We remain the ONLY capital in Australia who doesn't offer one (except Darwin) The free services in place are set up for the business end of the city and aren't really useful. Perth even offers free bus travel on any bus within the boundary of the CBD. This service would make it easier to acces our major tourist attractions at Southbank, and could connect with ferry stops for new farm park. It should also include Kangaroo Pt cliffs area.

Oh Wait... What Brisbane needs is a big ugly expensive ferris wheel that has a view who’s only redeeming feature is that you can’t see a big ugly ferris wheel from it.

Oh Wait…

We could have it in a corner of the city botanic gardens, if only small it would encourage more families to use the gardens and transport systems that we have in place. A city zoo like Taronga.

The closest you get is an hours drive north or south and all privately owned.

The B09 Under The Radar is not a Fringe in the sense that the Adelaide, Edinburgh, Toronto, etc etc Fringe Festivals are. Under the Radar is part of the official Brisbane Festival, curated by the powers-that-be, full of interesting stuff but not the kind of mayhem mixed with magic one gets at a genuine, uncurated, madcap happening that results when the artists themselves just rock up and make it happen. So what are you waiting for, Brisbane? Venues willing to host independent, fringe theatre for little or no cost? I can assure you, they do exist. Contact me...
