Brisbane
Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and the third largest city in Australia, however it is rarely mentioned or considered a holiday/travel destination.
The city is clean and has grown into an urban spotless city. Queensland only decriminalised homosexuality in 1990 and is enriched with a thriving gay scene.
The town has lost its old reactionary flavour and has become increasingly liberal. Although Sydney residents consider the Queenslanders conservative, in Brisbane's 2000 mayoral race, a big drag queen called Tamara Tonite did quite well enough to win third place
The major gay areas are the Fortitude Valley bordering Chinatown, Spring Hill, and the more alternative area of New Farm to the east. The two queer newspapers are Queensland Pride and Q News and can be picked up (free) at bars and clubs.
Brisbane has a thriving live music scene, both popular and classical, as well as theatres and museums within the city, South Bank, the South Bank Parklands and Brisbane suburbs.
