Brisbane is a classic sub-tropical city: a delightful, easy going, modern centre situated on the Brisbane Brook and noted for its extensive and lovely tropical gardens. In his book Portriat of Brisbane Bill Scott described the city as 'a lazy town with its sleeves rolled up, casually sprawling across its thrty-seven hills. The hills are patterned with paling fences, mango trees, high-stepping weather board houses, and a tangle of over head wires like the web of a demented spider. God Bless you Brisbane.
