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 é a capital do estado australiano de Queensland, terceira maior cidade e o segundo maior "hub" econômico, administrativo, cultural e urbano do leste do país. É banhada pelo Oceano Pacífico e é em seu território que desagua do Rio Brisbane, o qual dá nome à cidade. Segundo dados estimados para o ano de 2014, possuí uma população absoluta de 2 274 600 habitantes vivendo dentro de seus limites oficiais — fazendo dela a terceira maior cidade australiana em termos populacionais, atrás de Sydney e Melbourne. Desse total de 2.2 milhões de habitantes de Brisbane, cerca de 1 000 000 viviam na cidade de Brisbane propriamente dita no mesmo período e algo em torno de 1 200 000 em seus quatro subúrbios satélites integrados, no mesmo ano. Já sua área metropolitana, a terceira mais populosa da Austrália, que se estende por toda a conurbação do sudeste do estado de Queensland, abrigava 3,4 milhões de pessoas segundo o censo australiano de 2014, ou cerca de 70% da população de toda Queensland (que foi estimada no mesmo período em 4,8 milhões de habitantes). Está situada a 945 km a nordeste da capital do país, Canberra, e a cerca de 733 km a norte de Sydney, a principal cidade australiana. Brisbane é uma das cidades mais antigas da Austrália. Embora tenha sido fundada como parte da colônia de povoamento britânica no leste do país em 1825, a área que hoje é ocupada pela cidade já era volumosamente habitada séculos antes da chegada dos primeiros europeus por das tribos e Jagera. Ademais, Brisbane floresceu ao longo dos séculos XIX e XX ao abrigar, no período, contínuos grupos de colonos, majoritariamente oriundos da Grã-Bretanha, que na cidade e seus arredores procuravam se estabelecer, fazendo expandir o comércio e a indústria em seu território. Esse fluxo foi significativamente acentuado durante a Primeira e a Segunda Guerra Mundial, e continuou, embora em declínio, por algum tempo ao longo dos anos 50 e 60. Hoje, Brisbane é um dos principais centros turísticos da Austrália, porta de entrada para a indústria do turismo no estado de Queensland e em todo o leste e nordeste do país. Em 2010, foi eleita a 36.ª cidade mais "habitável" do mundo, que leva em consideração níveis de segurança pública, limpeza urbana, transparência governamental, bem estar social e conservação dos patrimónios públicos. Brisbane será a sede dos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 2032, tendo o anúncio sido feito em Tóquio em 2021, pouco antes do início dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2020.

There is a scenic drive through the mountains with a couple of lookouts, or you can go for a hike - easy or difficult, depending on the mountain. (Mount Beerwah offers a stern but quick scramble and a good view of the area.) There are a few small roadside shops in the area that sell homemade jams and varieties of macadamia nuts. Beerwah – home of the Australia Zoo, run by the family of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. Admission is $57 for adults.

Sunshine Coast Hinterland – 90 minu…
