I studied abroad in Sydney for a year starting in 2018. I am currently writing a blog about my experience.
By reading this post, you’ll get to know about Brisbane!
Three places you must visit in Brisbane!
1 City Hall, the symbol of the city
Built in 1930, City Hall stands a whopping 92 meters tall and is a symbol of Brisbane.
It is said to have been the most expensive building in Australia in the past.
There is an observatory inside the clock tower where you can see the view of the city.
You can also take a free guided tour of the interior of the building.
The building is lit up at night, so you can see a different view than during the day.
- Address: 64 Adelaide St, Brisbane City QLD 4000 Australia
- Opening hours: Weekdays 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Weekends 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
2 South Bank – Nature in the City
South Bank is a cultural center across the Brisbane River, with parks, restaurants, and cafes.
There’s also a popular tourist photo op called the Brisbane Sign, perfect for a photo op!
There is also an archaeological site called the Nepalese Pagoda in the very large grounds, which will make you feel like you are in Asia.
These ruins were displayed at the 1988 World’s Fair.
- Address: south bank brisbane
3 Lone Pine Koala Park where you can interact with koalas
Lone Pine Koala Park was opened in 1927 and is the oldest and largest koala park in the world.
The park is home to more than 100 koalas, and you can even hold a koala in your arms.
The park also houses kangaroos, wombats, and other rare animals that can only be seen in Australia.
The site is very large, so it is best to allow plenty of time.
If you want to be healed by koalas, this is the place to go!
It is easy to get there by cab.
- Address: 708 Jesmond Rd, Fig Tree Pocket QLD 4069 Australia
- Opening hours: Daily 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
What is Brisbane?
Brisbane is located in the southeast of Queensland and is the third largest city in Australia.
It is characterized by high average temperatures and long sunny periods throughout the year.
The city has experienced three major floods due to the large number of creeks in the city area.
On the other hand, people from various countries live in the city, and the people are friendly and safe.
In addition, access to the beach is also close, so it is popular as a study abroad destination for people who like the ocean.
Summary
- A city with good weather all year round
- A beautiful place where nature and the city are in harmony
- Prices are cheaper than Sydney and easier to live in
I’ve introduced three must-visit places in Brisbane!
I’ll be posting more information about Australia in the future, so stay tuned.
Thank you for reading to the end!
