Oh, sure. My apologies.
Firstly, it's inhabited by Qlders who are very backward. I know people may think I'm saying that in jest, but I'm actually not. There's the odd good one, but really, they're mostly that Alabama Man action figure from South Park come to life in an antipodean setting. They're so parochial it's embarrassing. I remember Wally Lewis reading the news one time when I was up there, and Wimbledon was on. So he's like "Qld's Sam Stosur has won through to blah blah blah", then she lost the next round and he's "Australia's Samantha Stosur has been bundled out..."
The whole location of Brisbane is ****ing awful. And this also goes to the stupidity of Qlders. The State has thousands of kms of pristine beaches, but they built their capital city slightly inland on a sh!t-coloured disgrace of a river which is prone to flooding. They realized the error of their ways, albeit about 150 years late (they're slow) and built a fake beach on the southern bank of the river to try (and fail) to make it appealing.
The restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars are truly woeful. It's 1967 everywhere you look up there in hospo.
Nothing happens there outside of rugby league. Nothing wrong with rugby league, of course, but it's genuinely otherwise a sporting and artistic wasteland.
Lastly, all Brisbane serves as is the gateway to everything else in Qld. That should be its tourism catch phrase - "Brisbane - Boring as Bat **** But You Can Hire a Car and Go Elsewhere." There's just nothing attractive there at all. Nobody wants to stay there - I'll wager it has the highest ratio of day tripping Australian business travelers, because the only good thing there is the Qantas lounge in departures.
