Lifestyle

'A visit to an international modern art exhibition in the morning, lunch at a 5 star restaurant at noon, and shopping at the biggest names in the fashion world in the afternoon...'

You’re living it up in Brisbane! - A city that has grown from a regional hub on the Brisbane River to one of the most popular and vibrant cities in Australia.

For shopaholics there’s the heritage listed arcades and 700 specialty stores of the Queen Street Mall. Unique and funky shopping precincts can also be found in the bustling urban villages that ring the beautiful city centre.

Gourmet connoisseurs will adore the fresh contemporary restaurants of the city and the local award-winning wine from the nearby Scenic Rim.

For culture-vultures a trip to the south side of the river is a must. There you can indulge in magnificent food and coffee, catch an award-winning show or soak up some sophistication at a world-class art gallery or museum.

And if you like your music loud and live, groove the night away at a hip bar or funky club at one of the city’s thriving entertainment precincts.

Industry

Brisbane's economy has white-collar and blue-collar industries. White-collar industries include information technology, financial services, higher education and public sector administration generally concentrated in and around the central business district and recently established office areas in the inner suburbs.

Blue-collar industries, including petroleum refining, stevedoring, paper milling, metalworking and QR railway workshops, tend to be located on the lower reaches of the Brisbane River and in new industrial zones on the urban fringe. Tourism is an important part of the Brisbane economy, both in its own right and as a gateway to other areas of Queensland.

The Port of Brisbane is on the lower reaches of the Brisbane River and on Fisherman's Island at the rivers mouth, and is the 3rd most important port in Australia for value of goods. Container freight, sugar, grain, coal and bulk liquids are the major exports. Most of the port facilities are less than three decades old and some are built on reclaimed mangroves and wetlands.
