Publishers Description: Bribane - Portrait of a City is a comprehensive digest of Queenslands capital city in all of its subtropical splendour. Its texts, pictures and captions give what a very friendly resident would proudly provide in person in a show and tell trip to a first-time visitor. The citys colours from the brown river to the blue skies and from the green forest to the golden sands are reproduced faithfully in an attractive, easy-to-read publication. Sections take an overview of topics such as the Brisbane River, the city and its old and new buildings, the relaxed lifestyle of its residents in the city and its sprawling suburbs, the city and the arts, its essential industry, its place in the world of nature, and of course its surrounds including the famed Gold and Sunshine Coasts and hinterlands. A special feature of its 320 colour pictures are its panoramic scenes - about as close as modern photographic equipment can get in two dimensions to one pair of eyes. Within its covers lie some of the reasons why Brisbane is the centre of one of the fastest-growing regions in Australia, and why more than 800,000 people call Brisbane home.
