Located in southeast Queensland along
the twists and turns of the Brisbane River Brisbane is Queensland's capital city
and home to around two and a half million people which includes Matt and me
now it is a great hub for amazing food there's plenty of good local produce
to try we have some great craft beers and wines there's plenty of
cultural experiences and outdoor activities now typically Brisbane boasts
some beautiful sunny days today's a bit overcast but that is not going to stop
us so let's get out there and have some fun
(music)
Our first stop is here in West End on Vulture Street at a place called Miss Bliss
Now this place is known for its acai bowls which are my favourite one of my favourite
things to have for breakfast but they also do your classic hot favourites too
So Matt's got some scrambled eggs there I've got a coconut milk latte
It's quite busy and quite noisy along this main street, but it's a really great place to start the day
So let's dig in and give this a try
Yum, this is my dream, look at all that good Queensland fruit!
That's really good
(music)
West End is one of Brisbane's more quirky bohemian neighbourhoods
and it is a favourite among students I know when I was younger I really really
wanted to live here now if you come here you want to visit along Boundary street
there's some great rooftop spots and plenty of good places to try amazing
local food but there are also some amazing markets too, you've got the
Boundary Street markets which happen every week and the Davies Park Markets
which go down every Saturday at Davies Park
pop now next up is here at Lone Pine
Koala Sanctuary now this place is actually really close to Brisbane CBD
it's a short maybe 20-minute drive so you could definitely catch an uber to
get out here and it is the perfect spot to see some of our local Australian
wildlife without having to venture too far let's go inside and have a look around
(music)
Presenter: Now all the birds that you'll be seeing they are Australian Birds of Prey, here at Lone Pine
we do not apply we just got the free flight wrap to show and it was so
good it's so great to get up close to those kinds of house and the big wedge
tailed eagle and be able to see just how big they are right up close and they are
just stunning and the guys who run show knows so much about them - sorry even me
as a local I getting such a deeper understanding of it do come to lone pine
and make sure you catch that but now I want to go and see the sheep dog show
let's go man
we're in the open and feeding area for kangaroos and look at this beautiful
lady now I don't know if you guys can see her belly here but you might just
have to notice some funny little shape hanging out of her pouch and that will
actually be her beautiful baby Joey which I am really hoping to get
a glimpse of but this lovely lady is so gentle I've got some Roo food I picked up
from the general store but she's had enough food I think she's just keen for
a little ear scratch and maybe just some positive affirmations about how
beautiful you are Queen
- they have a big focus on conservation education and research so you can see
that in places like this repeating area for example they have spots they can go
to get away from humans when they've had enough you know in different parts of
the exhibits we've got information about the greening cycles they're trying to
help animals that have been injured and need their support you know that they
can't drive in the wild that kind of thing and there are lots of school
groups here too so it's really cool to see you look for the little ones
learning about just how important out floor and go no really ah you have been
working out this is my favorite area we visited so far this is the koala forest
we're really close to the koalas but of course a safe distance away we're not
intervening with them on what they're doing and they are such beautiful
animals either my heart just swells with Aussie pride when they see them I just
love them so very much now koalas like these ones they are gonna feast on those
eucalyptus trees with beautiful leaves that the guys here at lone pine and put
out for them I just saw them bring them out fresh and these koalas were just
jumping on the misssara happy and healthy
and then go sleep for roughly around 20 hours a day same they're really living
the dream of it our next stop is here at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens nestled
at the foothills of Mount croutha and we're starting in the tropical dire it's
really hot and humid in here and there are loads of tropical plants
absolutely beautiful at 287 metres above sea level man CUDA where we're standing
right now is the highest peak in Brisbane forming part of the Tayla range
now before settlement it was wounds the yagura' people who
would come up to man couplet to collect honey and the named man crew that
actually means honey Mountain nowadays it's just a really great viewpoint and
they've got this summit cafe up there seat and grab a bite to eat and a drink
and enjoy those million-dollar views and it really is the place to come with the
sunrise or sunset
our last stop is here in Paddington Kingston is one of prisons was the
musical suburbs who bought money of rolling mills and historic Queensland
arms started all along
an area where it comes alive with a Jacaranda it's just stunning
with you guys I'm starting so we have come to yogi and yogi brothers not I've
been coming in is they just have great food and it's really well for ice
look at this yogi my mouth is wandering so I've got the spicy tomato black well
they're not based version and it looks amazing it smells so good
it's really good it's really nice and spicy
they can premium rich from those gnocchi oh cool perfectly nice and a little bit
chewy to the turd but so soft and pillowy yes good morning
you guys it is a beautiful day today this one of those classic Brisbane days
it's lovely and warm skies are blue pops of white clouds everywhere so we're
gonna go and get a cold drink and we're gonna head right in here behind me to do
vampire
new father is also one of brisbin's really trendy suburbs if you walk around
the area there's so many amazing cafes to grab something to eat and some really
cool boutiques and shops you can check out there are some great art galleries
too and it's actually one of brisbin's all the suburbs was founded in 1827 by
Patrick Logan when he founded an actual bob yeah it is one of brisbin's oldest
grandest and largest parks is very popular on the weekends as you can see
now if you do come here in a weekend we are here on a Sunday okay but if you
come here on a Saturday you want to check out the jams palace markets they
go down from about 6:00 a.m. at through midday every Saturday and that's where
you can pick up some gorgeous local fresh produce and nibblies and then come
over here for a little bit of a picnic by the water
sitting right next to New Farm Park is the Brisbane powerhouse and arts and
cultural hub located right inside an old you guessed it power station then you
guys this is gonna be the perfect spot for all these kind of cultural events
visual arts contemporary arts festivals and there are loads of free community
events of to don't let the street
the Jane Street precinct is definitely one of brisbin's upmarket neighborhoods
with a curated mix of over a hundred and thirty specialty stores including art
galleries design showrooms winning restaurants fashion boutiques
cafés bars and more there is plenty to see and do yes you
could easily spend an hour or two strolling around checking out all those
great spots and grabbing something to eat but my favorite reason to come here
is a little flame school just provisions
the best things like sour cream cakes and just things that just make your
mouth water
I'm just gonna go all in this could be way I was gonna bite into it and then I
have this image of that being on the internet forever

Brisbane City which is why is the perfect spot the sunset so if you love

photographs it's also a hub of activities so you can do things like
climb that clips themselves you can rappel down them the river life gang
wearing a halt run a whole bunch of your beside activities so you can go stand-up
paddleboarding or kayaking in the river if you want to I would to say any of
those activities do not plan them for the middle of the day or you guys you
will burn you will get heatstroke and you will have a sad time and that will
make me sad because I want you to love Brisbane as much as either
