Hello My Second Home!


All About Brisbane
Better known as Brissy or B ris Vegas especially among
Brisbanites, B risbane is the most populous city in Queensland, as
well as the third m ost populous city in Australia.
Its m etropolitan region extends along the Brisbane River, w hich is
one of its most iconic landmarks.
Its consistent development is attributed to its w ide range of retails,
Port of B risbane, ecotourism, good working opportunities and also
comprehensive facilities.
Similar to the districts in Malaysia, there are m any geographical
subdivisions in B risbane, w hich are called suburbs. Among these
are S t Lucia ( where University of Queensland is located), Toowong,
Indooroopilly, Sunnybank, South Brisbane and West End.
To know more about Brisbanes suburbs, please refer to :

Brisbane Quick
Facts
Founded: 1 824
State: Queensland (a.k.a.
Sunshine
State) Area: 5950 km2
Population: 2 .47 million (as
of June 2 014)
Time Zone: Australia

CULTURE
Although English is the universal language here, Brisbane is a
multicultural city just like Malaysia.
About 30% of its population was born overseas, particularly
from the United Kingdom, New Z ealand, India, China and
Malaysia.
Malaysia is one of the foreign countries with the m ost
population in B risbane, which w as near 10,000.
Among the variety of nations, Asian Australians are the largest
ethnic minority in B risbane. Hong Kong and Taiwanese-born
Australians pre-dominate areas such as S unnybank, Stretton
and Robertson.
In fact, S unnybank and its surrounding suburbs are known as
Taiwan Town or Little Taipei due to the large population of
Taiwanese.
On the other hand, Asians from Korea, China, Malaysia and
other Southeast Asian countries are m ore commonly found in
metropolitan areas.

The LANDMARKS
QUEENSLANDER
Interesting enough, Queenslander is
ambiguous it m ay refer to a person
from Queensland or, in this case, the
characteristic architecture style of
Queensland.
It is primarily used for residence,
distinguishing Brisbane's suburbs from
other capital cities.
A Queenslander is constructed using
timber, usually w ith vertical stumps
that m ake the main living spaces off the
ground.

WHEEL OF BRISBANE

Such architecture style serves to cool the


building by means of ventilation and also
to protect the building from termites and
other pests.

The Wheel of B risbane is a transportable Ferris


wheel erected at the northern entrance to South
Bank Parklands, which is just across the river from
the Brisbane City.
It is about 60 m eters tall w ith 42 air- conditioned
capsules w hich can accommodate up to six adults
and two children each.
A ride of approximately 12 m inutes offers you an
awesome 360view across the city.

DID YOU KNOW?


The designer of the Wheel of
Brisbane i s Ronald Bussink, a l eading
designer for giant Ferris wheels i n
Australia, Canada, Paris, UK, USA
and many other places for over 2 5
years. The Eye on Malaysia, which
used to operate i n Kuala L umpur i n
2007 and then i n Malacca from
2008 to 2 010, i s also one of his
masterpieces!

The LANDMARKS
Brisbane River
With a length of 344km, Brisbane R iver is the
longest river in the Southeast Queensland.
Situated along the river are the m any
metropolitan suburbs of B risbane, m aking it
strategic to travel from one suburb to another
by ferry.
There are by far 16 bridges crossing the
Brisbane R iver, among w hich the m ore
renowned ones are S tory Bridge, G oodwill
Bridge and Victoria Bridge.
5 new bridges will be established in coming
years for better accessibility.

Story Bridge
The S tory Bridge is a heritage-listed steel
cantilever bridge, which is the longest in
Australia. Connecting Fortitude Valley to
Kangaroo Point, it allows passage for
vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.
It is named after John Douglas Story, a
prominent public servant in B risbane.

UQ Landmarks
THE GREAT
COURT

DID YOU

Situated in the heart of the S t


Lucia campus is the Great
Court, surrounded by cloister
and buildings constructed from
sandstone, carved with
historical scenes, the names of
great thinkers and teachers,
coats of arms, grotesques and
carvings of Australian flora and
fauna.

The G reat Court is listed


on the Queensland
Heritage R egister as w ell
as on the Register of the
National Trust of
Queensland.

KNOW?

The 2.5-hectare open space


with a spacious meadow is
always a favoured place for
students and staff to sit or even
lie leisurely for a respite.

UQ Lakes
Apart from being one of the iconic
features, this freshwater lake is also a
home to a m yriad of aquatic lives,
birds and land animals.
Some are native and some are new
species that originated beyond
Australia.
Added to the beauty of the lake is a
water fountain in the m iddle, making
it a sight for sore eyes to behold.

UQ Landmarks

in 1976, housing over 3,000
artworks collected by UQ itself
since the 1940s.

volunteering opportunities as well as to
skills required in working life.

In fact, a small proportion of our members


consist of non-Malaysians from countries
like Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong and even
Mauritius!

We warmly welcome you all to gather in a


true Malaysian spirit and enjoy our wide
array of activities alongside the awesome
Malaysian food.

throughout the year! Spot t he Jalur

Whereabouts to travel

Brisbane Central District (CBD)

This is the heart of Brisbane as well as Queensland,


which is on the northern bank of Brisbane River.

Along-side its densely concentrated buildings, there are


also several parks such as Roma Street Parkland, City
Botanic Garden and Wickham Park.

The city can get very crowded on Friday nights and


whenever there are Australian festive celebrations.

The more happening streets in the city are Adelaide


Street, Queen Street and Elizabeth Street.

Shopping malls, boutiques, eateries and Asian marts are all


around.

A true heaven for shopaholics and food lovers!


*Friendly Reminder: Shops operated by Aussies
(except for those for nightlife) are usually closed around 4-
5pm. They will only extend the opening hours on Thursday or
Friday and on certain festive seasons. Always check the
business hours so you wont be let down. Markets and
restaurants run by Asians are usually open until nighttime.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary


Wish to have a close look of the Australian wildlife?
Then this is where you should go! Lone Pine was founded
in 1927 and is the world's oldest and largest koala
sanctuary.
It is located in the suburb of Fig Tree Pocket.
Besides koalas, you will also be able to see kangaroos,
platypus, other mammals as well as a myriad of birds
and
Reptiles.

GOLD COAST
Being the second most populous city in the
state and the sixth most populous city in the
country, Gold Coast is a coastal city on the
east coast of Australia.
Its surfing beaches, canal and waterway
systems, theme parks, nightlife, and rainforest
hinterland make it a fascinating attraction for
tourists.
There are many beaches along the coast,
including Surfers Paradise, Mermaid Beach,
Rainbow Bay, Main Beach and so on.
Besides visiting beaches for the breathtaking
views, you will also come across shops and
skyscrapers just beside the beaches.
A must go place for shopaholics is Harbour
Town, the first and largest brand direct outlet
shopping centre in Australia

SUNSHINE COAST
About 2-hour drive to the north of Gold
Coast will lead you to Sunshine Coast, also
known as the little brother of Gold Coast
This is an urban area with more laid back
lifestyle.
Its pristine beaches and nature are the
main captivation for tourism. Interesting
places include Noosa, Coolum,
Maroochydore and Mooloolaba

MT COOT-THA
Mount Coot-tha, located 6km to the
west of Brisbane CBD, is 287 meters
above sea level, therefore the highest
peak in Brisbane.
Due to its high altitude, it is a favoured
place for Brisbane lookout, where you
can enjoy a panoramic view of Brisbane
city.
Apart from the lookout point, other
places of attraction are Mount Coot-tha
Botanic Gardens, the Cosmic
Planetarium and Herbarium.
