Brisbane adalah sebuah ibu negeri Queensland yang mempunyai penduduk kira-kira 2 juta orang dan menjadikannya bandar ketiga terbesar di Australia.
Walaupun Brisbane pesat membangun dan masyarakat nya mempunyai daya pemikiran ke hadapan, ia mengekalkan semangat muda, suasana yang meriah dan damai. Iklim sepanjang tahun yang menyegarkan, pemandangan indah dan penduduk yang menyenangkan telah menjadi salah satu daya tarikan dan tumpuan pelancong domestik dan antarabangsa, menjadikan Brisbane bandar yang pesat berkembang di Australia. Bak kata pepatah "tak kenal maka tak cinta". Hai! cam promote Brisbane je heeee

How to get in:
1. By Plain (Brisbane Airport- BNE) - Bagi kita penduduk/rakyat Malaysia, jika ingin ke Brisbane perlu menaiki pesawat Malaysia Airline (MAS) kerana Air Asia tidak menyediakan route ke Brisbane, so kita perlu touch down at Gold Coast Airport dan dari sana baru naik train. Bagaimana caranya...nanti JM bagi direction ye.
2. By Train
- Countrylink perates two daily rail services from Sydney, with connections from Melbourne and Canberra.
- Queensland Rail has services from most centres in Queensland (inilah train yang JM naik untuk ke Brisbane)

Menarik tak?....ye memang banyak tempat menarik kat Brisbane ni sebenarnya tapi kurang famous di kalangan backpacker kan.
Let's go ikut JM ke Brisbane. Ini adalah story sambungan dari entry yang lepas di mana kami dah sampai di hotel tapi belum boleh check in, so kami ambil keputusan untuk menghabiskan masa di Brisbane. Bagaimana nak ke Brisbane dari Surfers Paradise tu?..Oh tidak perlu bimbang kerana seperti biasa JM akan bagi direction.
Direction to Brisbane City from Surfers Paradise by train :
1. Tunggu bas di stop 14 - Surfers Paradise. Bus stop yang memula sampai tadi. Camna nk ke sana..ikut jalan yang datang tadi cuma rah berlawanan..itu pun nk tanya ke ehehehe
2. Kat bus stop tu ada waktu operasi untuk weekdays, saturday dan sunday dan semua route dan no bas akan di senaraikan. Boleh rujuk dalam gambar dibawah.
3. Untuk ke Brisbane boleh naik train dari Nerang Train Station atau Helensvale Train Station.
4. Jika naik bus No 709, stop at Helensvale Stn
5. Sekiranya bas No 745 atau 740 sampai dahulu, bas ini akan stop di Nerang Staion. So either one nak naik bus yang mana satu coz kedua-dua train station tadi boleh pergi ke Brisbane
6. Sampai sahaja di Nerang Sation, dapatkan dahulu jadual perjalanan bas terakhir bagi memudahkan waktu balik nanti.
7. Beli tiket ke City Central - boleh beli di mesin dengan menggunakan cash atau just touch sahaja Go Card pada entrance gate (either one)
8. Naik ke Platform 2 arah ke Airport/Brisbane City
9. Stop at City Central Station
Tepat jam 12.40pm kami naik bus no 745 untuk ke Nerang Station dan tambang adalah AUD 3.08 . Apa yang boleh JM katakan di sini public transport mereka memang on time, jika dalam timetable tu state bus 745 will arrive on 12.04pm....bus tu akan sampai on time.
 |
| Nampak bus route and timetable tu - take note nanti senang nak gerak |
1. Bagi memudah dan melancarkan perjalanan, JM nasihatkan agar buat note jadual perjalanan bas, sebagai contoh kalau nak ke Dream World, dapatkan No Bus dan Waktu Perjalanan sebab esoknya korang tak perlu tunggu lama di bus stand. Kata kan bus akan sampai dalam jam 10.15am so adjust time supaya dalam 10.10am korang dah terpacak di bus stand tu.
2. Print out bus route seperti gambar di bawah. Boleh dapatkan PDF file ni dari laman web http://www.surfside.com.au/documents/gagweb16DPS.PDF.

Tepat jam 01.29pm tren sampai dan nampak tak suasana dalam tren tu lengang je...time kami tunggu tadi pun tak ramai orang. Perjalanan ke Yeerongpilly agak membosankan kerana kelajuan tren ni bukan seperti bullet tren tu like KTM jugak nasib baik dalam tren ni ada WIFI free heee. Seperti JM jelaskan sebelum ini walaupun cuaca panas terik tapi udara nyaman dan sejuk je seperti berada dalam aircond. Kalau kat Msia jam 01.00 - 02.00 pm jangan harap nak keluar jalan santai-santai macam ni...bepeluh den.
Hoyyeee dan sampai di Yeerongpilly Station, bergambar sekejap coz perlu bergegas untuk naik bas ke Roma Street. Tak perlu risau bus memang akan menunggu penumpang untuk ke sana.

| At Yeerongpilly Station - nko ambik gambar aku...aku ambik gambar ko..ini lah kekdah nya kalau travel berdua..mesti nak ada gambar kenangan kan. |

Fee :
1. From Central to Roma Street Station : AUD2.63
2. From Yeerongpilly to Nerang Sation : AUD13.08
3. From Nerang Station to Brisbane : AUD3.08
Sampai sahaja di hotel, terus check in dan bawak semua luggage masuk bilik, bersihkan diri dan sediakan makanan dari bekalan yang di bawa dari Msia. Nasib baik time ni JM 'off' so tak perlu risau kalau tinggal solat..SHhhhhhh heeee.
Total cost summary : AUD50.72
Total cost for day 1 : AUD54.68 + AUD50.72 = AUD105.4 (RM316.20)
End of day one dan separuh hari di Brisbane. Nanti kan ke mana JM pada hari ke 2.
