Hi Emma,
I'm not in Brisbane any more, I'm up in Tully doing my farm work on a banana farm. I had fun in Brisbane though, there's definitely more to do there than meets the eye. As for work in Brisbane, I can't really comment as I didn't work while I was there. I've not done the east coast yet either, going to do it on the way back down but it's a great time to be up north if you do go for it. The weather has been great up here!
