Brisbane. A city that thinks outside the box.

A city where an old industrial power station is

transformed into a creative hub for all things

artistic. A city where the hippest lounge bar

lets in the light on 14 metre high living walls

of luscious plants with a roof that retracts.

A city where an iconic brewery moonlights

as a much-loved meeting place.

Brisbane. A city of unique venues.Images on cover and pages 1, 3, 4 & 5: Cloudland (refer to page 25)
