Brisbane just great, says Daily Mail ahead of British Lions rugby clash GREAT CITY: Brisbane has a laid-back approach to life, says The Daily Mail. PIC: Tourism Queensland Source: Supplied THEY might hate Australia, especially during their British Lions tour, but the Poms have taken a shine to Brisbane. The Daily Mail newspaper says the Queensland capital will richly reward those who make the trip Down Under. Sport is big business here, but then, so is eating, drinking and relaxing. It is a young city in every sense, with enthusiasm for a night out on the town and a laid-back approach to life," the newspaper said. The article, by Jenny Coad, went on to describe the weather, tourist attractions including koalas, City Cats and floods - and noted that visitors could swim at South Bank without being eaten by sharks. It also said the city was "notoriously safe," remarking that "possums are about as bothersome as Brisbane gets." To read Mail Online article on Brisbane during the British Lions tour, click here.
