South bank, Brisbane

Brisbane is the (very clean and modern) capital of Queensland State. The Brisbane river twists and turns through the city. Just like Ottawa, there's a bicycle path on either side of it, with a pedestrian/cyclist bridge that connects the two banks. I've been here 3 days and can see why this is the fastest-growing city in Australia: a bustling economy, wide highways, a semi-tropical climate and (by driving an hour North or South), hundreds of kilometers of the most pristine, perfect beaches I have ever seen (and I've seen a few). Here's a photo of the Arts Centre and Queensland State Library on the South bank of the river (photo taken from the pedistrian bridge):
