Bad in NZ or hyperbole ?

    Why Brisbane? I was there once. It was hot and muggy and generally unpleasant. I don’t remember having a great meal there, I don’t remember seeing anything particularly spectacular. Just seemed like a hut and muggy city.

    Melbourne OTOH was dynamic and fun and had spectacular food.

      But Brisbane at least has the Felon’s Brewery right under that bridge. Really nice location that.

        I didn’t get a chance to visit that brewery. In fact the only brewery I visited in Australia was the little creatures in Fremantle which was in a large building like a warehouse. Good beer, good food but not a place you go for some peace and quiet that’s for sure.

          Haha, I believe Felon’s was the only brewery I visited that wasn’t part of my job. It’s a small brewery and they only sell their beer on tap at that location. And they’re doing really well. The view from their deck is phenomenal and the atmosphere is really good.

      Seems a fair summary.

      Gold Coast (east of the M1 at least) has the beaches and rainforest in the mountains to at least.compensate. I lived and owns an apartment on the ocean there for a few years, as I couldn’t afford NZ, lots of Kiwi’s there as well.
