Brisbane Observations
I spent Easter weekend in Brisbane. It’s terribly unfashionable to admit to having fun in your hometown, but I did. So There.
Things I like about Brisbane:
It’s relaxed within a day of getting off the plane I’ve lost all the stress in my shoulders – which is un-shiftable in Sydney.
It’s pretty lots of river bends and small hills mean that you’re constantly coming upon little vistas with trees and some water. My company’s office balcony looks over a bend in the river and at dusk you’ve got about 200 degrees of fantastic sunset over leafy hills. Oh, that’s right: clouds! I love clouds.
Lots of my oldest friends The whole week I get handed from friend to friend all focussed on sharing what we’ve been up to and being together. That’s a change 
Things I don’t like about Brisbane:
The gay scene It’s tiny, the music is almost all crap (except for my significant ex Keith’s nights which are fantastic). The drag shows are twice as long as I’m prepared to bear. Having said that, the numbers are mostly from the early 70s, so at least it seems like they’re rehearsing a cultural tradition. Just about all mime-drag shits me to tears, but I’d rather listen to a good Monroe number than the latest crap from J.Lo…
Brisbane: nine hats… and the crow flies backwards
Popularity: unranked [?]
