Tipping is not part of the local culture. A simple 'thank you' is sufficient for good service.

Brisbane's drinking and nightlife scene is separated into some distinct areas. Anyone planning a night on the town should be aware that after 3AM, no more patrons are allowed into pubs and clubs. This is a safety measure, coupled with increased security presence at taxi ranks. Additionally, smokers should beware of strict anti-smoking regulations. Smoking is now banned in "all areas where food & drink are served", both indoors and outdoors. This means that smoking is banned in all hotels, clubs, and cafés except in designated smoking areas.
The drinking age in Australia is 18 and only an Australian driver's licence, 18+ card or a foreign passport is accepted as proof of age. Other forms of ID such as a student card are not accepted. These regulations are strictly enforced – for nightclubs in particular, your ID will always be checked at the door, and while venues serving food may let you in, most are very prudent in checking ID if you wish to purchase alcohol.
Brisbane provides a base for day trips to explore the southeast of Queensland. The North Coast of New South Wales can also be reached in an hour if traffic is light, but allow up to two hours travel if traffic is heavy or there is an accident on the Pacific Motorway. Queensland Rail also provides extensive services out of Brisbane to the north and south of the city and to the Gold Coast.
Brisbane (/bʁizban/ ; en anglais : /ˈbɹɪzbən/ ) est la capitale et la ville la plus peuplée de l'État du Queensland, en Australie. Elle est située à 731 kilomètres au nord-nord-est de Sydney, à 1 375 kilomètres au nord-est de Melbourne, à 1 601 kilomètres à l'est-nord-est d'Adélaïde et à 3 608 kilomètres à l'est de Perth. Elle borde le fleuve Brisbane et s'étend sur une plaine humide bordée de collines, limitée par Moreton Bay et par les premiers contreforts de la cordillère australienne. À quelques kilomètres du centre-ville, le mont Coot-Tha accueille une plate-forme panoramique, un planetarium et des jardins botaniques. Le site de Brisbane est appelé « Mian-Jin » par les aborigènes Turrbal, ce qui signifie « L'endroit pointu ». Troisième ville d'Australie par le nombre d'habitants, elle compte en 2016 1 131 155 habitants, 2 270 800 dans l'aire urbaine. La ville doit son nom à sir Thomas Brisbane, le gouverneur de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud de 1821 à 1825. Fondée en 1824 à Redcliffe, à 28 kilomètres du centre-ville actuel, la colonie pénitentiaire de Brisbane est ensuite déplacée en amont, dans une boucle du fleuve Brisbane. Les premiers colons libres peuvent s'installer à Brisbane en 1842, peu après la fermeture du centre pénitentiaire. En 1859, la scission du nord de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud donne lieu à la création du Queensland, dont Brisbane devient la capitale. La ville joue un grand rôle pour les forces alliées pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et sert de quartier général au général Douglas MacArthur qui commande les forces alliées du sud-ouest du Pacifique. Plus récemment, Brisbane accueille les jeux du Commonwealth de 1982, l'exposition universelle Expo '88, ainsi que les Goodwill Games de 2001. Elle sera également la ville-hôte des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2032. L'économie de Brisbane est basée sur les industries pétrochimiques, métallurgiques, agroalimentaires et mécaniques. Son port permet l'exportation des ressources naturelles de l'État (charbon, argent, plomb, zinc). La ville est également un important centre culturel et touristique, à peu de distance des stations balnéaires de la Sunshine Coast et de la Gold Coast. Après Melbourne en 1956 et Sydney en 2000, Brisbane sera en 2032 la troisième ville australienne à accueillir les Jeux olympiques.

Sunshine Coast Hinterland – 90 minu…
