24 HOURS IN BRISBANE // Queensland, Australia

A good walking/boat loop to do in Brisbane if you're short on time! After only 24 hours, I really loved the city and its mixture of old and new.

Didn't have any expectations, but Brisbane ended up being my favorite city in Australia!

[@PlantVisionz]

thank you for loving and showing more people why brisbane is such a fun place to visit...it is one unique River city.

[@Ricadamu]

As a Brissy local it's so funny to see someone explore parts of the city I've seen dozens of times before. Next time go rock climbing at kangaroo point at night.

[@mari.johnson]

+Adam Cox (Creatura) ooh that sounds like fun!

[@mmmmmmmmmmm10]

I agree, I can't understand why tourists would find Brisbane interesting, having lived here for 30 years.

[@oceaneleven537]

well, a tourist only visit Brisbane one time, and your living there 30 years, that would made a big difference

[@OfficialArulSmurfz]

Michael C hey man, so I'm gonna move to Australia on July this year. It's either Melbourne or Brisbane. What do you think?

[@oceaneleven537]

Damien Sykes i would recommend Melbourne, one of the most livable city on earth.

[@brentbaker7327]

If anyone goes to Brisbane please check out the westend, it’s just behind Southbank. Great place to chill

[@thisisgenofeve]

❤️❤️❤️south bank! I got married there. It's nice to see Brisbane from a tourist perspective.

[@smokeandquills]

Cool to see it. I've been to the Gold Coast in Qld so many times but have never been to Brisbane. Definitely not as touristy as Surfers Paradise/Broadbeach on the Gold Coast but it looks like a great city so I'll have to check it out next time I'm up there!

[@exploreaustralia6577]

Very beautiful Brisbane

[@A-Oreal]

Another adventure for the Capt.! Brisbane looks really nice...tourist attraction!👌👌

[@rosellaspenguins1038]

I'm going to Brisbane now I'm so excited

[@theadventurjess]

I can't believe I'll be checking Brisbane out myself in a few weeks! So cool!

[@mari.johnson]

+Jessica Gable woohoo!!

[@browniefam5738]

It's awesome

[@Tom-dv2pt]

I miss there, i was a international student and studied there for 3 years. Very love this city , gold coast , south bank, Mt. Gravatt. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@hesterhf]

Love your videos! you seem more humble and chilled out than a lot of you-tubers which is so refreshing (idk some of them tend to be a bit self-centred and a bit too high energy!) But equally you have such enthusiasm and optimism which is super inspiring.. Thanks for the great content :)

[@mari.johnson]

Aw cheers Hester! Means a lot :) All the best xx

[@SteveMack]

Glad you liked my city :)

Good review for just 24 hours. Please come back again girls, so much more to see !

[@RGC198]

Excellent video. My dad and I flew to Brisbane from Sydney way back in August 1973. This the only time I have been to Brisbane. Also, saw Nambour and Surfers Paradise while there. Brisbane ferry rides are free now? Wow! We had to pay when we were there.

[@joyneeson4857]

Hi Mari, I live about 45 mins out of the centre of Brisbane and I enjoyed seeing how you spent 24 hours in Brisbane. I did not know there was a FREE ferry service! That's great. I'm going to share this with our rellies in Ireland. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday. Come again! :-)

[@mari.johnson]

Thanks Joy!

[@shayshayabedin]

[@JJ-jw9ec]

[@yourneighbourhood]

Thank you for such a great video of Brisbane, as a resident it is great to get a different perspective!

[@mari.johnson]

+Your Neighbourhood Glad to hear I did it justice! You have a great city there!

[@JMMT7022801]

Those ferries are so much nicer than the ones I've been on in San Diego and San Francisco.

[@zachm8235]

That was the free ferry, the ones u pay for look much nicer and newer

[@rachelandnick]

I love the man made beach in Southbank. Such a relaxed and beautiful place. One of my favourite reasons that i visit Brisbane. :-D

[@mari.johnson]

+The Drunken Bear Yeah it was so cool! Way bigger and better than I would have expected!

[@mari.johnson]

[@cityofmicrovideos7147]

Brisbane is a wonderful city!

[@siggyrockstv]

Great vlog 🤗 That's so cool how that pool is in the middle of the city. Cheers to margaritas ❤️

[@mari.johnson]

+Siggy Yoseth Cheers Siggy!

[@DaveFloatzelloverSimon]

i dare you to come to ipswich next time you are here in queensland

[@annebiem]

Enjoyed watching again!

[@zachm8235]

I love Brisbane! I've lived there for most of my life and I'm glad you liked it, u have gotta spend more than 24 hours there tho, there's too much to do! 🌉🌃🏙

[@WovenSpade]

you shouldve gone to the aussie sweet shop its right behind the place you were at when you were looking out at the pool and drinking

[@ethanblumson9866]

My childhood is in that shop lmao

[@simonelamb4497]

looks awesome. cant wait to see it materialize

[@kmac3040]

10K subs in January almost 14K now Your channel is growing fast Well deserved ! Hope New Zealand is off to a great start !

[@mari.johnson]

+K Mac Aw thanks K Mac!

[@softpearls21]

loved the video it was so fun had me laughing love you guys

[@mari.johnson]

+Rachel.(AkA Pebbles) haha love hearing that!

[@kalliste01]

You're making me want to check out Brisbane! I haven't been in a long time (and never as an adult) and the mention of a good mix of new and old interests me. I love that about Melbourne so would be interested in seeing how it compares with Brisbane. That free pool looks great too! I am guessing (heat wise) March is probably a decent time to visit too.

[@mari.johnson]

+Kalliste You should definitely go! Even though they're both cities on rivers, it has a different vibe than Melbourne - worth checking out!

[@visaandtravel3609]

Hi I like ur video that is very informative and knowledgeable base .really like this .thanks

[@joycesoon3149]

the ferry is free? and the pool? wow

[@lostwithashley830]

Pad Thai and Panang Curry are my favorite!

[@RGC198]

Brisbane had a tram system like Melbourne until it closed in 1969.

[@elphasmokoena4390]

Wooow i come across ya channel amazing i start travel as wel👌👌👌

[@joebrown7951]

looks like a really cool place.😃

[@madelynholroyd6972]

I live in brisbane and the place you were walking through is called southbank and ive been excatly where you were.....im lucky to live near the city and ive been swimming in that pool.....AND ive been on that ferris wheel....its the 7 news ferris wheel.......and ive been over those bridges ...........and on that ferry and that big brisbane sign.....and if you walked pass a hostipal than its proply the one that i was born in...its called the marta hostipal

[@aihivaki9281]

Beautiful indeed..

[@jaymckay4086]

Hey Mari, I plan on traveling soon....gottta get away ya know! Ive been to Cancun, Jamaica...where should I go for under 4 grand? Thanks love the videos, by the way

[@nataliedecent9665]

Nice video, Brisbane is a nice clean city but so boring lived here for 10 years. We've seen it grow over the years though!

[@trick_treat]

all the time!

[@shuuzipuuzi]

Do you have more fun traveling on your own or with people? Thanks for your videos! xoxo

[@mari.johnson]

+Shuu L. I like both! Just depends on the situation. :)

[@mari.johnson]

+Shuu L. I like both! Just depends on the situation. :)

[@shannonwhowanders664]

Waah I'm so happy you went to Brisbane! I'm a local and I feel like a lot of other travellers miss out on some of its charms. It's so surreal seeing the city through your eyes (or camera lens haha) - what did you think of Ahmet's as a born-again meat-eater? Oh! And what was your favourite place?

[@mari.johnson]

+OhHeyShannon Aw cool! I really loved the free ferry and the pool area best I think. But it was all very beautiful - wish I'd been able to see more! Oh and I don't think I had any meat that night actually, but the veggies were good!

[@jawadvlog86]

Great video I subbed

[@arthurbarbosa5825]

I either have to choose between going to Melbourne or Brisbane to go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef . What do you guys suggest??

[@ewrussia]

Arthur 94 w

[@oceaneleven537]

Melbourne is a livable city, nice city. i went during their winter in july. nice weather sometimes chilly.

[@lillbill7734]

you cant get to the great barrier reef from either. you need to go to cairns if you want to see the reef. but brisbane has better beaches than melborne. hope that helps

[@ethanblumson9866]

Melbourne - coming from a brisbane resident

[@lorenzomagazzeni5425]

@Arthur Melbourne is a GREAT CITY, but can be depressing due to the weather impredictable - At least in Melbourne at the Museum you can see a stuffed cha,pion horse ! Big deal. Phar Lap I guess. The food is great anywhere/

[@Marcoshary]

Seems like a nice city.

[@dalalala21]

YO MY DAD WORKS ON EAGLE STREET AND WE ALWAYS GO TO THE EAGLE STREET PIER ON THE WEEKENDS!

[@graceolivia6805]

U should've gone to That Thai on racecourse rd. Best food I've EVER eaten!

[@withdan2000]

Nice video!

[@mari.johnson]

I use the canon g7x - here's my review! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWbMh5-On9Nnr9k

[@partizanek]

hi, I have a question, I see you took the airplane Jetstar to Brisbane, isn't Tigerair the cheapest way to fly between Australian cities ? What made you chose Jetstar ? Do they have a better service ?

[@mari.johnson]

Jetstar was the cheapest :)

[@YouminAn]

Miss living there

[@geraldiner2527]

Jordan Shackelford More the merrier XD

[@brisdaz]

I think there's a working holiday visa for americans now. Do a google search.

[@ethanblumson9866]

Lmao dont to move to brisbane its boring and dodgy af especially zillmere and fortitude valley

[@wefukthenwo]

@@ethanblumson9866 So you don't want Americans here in Brisbane then? San Francisco is as dodgy as it can get, and it aint boring.

[@hayeunkim3127]

[@szissou4622]

No wife, no kids, no debt/mortgage. Well thats my *Not a Big Secret...

[@henryfranqui3634]

+S Zissou.... same here...

[@mari.johnson]

+Henry Franqui I saved up money beforehand and I've been working too! And since I don't have a permanent home at the moment, I don't have really any bills to pay.

[@henryfranqui3634]

+Mari Johnson thank you.. nice....

[@kalliste01]

+Henry Franqui Plus (and I'm not saying you don't) you'll notice Mari stays in backpackers or hostels most of the time which are much cheaper than hotels. She also takes cheaper transport where available (the bus for example over flying). Some of her videos also mention that the activities she does are paid for in return for the video (which sounds like a great trade to me!).

[@BlowmeRoger]

get in quick before everything closes down and you spend your hours between an office,mc donalds and your house...just like a local...bloody terrible how crap it is compared to even 20 years ago

[@joyempire462]

I live in Queensland and i have no idea what you're talking about, could you please explain?

[@lorenzomagazzeni5425]

In jail they would... Errata corrige

[@ethanblumson9866]

Brisbane is pretty boring - a brisbaner

[@shabari544]

I have to agree with you. - A brisbaner

[@wefukthenwo]

Even New York get's boring after a while, just like most cities will compel you to look for something different.

[@1000rami1000]

Every city in the world can get boring. Does Brisbane have work opportunities?

[@timpanda4820]

I live half way between Brisbane and the gold coast, i avoid Brisbane nothing worth talking about there

[@rachrex]

Tim Panda so you live in Logan or Beenleigh? Lol okay

[@Yulowirri]

Brisbane river is,where Aboriginal people killed thrown into the river at South Bank, Boundary road around West End was the Actual boundary for black people not to cross over, or be killed and thrown in the river, the Aboriginal people called the land "Yaggera" on the south side of the river and Turrabul on the North, peace out.

[@125sloth]

24 hours in Brisbane is more than enough for anyone. What a backward dive it is. Crime, violence, traffic jams, over priced public transport which is unreliable, and drivers who appear to never have been taught how to actually drive, just shown how to obtain a licence.

[@ASKWITH100]

Butt Fuck central.

[@hcxwj]

The only shady parts in the entire city is like the alleyways in fortitude valley, tf are you on about?

[@itssugarfree]

Are you sure you went to Brisbane - Australia? I

[@Patzenviking1993]

must be from the sticks lol
