Bris-Vegas!


Ah Brisbane! Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland, and the closest metropolis to the Gold Coast. A visit to Brisbane is a must for every tourist to the Gold Coast. As the only capital city without an oceanfront beach, Brisbane created Streets Beach right off the river that runs through it. It contains the Queen St. Mall which is an absolutely gorgeous outdoor shopping center. Town Hall and the botanical gardens are other popular attractions. Most importantly, however, Brisbane is home to the Brisbane Broncos and the Queensland Reds of Rugby fame. Catching a rugby game is a must for every tourist. As violent as American football may seem, it pales in comparison to the ferocity of Australian rugby, and that is truly a sight to see.
