Default Calling all Brisbanites!!!!

Our new friend, and general all round good egg, Timber Floor au, has kindly offered with the help of his missus Debs to try and set up a site for folks interested in Brisbane.

Anyone out there feel they might have anything good to contribute tot his site, please speak up.

The kind of stuff which would be good: good areas to live ( taking into account different price brackets ), where the good schools are, inc childcare facilities, a weekly / monthly guide to cost of living i.e average shopping basket / price of wine , stuff to do for the kids etc, etc.

Cheers,

I wouldn't think they call themselves Brisbanites. I'd say it's Brisbanians because Melburnians hate being called Melbournites. Sounds like some kind of household pest as opposed to naming the people of a city. I think Adelaide people called themselves Adelaidians but I don't know what Perth people call themselves.
