A really nice city - a great place to live once I settle down?
Brisbane would be a great city for an active person who wants to settle down, and wants to enjoy the outdoors in a warmer climate. For hiking and camping, you can visit the nearby mountains or barrier islands, not to mention the Gold Coast beaches. There's are plenty of restaurants and nightlife, and even a beach and rock climbing cliffs in the middle of downtown Brisbane! You really wouldn't have to travel far to live a good lifestyle here.
