Brisbane is the capital of the state of Queensland. It has a population of around 2 million, making it Australia's third largest city, after Sydney and Melbourne. Warm climate all year round, spectacular scenery attracts populations from other parts of the continent, making Brisbane the fastest growing city in Australia.
The city is an original amalgamation of modern and colonial styles of architecture. The spiers of Victorian churches here are combined with palm trees planted in front of the facades of skyscrapers, which looks quite original.
