Australia's third-largest city feels no need to toot its own horn. While other capitals try to reach top billing in the status stakes, Brisbane quietly executes its evolution in true, casual Queensland style. It feels no need to showoff its virtues - locals know how good they've got it.
Brisbane is a big-city package but the pretensions are refreshingly absent. The city centre sits within a tropical landscape while cooling its toes in the undulating Brisbane River, and it boasts a climate that lures pale and chilly southerners by the truckload.
