I'm not used to seeing my city look so aesthetic. Especially Coro Drive lol. Also there's a lime across the street from my house right now so I think they're still legal!

Thank you for featuring BRISBANE! I love my city. I have been living here since I arrived in Australia 🇦🇺

[@scottmorrison466]

Two weeks ago.

[@ersguterjule]

I'm from Germany but I've been to Brisbane several times and have lived here now for almost a year. I absolutely love it and i really think it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I appreciate my own hometown and miss it sometimes, cause it's a beautiful place right at the border to Switzerland and Austria at a giant lake. But still, Brissie stole my heart haha. I'm glad you can see it's beauty know aswell :)

Why what the Hell.

lived in North Brisbane my whole life, probably will stay here too. But I really want to see Europe someday.

[@Eedama96]

You never see these kinds of videos of Brisbane, it looks so pretty. Love seeing a view and going "Oh! That's where I work" haha

[@mackenzief3764]

I’ve never seen this city presented in such a beautiful, caring light. A few months or so ago I stopped on the walking bridge as the sun was setting and just looked out over the river for almost an hour, mesmerised by the movements of the cars and the clouds and the ferries. This video made me feel the same way as I did that night, so thank you for sharing it and allowing others to appreciate that same overlooked beauty.

[@goola3915]

5:34 is my cousin playing the didgeridoo 🤦🏽‍♀️ did not expect seeing him in my KZbin binge 😂

[@piero394]

Good video and nice editing, But there are much more to Brissy, West End life, Fortitude Valley, Kangaroo Point parks and cliff, Padington and bars and cafe's in Tennerif and New Farm and etc... Brisbane is the most under estimated City in Australia.

[@rikx3662]

Pejman Ghobaeezadeh word, this city is lovely

[@Chewbroccolii]

Agreed. I live in west end and it's a pretty happening place day or night.

[@Nah-ah]

Right West End and Paddington are my favourite places to visit 🙌🏼

[@anferneec]

Would love to see a video of these places Pejman - nice to get another local's perspective of places to see and experience. I agree, fantastic editing and video Currently Hannah! I'll need to head up to the lookout soon for sunrise!

I LOVE Brisbane. I live in Remote Australia now, but it was where I first arrived in Australia many years ago. I'm now an Australian and Brisbane has a special place in my heart. I spent my first 6 months there.

[@richardhoward7892]

Thank you for showing people how beautiful our city is

[@camelephant101]

As someone who lives in Brisbane and absolutely loves this city, this video made my heart fill with pride and happiness. Your amazing shots really showed off our beautiful city and I'm so grateful you made this video to share the beauty of Brisbane with the world. Love your stuff, hope to see you around the city one day! :)

[@geoffscott5066]

I moved to Brisbane from Melbourne 6 months ago. Brissy is not boring at all, it is pretty day and night. Nice job Hannah love your videos

[@jennykim1003]

I didn't know much about Brisbane when I arrived 9years ago...Now, I know this is the BEST place in the world and I love my second home ❤ I always feel lucky to be here with amazing people in it! Thanks for lovely video, I really enjoyed 😘

[@hoightb]

Public transport is great and a hell of a lot cheaper than parking in the city. The trains and buses are definitely reliable and quick.

[@charliebaxter9621]

BeardeDragon77 yes I find that as well

[@hana7584]

Really depends on where you live. My old place used to have bus come every hour and trains every 40 mins

[@williammacknish2084]

BeardeDragon77 i find the trains are super reliable but ive had buses come 20mins late even if im at the thrid stop in the route. Id say its cause corronation drive gets chokkas easily which affects my area tho

[@Richard-ck5zk]

If it's the weekend, parking is only around $10-$15. So if you're going with a couple people it's definitely better to drive than use public transport.

[@linkinparkundrground]

Brisbane has drastically improved over the last decade or so and the rest of the country hasn't really realised yet. Also that "new farm park" area you showed early on in the video is called Howard Smith Wharves if anyone is interested/curious. It's an amazing spot at night with the bridge and city lit up.

[@abbeyyt8553]

watching your videos inspired me to travel to singapore and brisbane. both were amazing. i even booked marina bay sands for my 30th after your video - and they bumped me up to a suite!! i am so in love with brisbane and can't wait to call myself a resident :) thanks for your videos!

[@iamDarrennn]

That pre winter sunset glow makes me super happy and it kinda reminds me of my childhood days.

[@Kidotheone]

Incredible video, you're dope homie! Love the scenic shots also, people can tell this video was made out of a place of genuine appreciation for where we're from, so thank you!!

[@maloumendoza4676]

My brother and his family are already residing there, he choose to live that place because of it's beautiful places and warm welcome from people.

[@ian4569]

You made a wonderful video and did justice to the place! If there be people who would say something otherwise, I would say that beauty is a matter of perspective. Love what you've done. 😎🇦🇺🥂

[@CattLewis]

Hot Tip! Parking under King George Square in Brisbane is only $5 on weekends or after 4pm on weekdays! It's my go to place for a park in the city! :)

[@BrisbaneChannel]

And you can actually arrive at 3:45pm on weekdays and just pay the $5, as the first 15min is not counted (but if you arrive at 3:44, it'll cost something ridiculous - trust me (I paid about $30 when I made that mistake)).

I'll let you in on a mad secret seeing as I'm in the mood to be a sikknt. You can park for free in the city on weekends. Go left down Herschel Street off George Street and directly opposite the little red brick building (the Government Medical Office) is a long driveway that will take you to some Christian building that is never in use (usually). You can get away with parking up the back there for free. Do not do this on a weekday during the day or if there is something going on in that Christian building (It has a long name I can't remember)

[@jasperjean2642]

You’ve captured Brisbane beauty wonderfully!! My favourite part is the purple red sunset to the evening, it is so beautiful!! I’ve been living in Brisbane for over 15years and I don’t think I can ever truly leave this place. Thank you so much for this!

[@michaell9811]

I'm from the States and I've been to Brisbane many times and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect size, it's clean, modern, well developed and has lots of trendy little areas to check out. Plus the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are in close proximity. An ideal place to live and visit!

[@petermono]

I lived there for almost two years and it’s good if you prefer a slower pace lifestyle. The city area itself features attractions you can experience in less than a week. It’s a good base to have if you like doing day trips to Morten island or Noosa. They have some brunch cafes spread out if you know where to look ;)

[@seforaadamsx]

So beautiful! So nice to see my city like this! Thank you for this amazing video! ❤❤

[@Tommy_Explorer]

grew up here. kindergarten through to high school and uni... now living in Melbourne, will probably head to New York soon (1 month away from qualifying as a New York Attorney), but one day when I have a family I will move back here to settle down - this big country town will always be home to me.

[@domlipski5226]

I moved to Brisbane from Melbourne 2 years ago and it was the best decision of my life. Sure it can be a little sleepy at times compared to Sydney/Melbourne but it makes up for it in so many ways. So much less traffic, its super clean and green, virtually no crime in the inner city, great cafes, really laid back friendly people and of course the perfect weather all year around. It's Australia's best kept secret, I just hope not too many Southerners like myself wake up and move here.

[@benjaamin8]

A quiet city is a superior city in my opinion, less people, less problems.

[@jenaya_laila2442]

As a tourist from Ireland,I was in Brisbane in early March this year and needed directions a few times and found the people really friendly and willing to help,also I was taking photos with a tripod and people stopped and asked if they were going to ruin the image by walking by, super friendly I thought, so much to see and do, great places to eat, and finished up at kangroo point for sunset beautiful!!! Will definitely be returning.great video btw I watched your first video before I went and it was really helpful.

[@jng66]

I've been visiting Brisbane on and off over the years and never thought much of it until two visits ago when something came over me and I fell head-over-heels in love with the place. I can't wait to explore more of its beauty. Thanks for the lovely shots of Mr Coot-tha and for introducing me to Captain Burke park!

[@ashleycamacho98]

I come from Canada and have been staying in Brisbane for 3 months now. I have gone to different cities in Queensland + Sydney and Melbourne and I aways come back to loving Brisbane because of how bright, youthful and small it is. Being a student thousands of miles away from family, this city has felt like home for me.

[@HeyItsMia]

love the calming and beautiful way you film your videos

[@dianutami5776]

So beautiful ... The cinematography so great. Looks so luxury.

[@bibichristoff9980]

We really enjoyed Brisbane (2015) & QLD. Lovely drone shots - the whole video too.

[@GregoryFariss]

That "not great sunset" turned out to be spectacular. We often don't appreciate our home town. I can tell some time away has created a new appreciation for your home. Great video, per usual.

Yeah it was one of the best I’ve seen :)

[@sheilahiggins6427]

I think Brissie is a gorgeous city. It’s a great place to live. I used to live there. I always think it’s not super exciting for visitors but it definitely has its own charm and it’s getting cooler all the time.

[@temperatechimp]

Honestly, Hannah the whole video is just a joy to watch. All the transitions, slow-mos, quick-clips, and the brilliant drone footage....all so well edited, and then paired with the most uplifting soundtrack choices. Awesome. Just. Freaking. Awesome.

[@benjamin7627]

People say Brisbanes a boring city but im going to show you its not... In Brisbane you can walk under a bridge or you can look at a sky scraper and you can lay down on a park bench. Phew.. Im so exhasted from all the excitement.

[@oldguydave7355]

When my family moved to Brisbane the City Hall was the tallest building and south bank was not somewhere you wanted be after dark:-) , loooong time ago. :-) Not every new thing in Brisbane has made it better but your video really brings out the best in the city, great job! Cheers to you.

[@geoffouston3165]

Brissy looks even better with your magic cinematic touch Hannah. 👍😍

[@BrisbaneChannel]

Absolutely loved the video. Just for the record, I'm not actually saying Brisbane is boring in that video you mentioned, although most people don't get that far due to the general crappiness of the video (my first ever KZbin video, made about two weeks after first laying my hands on video-capable gear, starting to learn Premiere etc). My videos are still pretty bad, but improving. Good to see someone a lot further along doing some stuff about Brissie, as there's not much out there ATM.

[@newbris]

As an alternative point of view I would highly recommend you don't get a car to see most of the places shown in this video. They are mostly around the city centre and fringes and you should walk or use the excellent citycat public transport ferry system to see: Captain Burke Park South Bank Howard Smith Wharves Queen St GOMA An alternative is to use the City Cycle system or Lime scooters. Note there are no plans at the time of writing to ban the Lime scooters. The only exception to this (from what I remember in this video) is Mt Coot-tha Lookout. There is a bus from the city that takes you there that most tourists catch though.

[@maikonmuller3746]

Hi Hannah! I lived in Brisbane in 2016 for a a period of 5 months and I`ve to confess that I miss it! I really loved to watch your video and remember a little bit. Cheers!

My school is right near the story bridge. When ur crossing from the south side u can see my school on a cliff. It was built in the 1800s. btw we get a GREAT view of the story bridge

This title is the most accurate description of Brisbane that I've ever seen (also this made me homesick)

[@SWbr-xd7yw]

This made me miss this city and my time in Down Under even more 😭💔 Good job. That's so beautiful. And Brissy is really underrated. When I left Sydney everyone there told me Brisbane is pretty but more quiet (we all know that's a polite way of saying 'boring') which is so not true. Made my best friendships there ❤️

[@Charizard215]

Being in the US, it's pretty hard to justify trips across the Pacific Ocean given that they're almost always 12+ hour plane rides. But I'm hoping that once I move to Japan I'll more readily be able to travel to Oceania and East Asia. You made Australia look awesome to explore.

[@mcforex]

I like when you two laughing , I feel happy too :)

[@firstdown80]

Thanks for a wonderful video and awesome drone shots. We were searching for info videos of Brisbane because my son will be attending UQ starting in Feb, and your video gave us a pretty good idea of how it’s like there.

Hmmmm I've been thinking of getting drone shots in Brisbane for ages but didn't think it was legal. good effort here! Great video.

[@mindlessshoppers6805]

Best thing to do in Brisbane is chuck in $20 into fuel and hit a beach up in the Sunny Coast or down in Gold Coast, grab $20 worth of Fish & Chips for you and the FAMZ. Instead of walking around Southbank and Roma St which cost money paying for parking or using our expensive public transport and then eating over priced food all day.

[@JCResDoc94]

2:20 omg - if they have really been banned Hannah: brisbane just got better again!

[@xTransforminated]

i live on the gold coast, but i visit brisbane really frequently (at least once every week). whenever i'm driving on the M1 into the city and i see the skyline, i always feel something warm in my heart. i love brisbane very much, and it'll always have a special place in my heart. i've never told anyone that because i think it's really lame. so i thought i might comment on this video anonymously.

[@dc-wh7ww]

This video makes me miss those beautiful, spacious places by the river. And the comfy t-shirt and shorts weather.

I’m convinced that Brisbane has some of the best weather in the world. SO comfy (except for sometimes in summer haha)

[@dc-wh7ww]

@@CurrentlyHannah It can be a bit much, but at least it's (usually) not Singapore / Malaysia level. The people are so chilled out though. It's almost like the there's something in the air and sunlight there to help you relax. Oh yeah, if scooters are out, try bicycles along the river around Brisbane City / West End or New Farm. Nice cafes, markets and photo spots.

Best video about Brisbane I have seen yet ! Thank you for this , all the negative talk about Brisbane put me off visiting , but now I’m keen to have a look.

[@princessofpigs]

awwww I moved to NYC at the beginning of this year (Specifically Brooklyn) for my job. I can't see myself going home for the foreseeable future but when I first got out of the cab to my apartment I had this massive realisation and like spiritual moment that I won't have kids here. Brisbane is pretty dry when you hit your twenties but it gives you the _best_ childhood ever. There are so many area's to play in, parks and people looking out in general in the community. It's slow but not lazy. Everyone is doing something but there not in any hurry to get it finished. It's safe, free healthcare, the weather sucks for a month but the rest of the year it's perfect, _fresh food_ thats such a thing food sucks outside of Australia and Brisbane has the best strawberries. Also for all the shit I gave the valley it's actually a really good place to club, everything in one district and the cops are super relaxed. I know it's growing so fast and the only thing I hope for when I get back are that restaurants open past 10pm because that's so shite and something I love here and that it becomes more dog friendly.
