Brisbane A fairly average kind of place. More of a large country town than a city. Lots of inbreds wandering about. I stayed at the Palace backpackers is good for a pissup. It is situated above a place called the down under bar,which is frequented by drunken students and backpackers.
Beer is cheap and cheerful.
You cannot fail to pick up here. Noosa A very pleasant coastal town. If you're into surfing this is the last place along the coast where there are good waves, coz after that the barrier reefs kicks in and the waves break off the shore. Another pleasant coastal town. From here you can do a 4x4 trip to Fraser Island.
