Due to its fantastic climate, Brisbane is a great outdoor city. There is plenty to do for the singleton in this busy city. Whether you prefer to hang out in the City Centre, Fortitude Valley, Southbank, or the suburbs, you will be spoiled for choice.
Sunset at the Brisbane Golf ClubSky Watch FridayI was at a baptism in Brisbane this week, and the service ended with refreshments available at the Indooroopilly Golf Club. It was late afternoon by the time we arrived, and in the "Jacaranda room" I had an excellent view out to the west, where the sun was setting over the golf links. Somewhat surprisingly, the best framing I could find for the sunset was to zoom right in to 300mm, excluding the golf links entirely and silhouetting the mountains in the distance.Mountains in the distance withthe setting sunThe photo above was taken at about 4:30pm, before the sun began to set properly. I was walking through a doorway, and caught a glimpse of the mountains through the leaves of this plant. So, out came the camera for a quick shot! The leaves gi

Australians will face an uphill task in the 2nd final of CB series due to their past and present performance at Brisbane Cricket Ground to save their pride. On the other hand Indians are feeling a realistic chance to beat the Aussies since they are down on confidence after loosing the first final at Sydney Cricket Ground. Over the past decade it has been rare to see Australia controlled and

Thank god I have the best boyfriend in the world (not forgetting the fact that he is a Prince, royalty)! He never fails to be by my side through good and bad times (though we've only been together officially for 17 days).
I remember that fine day at MOS when my sister's wallet got picked, and I suddenly had low blood pressure (somewhat blacked out but not completely) that almost ended me in the hospital.
It was 2am and he still rushed down just to help me (MissCel's big mouth of course). If it were a fairy tale story, it'd be like my Prince in shiny armor coming to my rescue... (To be continued...)
Anyway, back to the Slingers.
Notice that MissCel and Nic aren't in the photo?
Gosh. MissCel is seriously in need of an organizer to arrange her schedule properly (to think that she is suppose to organize mine as well, I'm so doomed).
Simple calculations - exam ends at 5pm, chance of delays, time for travel, and so on so forth. Is it even possible she could hav

Oh dear, since we've been back, it just seem as if no work was done while I was away, and I have a pile of work on the table to attend to. So just a quick blog post.It was our first day in Brisbane, which is about 45 minutes drive from Gold Coast. That night we came all the way up to Mount Coo-tha, a lookout location for Brisbane. The view is definitely breathtaking to say the least. The temperature was alright, but the wind was just unbearable, definitely made the coffee taste a lot better than it should. Brisbane had pretty good weather, say about 24C during the day and by night it goes to around 18C ( so nice !!). But up on the hill the wind was quite strong and wasn't dressed up to tahan the wind... so cold !! The cake was okay. We ordered it because its called Ebony & Ibory.. hmmm.. its described as a cake that has white and black chocolate. Sounded very muhibbah, thats why I chosed that cake. No complains really, and shared this with Sayang.Now we ordered the two

Visit the Australian East Coast: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane
Sydney: the stunning city on water Sydney has so much to offer from the breathtaking Blue Mountains to popular hang out Bondi Beach. Sydney city centre is cosmopolitan and has many attractions including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. This is one of the most attractive cities in the world.

Brisbane is Australia’s fastest growing city with an outdoor lifestyle unequaled in Australia. And while it is not Australia’s hottest city, It has developed into a thriving metropolis with an easy-going unhurried tempo, well known for its mouth-watering cuisine and fine local wines.

(Brisbane/Australien). Meine Sicht: Platt, wie Flundern geht’s am nächsten Tag bei strömenden Regen weiter nach Brisbane. Wir fahren vorbei an Surfers Paradies und sind froh, dass wir hier nicht unsere Zelte aufgeschlagen haben, denn der Ort hat den Charme von Berlin-Marzahn oder Halle-Neustadt. Vollkommen geschmacklos, mit Hochhausarchitektur die Strandpromenade versaut. In Cleveland versuchen wir unser Glück noch einmal am Meer – ganz niedlich hier aber bei dem Unwetter reicht es nicht, um der Abschiedsort für Hermann zu werden. Dies soll dann Brisbane sein, wir finden sogar ein recht preiswertes Hostel in der Innenstadt, sodass wir von hier aus die gar nicht mal so hässliche Stadt erkunden können. Wir landen in einer typischen Rugbykneipe in der fantastische Stimmung herrscht, das Zapfbier schmeckt und die Bratwürste sind sogar umsonst. Sollten sie mal in Deutschland auch einführen, so ne Art Flatrate für thüring
Whenever I mention about travel Australia, people will be all excited about Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast, but if you have never visited Brisbane, you may be missing the big part of fun in Queensland.My first visit to Brisbane was dated more than 10 years ago and I had been back to this lovely city a few times now. In fact, next year, we may be planning for a trip to check out the property scene, if my DH hasn't changed his mind. What I should include in our itinerary this time around are day trips to some islands like Bribie island, Moreton Bay or Tangalooma. A wildlife trip should excite my little boy and a country drive to the Sunshine Hinterland will be a great adventure for our family.I would much prefer to pick a Brisbane accommodation in the city or Southbank on one weekend to enjoy the flea markets which is a great place to shop for some local arts and craft and food produce. Besides, I just found an online booking site that has lots of cheap hotels in Brisbane. It is not
On Saturday 28 July 2007 a leak occurred in Santos’ Moonie to Brisbane oil pipeline (MBP) in the Brisbane suburb of Algester. Approximately 205 cubic metres (1,300 barrels) of liquids (crude oil and water) has been removed from the site. Santos has worked closely with emergency services and the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency to contain and remove the oil, and to provide support to affected households. The MBP has been shut in and that part of the pipeline in the vicinity of the incident has been further isolated.The majority of surface oil has been recovered and storm water drains in the area have been cleaned. An investigation into the cause of the incident has commenced and the leak site will be excavated for investigation early this week. Santos has mobilised alternative arrangements for the trucking of crude oil production while the pipeline is repaired. The production impact of the incident is not material for Santos. Santos maintains appropriate insurance coverage f

Famous for the Outback, rugby, and Olivia-Newton John, friendly Australia also offers a varied and lively commercial sex scene.

Commercial sex is legal in most of Australia, with reasonable restrictions. Your
It just occured to me that alot of travelers, even experienced ones, do not know what they are missing out. I have been booking online for the past 8 years in all my vacations and I am enjoying every bit of this sheer convenience and online hotel shopping experience. But til today, I still have friends who think that online hotel booking is not reliable and trustworthy.One of the hotel booking sites I have personally used is Asia Hotels which offers competitive rates in all parts of Asia plus Australia and other parts of the world. Not only do you find attractive deals of a wide selection of hotels in the Asian cities, the website provides detailed information of the city, with overview and traveler's stories and reviews of the destination.Next year, I will be searching for hotels in Brisbane as we are planning to Queensland to check out the possibility of settling down in Brisbane in a few years' time. Since our cousins are all based in the Eastern state, this gives us a reason to c
Dominique, Katrina and I left Sydney on another rainy day. The worst storm in 10 years had just hit the area and although we loved it in Sydney and at Benn’s place in Cronulla we all felt ready for a few days in the sun. We bought cheap sleeping bags, pillows, an air mattress and a pump for it, packed it all into Pumpkin and drove all the way up to Forster, a tiny sleepy town about four hours north of Sydney. It might actually be quite nice there during summer, but in winter it is quite cold and there isn’t that much to do.
The next day, after sleeping in the back of the car at some river near Forster, we were on the road again. We probably took every tourist drive in between Forster and Coffs Harbour, our next stop. This is truly a great way to see Australia. If you stay on the Pacific Highway all the way up north you might as well fly. Tourist drives lead you away from the main roads and you get to see small beachside towns, huge cliffs, amazing beaches, small serpent
Hi,
Remember me optimizing for SEO Expert Brisbane and SEO Expert Australia a couple of weeks ago. Well I just noticed that I ended up ranking for keywords Expert Australia and Expert Brisbane. Weird eh? I thought Google was much pickier for relevancy.
Well I have a friend who is a web designer in Brisbane and he asked me if I could optimize his site for terms Website Design Brisbane and Web Site Design Brisbane. Well, lets see what happens. The competition is around 1.5M in google, and that is rougly what I am aiming for.
Well, the truth is that any of you out there can optimize their site. All the key factors are: your title, content and links. If you can make other people link by using your main keyword as the title, that will do half the job. Then making sure that that keyword appears on the index page in bold and H1. Dont forget META keywords and description, as it is also important to have your keyword in them as well. Thats it, you are MSN and Google ready. Now its just patience

Sunday was the annual gathering of LGBT community here in Brisbane. An opportunity to participate in a cramming session. Sweating, drunken swarms, squashed into an area that has for the longest time has been to little in size to accommodate the ever increasing numbers. Dave (The Gay Farmer) Graham from Big Brother attended the days event, I think I managed a glimpse in his direction, when he hit the stage for a bum rumble with a drag queen, other than that his whereabouts were of no importance. The star studded line up was DRAB. Ego & testosterone levels were at at all time high. Dikes were busy pushing their weight around, like a great army, marching to do battle. Then there were the brain dead hypocrite's who approached me in a hope I would have some magic pills or a bit of leaf to ease their sufferings. I only wished I had of worn a T-shirt that said 'DRUGS REALLY ARE FOR DOPES'My only comfort, I chose to become merrily drunken, and after awhile I numbed to the constant pushing,
I decided to make a post to prove that more specific (geographically) search terms are much easier to optimize for just by natural optimization which I happen to be SEO Expert of. So for example, search term SEO Expert Brisbane after this post should appear in positions 1-4 in google and msn where as SEO Expert Australia should appear positioned 3-10 in google and msn.
You are probably wondering why I am so sure about this. Well, I am not 100% sure, but this is just a prognosis based on the work I have done so far.
I figured that if a search term has less then 300,000 competing sites in google (just like seo expert brisbane) then its usually fairly easy to get in the top 10 as most of the sites are structured incorrectly or have no idea about seo all together.
On the other hand if the search term has between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 competing sites(just like seo expert australia), then ranking in the top 10 on google would become more difficult and some advanced techniques might be requ
Flight hours: 5.2Study hours: 0Aviation Reading: NoneWade and I decided to take a leisurely scenic flight around Brisbane and the islands before I had to finalise my preparation to depart for Sydney.There is a published VFR track that takes you south of the city, over to Stradbroke island, tracking north to Moreton island before crossing water to the west for Bribie island and finally now being north of the city, returning to Archerfield.There were some interesting colours to be seen, the coast and islands looked great from the air. Pity about the low cloud which reduced picture clarity.During some of the island hopping, I decided to provide Wade with a taste of what a zero G environment feels like. Seeing as I still had the sound recorder hooked up, I decided to record the experience. You can listen to it here (Warning: Contains Explicit Language).On the return trip to Sydney, I decided to re-record most of the radio conversations again for my Student Pilot Training podcast listeners.
