(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 24, 2009 ) Brisbane continues to be one of the most popular cities with both Australians and international migrants, boasting a strong work and play ethic, miles of stunning coastline and a climate to die forÂ…
What’s not to like – Brisbane’s subtropical climate means that the city is suspended in permanent summer, boasting an average of 243 days of sunshine each year and winter temperatures rarely falling below 17 degrees centigrade.
Sandwiched between the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane is well known for its proximity to Australia's most popular coastlines and the Great Barrier Reef.
For many, the Queensland capital embodies the dream of living in Australia, offering a relaxed yet vibrant lifestyle. One of the fastest growing Australian cities, Brisbane is currently home to around two million people and this is on the rise as migrants flock to the city from all over Australia and from overseas.
Best described as a subtropical metropolis, Brisbane boasts art galleries, botanical gardens, a wealth of restaurants, bars and nightclubs and a world class arts and culture scene.
Whilst BrisbaneÂ’s tropical climate may be a dream come true for some, others may find the humidity hard to bear.
Brisbane is a city that prides itself on being green – many woodland tracks wind around the city and are often frequented by running and biking enthusiasts.
Brisbane residents also have a strong work ethic - the city is a busy commercial hub in which most of the major Australian companies and many large international ones have a presence.
The city's reputation for employment opportunities – in addition to a high quality of life in the sun – seems to be attracting the attention of people throughout Australia and worldwide as well.
A recent survey found more Australians would prefer to work in Brisbane, if they had the choice, than anywhere else in Australia.
We haven’t forgotten the classic Aussie attributes either - Brisbane is within easy reach of miles of stunning coastline – guaranteed to make surfers and water sports enthusiasts very happy indeed.
