In its early stages the city grew as the agricultural
and mining industries grew, until it eventually developed into
the cultural and cafe filled city that it is today. It is also
the third largest city in Australia with a population of about
1.6 million.

Brisbane is a great place to cycle, with
wonderful tracks near and along the river. If you get tired
along the way you can always hop on a bus or the City Cat
(avoiding rush hour when you won't be allowed on).
