Tourism in Brisbane / Australia

Brisbane was the last stopping point for tourists heading to the Great Barrier Reef or the beaches in the Gold Coast, but that city has become a point of the eastern Australian tourist attraction in itself.
 
After finally returning to the city where I grew up and left it 15 years ago to live and work in the city of Sydney with a fast paced, I could not identify. No longer a major regional city, the capital of Queensland state, but the fastest growing cities. And crowded with cafés and shops should not forget the Gallery of Modern Art, which makes you spend several days in the city to explore

The city was known in the past as Bresfegas (because of the casinos and night life in the eighties), and the Brisbane River divides the city, which makes his way to the Gulf of Morton, passing through the wool stores which turned into luxury apartments, and historic homes are built on poles. The former power plant turned on the edge of the Gulf to the art center. And the latest tourist attractions is the Gallery of Modern Art and Technical Exhibition Queensland who was re-renovated, next to the Gallery of Modern Art on the last corner of the river on Stanley Place South Bank in the gardens.

At that time over millions of Americans across the city quiet a lot of people think they will change after the war. Instead, it almost closed the city center following a drop in the number of people moved to live in the suburbs
