rather be in the worlds most livable city. I don't need to be where the lonely people from the lonely planet want to party.

Glad you clarified you thread title - it's 14 degrees here at the moment...

And Bob, if you have to be told you are cool - then your not.... Just ask any teenager...

I live in Logan, not Brisbane. Down here in Logan, we have a more realistic view of the world, sandwiched as we are in between the posers in Brisbane and the party-animals on the Gold Coast.
We Logan bogans think Brissie is full of latte-drinking poncers swanning about in their Audis having their nails done, whining about how the heat is destroying their hairstyles and trying to one-up each other by being seen in the latest restaurants.
Logan bogans are quite happy living in Australia's sixth-largest city by population, even if no-one has ever heard of us. We have nice restaurants too, but we don't care who sees us eating out. And we don't care if our old cars have dents.

Not saying that all crims are bogans but...

LOGAN CITY IS FAST BECOMING GOTHAM CITY AS NARCOTICS AND GANG VIOLENCE TAKES CHARGE

Alarming new crime rates show Logan City has up to nine times the killings that Brisbane and Ipswich do.

STATISTICS released by the Queensland Police in their annual crime rate report last week has found the south-eastern region division which includes Logan and the Gold Coast is among some of the worst crime hotspots in the state.

I can't wait to go in to check out our new cool city. Of course, the inability to stay awake after 10 o'clock might put a dampener on it. But seriously, even old Brighton has come ahead. The shopping centre has been given a complete facelift. Apart from a new chemist, medical centre, physio, etc, we have an IGA, gourmet pizza place [ delicious] , Thai restraint [ where visiting Buddhist Monks come to eat], great butcher, trendy new café where you can have breakfast & lunch with filling & tasty meals, a fresh bread bakery, with fresh bread, cakes, pies etc. , newsagent, post office, even a 24 hour gym , and the place is spotless .


Even old Sandgate has sprouted heaps of al-fresco coffee places, new restaurants a trendy new bar, down an alleyway, that features local talent & designer beers. If you fancy yourself as an artist, you can rock up on a Thursday night & perform. You might get a paying gig on Saturday, if they like you.


One of the best kept secrets is the Barracks precinct, at the top of Caxton St. A movie complex, where you take coffee, food, even a bottle of wine to share in to watch the movie. Various cafes [ one specialises in dumplings! ] shops, Spanish restaurant, another called 'the French Quarter' where we always have lunch after the movie , great French pastries & open sandwiches, salads yumm. My wife & I saw the Railway man last week, followed by a civilised lunch, watching the world pass by.


I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. we have recently visited Sydney & Melbourne, great places to visit, but.... Bob [ what is it with Sydney looking like a third world city in some areas with the rubbish. filthy. ]

Shush Bob, don't go telling everyone, we already have enough southerners moving up here!
