Das Eigentum — La Vida on Anzac
La Vida on Anzac is a straightforward, budget-conscious stay in Brisbane's leafy suburb of Holland Park. The lobby feels more like a functional motel foyer than a hotel – tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a vending machine. It suits travellers who just need a clean bed and parking, close to the city without the South Bank premium. The USP is the price: you get a room, a pool, and off-street parking for significantly less than inner-city options.
Chroniken von Brisbane
Brisbane began in 1825 as a penal settlement for repeat offenders from Sydney, built on land occupied by the Turrbal and Jagera peoples. The city shed its convict past in the mid-19th century, evolving into a colonial port and, after Queensland's 1859 separation, the state capital. Its low-rise, tin-roofed character was transformed by the 1970s and 1980s boom that brought high-rises and the Queen Street Mall. Today Brisbane is a subtropical metropolis of 2.5 million, balancing its laid-back river culture with a growing appetite for galleries, live music and food markets.

Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Brisbane
- Cross River Rail (Brisbane's biggest transport project) is causing subsurface closures along the CBD's Albert Street tram corridor until late 2026; check TransLink for bus reroutes to South Bank.
- Brisbane Airport's new parallel runway (opened 2020) has cut delays, but the airport is still 15 km from Holland Park – budget 40 minutes by rideshare or Airtrain to Roma Street then bus.
- June 2026 is in the tail of the city's dry season – expect clear skies but cold mornings (6-10°C). The 'Brisbane Festival' doesn't start until September, so June is quiet for events.
