Brisbane Weather

Brisbane is known for having a slightly cooler inland climate. If you’re moving to Australia from a country such as the UK, you may find this easier to adapt and acclimatise to. That said, the city doesn’t really have a ‘winter’ in the British sense of the word!

Best Beaches in Brisbane

Brisbane is located on the eponymous river and is around 15km from the Pacific Ocean. There’s also a man-made beach which is situated at South Bank Parklands. The city boasts easy access to both the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, a fact which draws many tourists to the city.

Brisbane Suburbs

If you want to save money on accommodation costs, you may consider taking up residence in one of Brisbane’s five suburban districts. As well as having more of a relaxed suburban atmosphere, these districts also have what feels like more of a community spirit compared to the city centre. The only drawback is that you may have to spend time and money commuting if you work in the CBD, but your rent would be lower.

Living in Brisbane

Contemporary, clean and relatively compact, Brisbane is a fine place to call home. It actually has the distinction of earning the 20th spot on the Economist’s Intelligence Unit’s 2014 Liveability Survey, 31 places ahead of London!
