Since the last time I was in Brisbane, so much has changed!

Australia feels like a second home to me, and after seven years away, I’m finally back in Brisbane, Queensland. Previously, I had completed a work visa there in 2013/14, and I absolutely loved my time, but I hadn't visited for a while, so it was time to go back! In this travel vlog, I explore Brisbane’s sunny South Bank, trendy coffee spots, rooftop bars, riverside walks and incredible brunch culture before heading out on an unforgettable day trip to the Glasshouse Mountains. There is even a cheeky Parkrun in there on the Southbank in Brisbane, a great way to start the weekend! This trip had a bit of everything — park run mornings, Japanese food, skyline drinks overlooking Brisbane and a nerve-racking abseiling challenge in the Glasshouse Mountains. See what happens… I also take advantage of Queensland’s insanely cheap 50-cent public transport while travelling from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast hinterland to hike one of Queensland’s most iconic volcanic landscapes. This is where I get to hang out with my friends Mike and Marissa, whom I met in Vietnam in 2017, whilst on a bus as we travelled up the country. We have kept in touch ever since and managed to go for a coffee in Brisbane, then a hike in the Sunshine Coast. At the time, Mike and Marissa were biking around the world and you can hear about their journey below on my Winging It Travel Podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000553125474 https://open.spotify.com/episode/27O0xeuBfieuVAdNpyLQTc?si=HJ2CWmblQ_uctTFywzZESA Towards the end of the vlog, I meet Leanne and Lyle from @beachtravelwinepodcast for a trendy brunch, coffee and a catch-up.
