My experience as an international
student in Brisbane is turning out to
be really fruitful. The people Ive met
here are just so friendly and willing
to go out of their way to help me with my
studies, making me feel at home.
And, as a country occupying an entire
continent, Australias wildlife and scenery is
unique, offering something different in every
state. Im often spoiled for choice when making
plans for holidays during the semester breaks.
Be beach safe
Many visitors are unaware that Queenslands beautiful,
world-famous beaches hold some potential dangers.
Follow these simple rules to enjoy the beach safely:
always swim between the flags

Sunny days and year-round temperate

Queensland has a highly educated
and skilled population, a diverse range of
industries, and a stable economy, and offers
many opportunities for casual, part-time,

Entertainment in Brisbane encompasses
art galleries including the Gallery of Modern

live music scene, cinemas, and kilometres
of beautiful riverside parklands perfect for
relaxing on hot summer afternoons. Our
lively festival scene, which includes the
Brisbane International Film Festival, Brisbane
Writers Festival and the Brisbane Festival,
attracts celebrated national and international
participants.
Sport
Whether you are watching or participating,
Brisbanes amazing weather, gorgeous
parks and huge range of sporting facilities
make physical activity almost impossible to
avoid. Kayak along the Brisbane River, rock

kilometres of riverside pathways, join one
of our many sporting clubs, or barrack like a
local when you attend a rugby union, rugby
league, cricket, Aussie rules or football
match at one of our famous stadiums.
Food
With just under a third of Brisbanes
population born overseas, it makes sense
that you will find cuisine from almost every
culture in our thriving restaurant industry,
so if youre missing food from home, its
likely youll find what youre looking for.
