The FAQ ·
Where the tunnels are being dug, and it doesn't get cold, and every other thread now seems to get trolled. Where the river is brown and the traffic is tight and police will tase you if you're looking to fight.
Where George St holds the state's people of power and brothels are plentiful and charge by the hour. Where the dust settles for an Eastern coast rest and parking in the city is a hell of a test.
Where buses and bikes rule with a cold, iron fist and trains may as well not have a time-list. Where there's lockouts in clubs that cause more strain and hundreds of drunken louts stuck out in the rain.
Despite all its flaws, the fact does remain it's an awesome city, and is far from being lame.
Beautiful Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland. Please please please don't swim in the river.

Hey guys, in Brisbane for a week and would like to rent an electric car at a reasonable price.
Can you please share where and how would be the best way to go about it and if there are any tips and tricks?
Thank you
Down the Bowlo or at the Vic or the fucking Brekky or something left field I'm open to some ideas mates. Where do middle aged people like a few beers and smashing some lines?
Long story short. My parents are thinking of buying into this block sometime. They always have admired it. I am somewhat worried as I think it may become a huge headache owning in the future, due to a lot of reasons. I wanted to know if anyone on this sub has any experience or knows anything about this building?
My GPU stopped working recently and just seeing if anyone here know of any repair shops that would fix a 6800XT.
Hello Brisbanites! My partner and I are interested in joining a board game club, and/or even a RPG club.
At the grand age of 34 I’ve discovered I love board games, and have long yearned to try role play games, but have never really known where to start/always been a bit nervous. I/we have minimal experience but are keen and eager to learn.
Prefer close to the CBD but am willing to travel up to 45 mins away. Any pointers would be most appreciated - I truly have no idea where to start.
Thanking you!
Title^
Any alternative locations close by QLD? No Mount Coo Tha pls 😭😂. Appreciate actually helpful response hehe.
Cheers.
I am a thin guy looking for a looser cut suit with straight legs and a high waist. I've had no luck finding anything on the Gold Coast. Things are still very tight and lowrise at all the mainstream shops. Are there any stores in Brisbane that are more on the ball fashion-wise? Used or new.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Chasing recs for hotels in and around Brissy or Redcliffe with indoor heated pool. Spa and sauna a bonus. Cheers
Trying to determine best area for first home purchase. We like Forest Lake but I know the statistic of a break in would be very high with insurance premiums exxy. Daisy Hill a bit higher in price range but better blocks and access to motorway. Interested to hear from you if you’ve made the move from Brisbane to the Daisy Hill/Shailer Park area. TIA
Hello all - I’m reasonably new to Brisbane, having lived up on the Sunshine Coast for a long time. I am hosting a live murder solving ‘dinner party’ which requires seating and preferably food and drink is allowed. The game requires sound components and music to be played.
I’ve got 13 people, and it’ll run for 4 hours from 6:00pm to 10:00pm, though this could be moved forward to 5:00pm to 9:00pm.
I’ve tried to look around online but when I search for venues, they’re all for large events and want you to send an enquiry! I was curious if anyone’s ran something like this and if so, where did you run it, how much was cost, etc? Or does anyone have any venue suggestions? Thank you for any assistance, it is much appreciated!
Any decent sports bars/pubs that show the footy? Having a hard time finding somewhere showing Brisbane v crows
Wanting to find a personal trainer that can do 1-2 sessions a week and can plan my diet as well. Budget is 80-100 per week. Does anyone know of good places in brisbane that can do this, with a proven track record? Aim is to look good - gain muscle & lose fat
I like to stay out late. A 10am check-out is way too early for me. Even a late check-out of around 12 is a bit early for what I want to do.
About a year ago I found that the Ibis Styles in Brisbane city has a 5pm late check-out option for around an extra $70 (by booking through Accor Live, I believe).
I am looking for other Brisbane hotels that offer a guaranteed late check-out by paying a bit extra. A lot of hotels say that they offer late check-out, but they only do so if they don't have someone else checking into the same room the next day, and can only tell you upon check-in. I need guaranteed late checkout and to know when I book.
Any suggestions?
Anyone with inside info on what happened in Stanley St Strathpine today? Police cordoned off road with ambos, riot squad firetruck in attendance etc. No PSPA declared and no news reports. Facebook rumourmill said mental health issue man threatening his kids.
Hey r/Brisbane, we are current students at Griffith film school, making our Graduate film titled "The Pill”. We’re in pre-production for our principle photography shooting between the 3rd and 10th of June and we are currently chasing a film-friendly household to shoot in during this period!
Ideally we are looking for a large house with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms but we’re open to many possibilities! If you know of someone interested or live in a household keen on supporting young local filmmakers, please reach out to our producer at himanhotchandani@gmail.com / 0406994581 or shoot me a message.
Thank you!!
Hi I need a gardener in the Mt Ommaney/Middle Park area.
Doing a simple google search quickly becomes overwhelming and I don't know what costs I should be expecting.
I need the lawn mowed, some weeds killed, and a hedge trimmed.
Does anyone have any recommendations they could send my way
Thanks in advance :)
Hey all, I’m looking to undertake a 6 month course in individual support (support work) through TAFE. I’m essentialy living the same distance between the 2 campus’ (Kenmore) - so with that being the case, does anyone have any idea which is a higher quality campus that hopefully attracts better teaching staff/cohort.
I’m not expecting Harvard over here, just wondering if anyone has experience with both campus’s or are in the know to recommend one over the other.
Thanks in advance!
Did anyone near Brisbane area get a good look at the aurora last night? If you did please share good locations.
I'm tempted to drive further out from the city for a final chance to get a glimpse of the aurora since yesterday was all cloudy. Anyone know where the best places to go to are, is it even visible in our state?
Hi all,
I recently had a bit of trouble on Saturday night, however I knew it wasn't serious enough to go to emergency, and if I did go, I knew id be waiting for 10 hrs.
Does anyone know of any decent phone medical consultation services (happy to pay)?

Has anyone had this happen to them before? What can the police do to help? Any help would be appreciated:)
Hi all, my mum's heading to NZ in a week and wants to change some cash over to NZD (I know, 0 fee cards are a better option, but she's old school). Can someone recommend a money changer that doesn't rip you off?
Thanks
Went to the The Greater Springfield Community Festival and it was pretty good. Great food and people, would go again. I noticed that is was a predominately Indian festival which I was not expecting. Does Springfield have a large Indian population? I've been around here for a bit and haven't seen a lot when shopping, going to/from work, dining out

My wife took our kids to Chermside yesterday for some shopping. This morning front tyre of car was flat with one screw in tyre and another on the ground in same line as tyre path. Asked the kids if they had been playing with screws and they hadn’t (they’re mostly honest but could be lying). Anyone else experienced flat tyre after being at Chermside? Just wondering if some kids are operating there.
Hello, I’m visiting your city soon for the first time for work and hoping to get in a few morning/evening runs along the Riverwalk track.
Is this track well lit and safe after dark and before sunrise?
