What is the name of the city, town or village where you live?
Brisbane

Why do you live there?
My parents and girlfriend are my major considerations. Other than that, it’s a faily peaceful town with few problems relating to crime or poverty.

What cultural opportunities do you have?
I have opportunities but don’t engage with the creative areas around town. There are a lot of ‘cool’ people who are all steam. I just like to do my own thing. We have museums & art galleries here for people who choose to go in that direction though.

What recreational opportunities do you have?
We have a lot of parks. There are also islands off the mainland that are great for chilling on. We also have surf beaches and rainforests an hour from town.

What do you like about it?
Its laid-back atmosphere. The weather is lovely. People are generally friendly.

What do you hate about it?
It’s a bit of an over-sized country town. If you want a career, get out of the place. It used to be a very conservative place, but has lightened up in the last ten years or so.

What qualities really stand out? (good or bad)
The slower paced lifestyle is great. I’ve travelled a bit and the bigger the city, the bigger the attitude. I don’t need attitude.

Would you recommend it, and why?
I don’t know if I’d recommend it as such. It’s a good place to live. You could do a lot worse.

If I were to move there, what would I really need to know?
The Great Barrier Reef is 2000 kilometres to the north We drive on the left-hand side of the road.

How is it different from other places you have been?
It’s cleaner and the weather is better.
