As New Zealanders grapple with high interest rates, stubborn inflation and general economic downturn, job losses have begun and more Kiwis than ever are leaving for good.
Why Brisbane? I was there once. It was hot and muggy and generally unpleasant. I don’t remember having a great meal there, I don’t remember seeing anything particularly spectacular. Just seemed like a hut and muggy city.
Melbourne OTOH was dynamic and fun and had spectacular food.
I didn’t get a chance to visit that brewery. In fact the only brewery I visited in Australia was the little creatures in Fremantle which was in a large building like a warehouse. Good beer, good food but not a place you go for some peace and quiet that’s for sure.
You’d be surprised how many Kiwis have fled to Brisbane. Not a recent trend by any means.

But Brisbane at least has the Felon’s Brewery right under that bridge. Really nice location that.

I’m the son of one of them. Mum came over to Brisbane in the 60s. She married an Aussie bloke and lived on the West Island the rest of her days.
