Brisbane to Bay walk, stunning in winter, and for charity as mentioned.
The Drive in, south brisbane, one of the few left in OZ. Great night out.
- Bushwalking on your doorstep (quite literally as you're in The Gap)..
- Picnics with 5ft Goannas waddling around scavenging
- Living through some of the best and most exciting summer storms complete with massive thunder and lightening, golf ball hail, torrential rain that has your gutters spewing everywhere and the road flowing like a river...
- Diving with huge Manta rays off N. Stradbroke Island
- Watching a game of aerial ping-pong or an ashes cricket clash at the Gabba
- Wallowing in the pool on a balmy summers night, clutching a cold beer and wondering why you ever chose to live in such a silly climate.
- 4WDing down the beach at Bribie Island (or up to Fraser Island if you can be bothered).
- Standing in crowds at South Bank to watch the "Riverfire" fireworks each year...
Storms - I LOVE the qld storms
is there anything as dramatic or scary.
One of my fondest memories of living here for sure.
And the wildlife which as you say is all around you.

And I do know a few people who seem to think it's some sort of party town...not sure I agree though.
Hvaing my first trip up to BNE in ages next month, will see how the place is getting on!

I suppose compared to Sydney or Melbourne it would be low.

Definitely compared to the Gold Coast, El Salvador's crime rate looks good by comparison.
