Brisbane Blog
Welcome to the Brisbane Blog. If you're on holiday in Brisbane, or if you live here and you've got some free time on your hands, you might be wondering about what things there are to do.
The Brisbane Blog lets you know about free, cheap, fun or exciting things going on in Brisbane: meetups, roller derby, burlesque, music, cult movies, local artists, anti-censorship protests, plays, and film festivals, just for a start. I especially like to promote Creative Commons in Brisbane.
