Cheap and cheerful Brisbane
Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], May 5, 2005
This week it's Brisbane's turn for Getaway's Cheap and Cheerful series. It receives a big star as a tourist destination thanks to its hot summers and mild winters and it's a city that makes the most to be about the Brisbane River.
A terrific way to get the feel of the city would be to visit RiverWalk, 20 kilometres of pathways, roads, bridges and parks attached to the city's network of bikeways. You are able to travel on the north bank between your University of Queensland campus at St Lucia and Teneriffe as well as on the south bank between the West End Ferry Terminal at Orleigh Park to Dockside at Kangaroo Point. There are good maps showing where you can walk or ride alongside the river as well as where you can visit a ferry or perhaps a sleek,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], twin-hulled CityCat.
35 metres from the riverbank is an 850-metre stainless floating walkway which provides the feeling and search of walking on water.
Among the 'in' and cheap places to invest an afternoon may be the Merthyr Bowls Club within the trendy inner suburb of New Farm. It's directly on the river as well as an end or two of lawn bowls is great fun. They've introduced barefoot bowls on weekends that has proven very popular with younger players. So much so, you have to book way ahead. Traditional and professional bowls continue to be played there, of course, and everybody is happy to provide ideas to newcomers.
For a completely different bowls game, visit Strike Bowling Bar in the centre of Brisbane. It's the latest in interactive entertainment in an exciting environment. You will find 12 bowling lanes which can be divided into three self-contained private bowling lounges for functions and parties. The concept has put a brand new face on the old bowling experience with giant lane-end video projections, effects lighting, soft comfortable seating, computerised scoring and fantastic food and beverages. Not just bowling, but four billiard tables, a cocktail bar, interactive games, karaoke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sports viewing, a dance floor and a Skybox private function room.
As you prepare for any great meal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], go to the new Emporium in Fortitude Valley. Already a big hit in Melbourne, Mecca Bah is taking Brisbane by storm. It blends Moroccan and other Middle Eastern flavours, coupled with Australian produce, all inside a place of movement and colour. You may be stepping into a very beautiful location in Marrakesh.
Décor is rich and highly detailed and in the bar area, with its low brass tables and textured ottomans, you may enjoy drinks, pastries, Turkish delight and excellent coffee. The menu leads to ordering plates of food to talk about there are lots of things for children.
Should you fancy some oriental glamour and sophistication, head for Jade Buddha. It's added a brand new dimension to the Brisbane bar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], restaurant and music scene with décor approved with a leading feng shui expert.
The Shadow Lounge is definitely an east-meets-west cocktail bar. It's sunken lounges, cedar lanterns and superb Asian artefacts. When is an al fresco venue with fabulous Story Bridge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kangaroo Point cliffs and river views. It has its own bar while offering full service. The Jade Lounge is indoors while offering the same wonderful outlook. The Bamboo Room is fantastic for intimate functions with private access, comfortable seating and relaxed surroundings. Music is non-commercial and given by DJs.
As you prepare for some seriously good shopping, head Ten minutes anywhere to Paddington. Latrobe Terrace is lined with beautiful old Queenslanders which have been changed into shops. Adornments specialises in vintage clothing and accessories and Thousand Island Dressing is definitely an Aladdin's Cave of quirky and unusual jewellery and homewares.
Now, i believe that now walking, cruising,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bowling, eating,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dancing and shopping you will without doubt be feeling like repairing to your accommodation, kicking off your shoes and looking at your shopping!
Goodearth Hotel in the centre of Brisbane offers excellent value for money. It's surrounded by parkland and it has views from private balconies across the city to the Mount Coot-tha Ranges,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They provide a great deal of bedding configurations and complimentary parking.
The Lobby Bar is a relaxing area to savor a glass or two and Teo's On Wickham serves modern Australian and traditional cuisine at very reasonable prices. The Terrace has views across Roma Street Parklands and service is warm and friendly.
LocationQueensland's capital city.
CostCityCats cost $2.40 for a single ride or unlimited day passes are $3.60. They may be purchased aboard. They operate every day between 5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].50am and 10.30pm
Merthyr Bowls Club's barefoot bowling is $20. It offers bowls, two hours of play along with a barbecue lunch. The Club is open every single day from 10am until late.
