What to expect
Brisbane boasts many tourist attractions to visit. Hiking trails are popular with travelers and the shopping scene makes for great retail therapy opportunities. Plus, Brisbane’s public transit system makes getting around easy without needing a car!
Brisbane can become very busy during its peak tourist season between June and August; however, the climate remains pleasant with plenty of activities and outdoor pursuits available to residents and visitors. Meanwhile, winter months provide less congestion so you can take advantage of mild temperatures while enjoying Brisbane beaches without overcrowdedness.
Brisbane is generally safe to travel in, though you should still take the necessary precautions. Avoid busy areas like Surfers Paradise and remain alert for crime in the city centre. Although generally safer than its Australian counterparts such as Sydney or Melbourne, safety is still of utmost concern when travelling late at night.
Predictions
Brisbane will host Gold Coast in an intense Q-Clash, and any loss for Chris Fagan’s side would be devastating. They have only won once at The Gabba this season and remain winless against top eight opponents.
Damien Hardwick has helped resurrect the Suns season and they now look like contenders to reach finals. Their ball movement can be devastating and with four of the five best inside 50 totals producing clean marks they could become formidable opponents for any opponent.
Gold Coast attracts young travelers looking for partying, while Brisbane provides a more tranquil and relaxing travel experience. Furthermore, both cities feature museums, beaches, and local street food vendors offering delicious bites.
The matchups
The Gold Coast is an acclaimed tourist destination, boasting beautiful beaches (such as Surfers Paradise), high-rise dominated skylines, theme parks, nightlife and rainforest hinterlands. Additionally, it is home to Australian Institute of Sport and Queensland Performing Arts Centre – two iconic institutions dedicated to sport.
Politics on the Gold Coast has traditionally leaned conservative. Country Party supporters were prominent during its first three decades after World War II; since then it has transitioned into Liberal National supporter territory, with Labor only performing well around Labrador and Coolangatta.
The Gold Coast boasts two of Australia’s largest professional surf lifesaving services and operates the Queensland Shark Control Program using baited drumlines at major swimming beaches. Additionally, free public surf clinics and lessons are offered throughout the year in this vibrant coastal city; for those interested in foodie fun there’s Eat Street Northshore that features international cuisines.
Where to watch
The Gold Coast is an idyllic holiday destination, known for its idyllic beaches and exciting theme parks. Its subtropical climate and vibrant cultural scene offer the ideal place for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Brisbane, on the other hand, is a contemporary city that seamlessly combines nature and urban living. Renowned for its pristine beaches and vibrant culture that attract visitors from around the world as well as stunning riverside parks and an energetic food scene, Brisbane draws visitors from across the globe.
No matter if you’re watching with friends or cheering from home, there are plenty of places to watch the footy finals this weekend. The Gabba can easily be reached via public transport and is just steps from the CBD. Alternatively, Burleigh RSL’s newly renovated bar features an exciting Footy Finals special including four hours of Footy Finals fun plus $300 worth of food and drinks!
