Brisbane - Gateway to Queensland and Australia

Brisbane is my home city - with its CityCat, City Lagoon, Cultural Centre and famous Story Bridge. Brisbane City is one hour's drive from the Gold Coast, 45 minutes from Rainforests and is nestled on the banks of the Brisbane River. I live 20 minutes by ferry from the City heart.

My Life in Brisbane 

I have lived in Brisbane since 1950. I even remember as a child walking along Coronation Drive by the river to go into the City of Brisbane to see the one Black & White TV in Myer's Department Store window.

I have lived in the Western suburbs (Taringa, Torwood, Ashgrove) and Southern suburbs (Coorparoo & Bulimba). We have lived in Bulimba in the same house since 1983 and have totally renovated it. I am now a member of the Morningsong Community Choir, Bulimba.

My Morning Walk in Bulimba, Brisbane 

My morning walk takes me along the Brisbane River, past Bulimba Memorial Park and along Oxford Street, the theater and restaurant center of Bulimba.

The walk with its river views and accompanying sounds of birds, provides a great opportunity to think about my day and plan my activities.

I have even written an article about this which I published under the title, Walk on the Bright Side to Grow Your Internet Business.

    Nice views of Brisbane Ron. Some of the scenes remind me of southern California. Looks like a nice place to live. Cinco stars!
