I’m Australian and born in 88. I’m really curious where this is. Is this the Brisbane City beach? Being born in Melbourne and participating in the inter city warfare between Melbourne and Sydney, it took me too long to realise how beautiful Brisbane is.
If you hate the cold (like I do, my physical health suffers greatly in the cold) check out Brisbane. An absolutely gorgeous city, quiet (relatively) and lots of nature.

South bank parklands was industrial wharfs (it's where my FIL parked his Kingswood to go work in the city) and then a huge urban blackspot which was rejuvenated after expo '88 into a self funded, self managed not for profit parkland. A lot of the expo sculptures dot the city, not the least of which is Stefan's lighthouse in West end: he conned a property developer into letting him park it there, it stayed so long council scheduled it as a local monument and pradella had to build around it.
