BRISBANE Travel Guide: Know Before You Go | Little Grey Box 

Brisbane is nice my sister is living there

"I hail from Melbourne and haven't visited Brisbane yet. I trust that this RU-vid video will be immensely helpful as it provides a thorough and detailed explanation. Many thanks for taking the time to upload this valuable content!"

I'd love to be quarantined in Brisbane rather than experiencing this lockdown in Eindhoven! Brisbane is a great city, especially outside the CBD. I liked South Bank a lot with all the perfect parks and the public swimming pool. Australian English by the way sounds much better than American English! The slang is great and makes it feel like you're friends with anybody. For example the police passed by and said "hey buddy" to me, and the tour guide approached people with hey mate or g'day folks. This way Australians talk to people makes you feel home immediately. Kudos to the Australian culture and slang. I did experience the heat, but coming from a cold European December, the sun was very much welcome. I didn't mind the one time I got sunburnt. Luckily I didn't experience any sunstrokes. I haven't experienced any storms either during my month in Australia, guess I was lucky! Next time I'm going to Australia I'll hope it's gonna be a one-way ticket to Melbourne. Otherwise I'll start in Brisbane and will probably end up in Cairns for some Great Barrier Reef diving. Previous time I've travelled Melbourne-Tasmania-Sydney-GoldCoast-Brisbane-Perth. Currently I'm busy with my IELTS test preparation in order to apply for a visa 189 or 190 (VIC/NSW/QLD). Do you have any tips which will help to get an 8 for the English test or to speed up the processing time? Regarding the food in Brisbane, I saw lots of options in Woolworths which I missed a lot from my trip to Seoul, for example I cooked Bulgogi beef multiple times myself, in the apartment with seaview. There's no need to go to restaurants daily if you can make delicious food yourself and dine with awesome views! If you travel for one month, it cooking yourself is sometimes more relaxed than going out again for dinner and it also saves some money to do awesome tours! Well this is a long comment so I'm gonna bring it to an end. Have a great weekend and make sure you don't get COVID-19! 🤙

October till April is most of the year sunshine :) nice to know, we are melting here at 30 degrees

Your videos are excellent and fun to listen to. Thanks for posting again. Keep it up.

Nice finding your channel. New to brissie and I share my experience in Brisbane too... it's such a beautiful city and the clear blue sky is a win. Love the ferry services...

One of our must-visit destination with my family from BKK Thailand right after the pandemic.

Brilliant!! We will be there the end of August. What a wonderful introduction to your city.

Travelling from Melbourne, this is best video about Brissie!

Thank your information. Very useful tips in preparing my trip in June next year

Great tips ! Excellent work

Hey little grey box! I am very happy to discover your channel. I am looking forward to come to Brisbane this year and talk about my experience with you. By the way, enjoyed your video. Good luck!

Hi Phoebe! I live in Liverpool UK, I'm hoping to move to Brisbane, it looks amazing. Just wanted to say your videos and channel have helped loads. Best of luck in life! And hopefully I'll be a resident soon!

love the video

Wow. This was simply fantastic. I love the tips. Everything. The Aussie slang was funny to me as a westerner. And I noticed the Canada book on the table to your left. :) How's it going is very common here America and Canada. However, to hear "how's it gone" will throw us for a loop as that's not what we say here. And I won't even common on "thong". :)

Great effort, I wish you all the best and safety

This was really helpful! Answered my tipping question. I did some research that some places add gratuity to the bill automatically. Saw a post on it from last year. I will for sure bring lots of sunscreen so I don't burn. I am a little scared of going in the water. I heard some areas have the nets for protection. Will try to plan it accordingly so I don't burn.

Woooowww 😍 😍🥰🥰 amazing 😘😘😘

If you plan to come. Make Brisbane your central hub. Stay at least 4 days. Beautiful beaches south and north. Amazing rainforest 30 min drive from the city. Mt Glorious. To the west is stunning Moreton Bay. Brisbane is Australia's most under rated city. In Brisbane try Roma Street Gardens. Mt Cootha lookout and Botanical gardens. City botanical gardens. Cultural Centre has Museums galore. South bank Gardens. Try the suburban centres such as west end, Paddington, new farm and bulimba. Catch a city cat ferry and cruise the river. Eat at Eat Street. Try rock climbing at kangaroo point. Go to lone pine to hug a koala. Explore Toowong Cemetery. Do a ghost tour of Boggo Road Jail. Visit the Commissariat Store museum for a taste of early life. Go visit historic Newstead house. Try the Bulimba Creek walking tracks at Carindale. Vistit the many bushlands around the city including Boondall wetlands. You will be surprised how much there is to do in this city let alone the nightlife and all the normal things. Many tourists say they wish they had planned to stay longer. Brissy is the most Australian city in the country. Melbourne is European and Sydney is cosmopolitan. Brisbane is laid back and welcoming. People smile and are happy to chat with strangers. There is very little graffiti as the council clean it off. Brisbane is very clean and modern yet still has Australis most grandest old buildings. Brisbane is more and more embracing it's subtropical climate. Many lovely flowering trees and plants. The river is brown. It's a tidal river so it will never be blue or clear. It is home to 2000 bull sharks. That's why no one swims in it. There are many Eddy's and rips under the surface you can't see. Sunrise and sunsets are stunning. Blue Sky's are common with big puffy white clouds. It's perfect weather in winter June to August. The best time of year is September. Stunning days. Summer can be stiffly hot and humid with spectacular thunderstorms most afternoons. Most of all the same comment most tourists say is they can't believe how green Brisbane is. Some have said it's a city of forests. It was voted one of the most beautiful cities of the world for it's mix of grand sandstone buildings mixed with gleaming glass skyscrapers and it's gardens and flamboyant color. Enjoy

It would be nice if you could do a five day itinerary video!!! You do a lot of what to see but realistically how would we planned those trips out over a 3/5 days as an example

👍👍👍 good tips

Thanks Phoebe & Matt, great tips 😄 have you got any great family accommodation resort style stays?

G'Day. You are doing a wonderful job.

Beautiful videos Brisbane.. 🌏👈👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

Nice video❤️👍.

great

An older vid - that skyline is even more incredible in 2023 - but if you saw this town before Expo 88, left Oz and flew back today - whoa ...... It really WAS a 'big country town' a mere 35 years ago.

I plan to participate in an exchange study program to Brisbane. I hope everything will go right but either way great video. For me it's a dream to live in a warm country near the beach, playing volleyball, enjoying good weather all the year. Brisbane also seems to be a city with the best size. Not too big and not too small.

I am from Brisbane. Australia

Tricked by Drop Bears!

Thanks for the Tips mate love your RU-vid videos and I Subscribe to you channel cheers mate!!😊😊

I sometimes stay a night in Brisbane when I go out nightclubbing or arrived back from my overseas trip and I've stayed at The Point Hotel in Kangaroo Point. I highly recommend that hotel. It feels more homely, rooms are pretty, love Lamberts Restaurant and a short walk to the Story Bridge. Love your videos.

Do you like skyscrapers? Because Brisbane now has some beautiful tall buildings.

Really enjoyed this insightful video. Will be landing into Brisbane in March from London. You mentioned the things to be cautious of, just wanted to check as could not find on google, the 'face snakes'? The snakes and spiders we are terrified about. Staying in CDB and asked for a very high floor. Crazy question (sorry!), but can snakes get into apartments, like 20th floor? Thank you for a great video :D

Hi. Amazing video thank you! How is the traffic in Brisbane? Were from NZ and hoping to travel to Bisbane around Nov. would you recommend renting a car in going around or is public transport better?

Relax place to go to..1 night at Gold Coast..😁👍🏻

Hello Beautiful Phoebe & Matt. With extra beautiful & informative video..I to much impress the extra beautiful video shots from Matt behind the Camara...I am a big big fan of ur Channel & Videos....& Special Thanks for ur replies.

Hi..phoebe..where are u from?it's great video.

Hi i agree, food is not cheap in Brisbane.

As good as your tips are, I'm a little bit sad that you skipped Brisbane's holy trinity of food, Moorooka, Inala Civic and Sunnybank. Also, if you've never been, check out the polish club restaurant. Quirky, quaint and closed by 8pm, what more could you want?

Did you do a Reach: Shadow Legends commercial?

Hi there

I want to put Korean subtitles on your video. What should I do?

Can I upload your video on my RU-vid for English study?

Please can you show all cities of Australia please please I love the dresses you wear and hat your voice is comfortable for listening 🎧 at anytime I am aavesh shinde from india Mumbai

Is Brisbane good place to live and raise family? Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane which is better?

Hehe I just realised I have the same tattoo as you☺️x

Hi, you speak al little bit fast for me,but you are wonderful.

I am seriously thinking about moving to Brisbane if the Australian govt will allow me? Phoebe how expensive is the cost of living in Brisbane?

please show the cost of living and expenses is missing

Face Snakes?? 😳, this one of those tricks?

You look beautiful as all ways

hello

🙂👍🏻🇦🇺🤠🐨🦘🐑🐕😋🍲🏙️❤️

Really you're lovely I will come

Gorgeous place, absolutely stunning place to live, work and explore and amazing people, but disgustingly hot, like debilitatingly hot, after 10 years I had enough & left, It’s possibly one of the most grotesque climates in Australia, the heat just never stops for 7 months of the year, but I still love that city - you filthy hot piece of s***!

My name is Steph Wardle

Hey quick Question = Samsung or Apple?? 😂

You are so beautiful

love the video
