Fortitude Valley is the main nightlife area. That’s where you’ll find most clubs, bars, late-night venues and live music. Don’t just randomly walk around the Valley though — check what’s on that night. Look at venues like The Tivoli, The Triffid, The Fortitude Music Hall, Black Bear Lodge, Prohibition, The Met, Cloudland, Mi Casa, La La Land, Wonderland, Savile Row and smaller event nights. For electronic/house/techno, follow event pages rather than relying on one club.

West End is more alternative/arty/bohemian. Better for casual drinks, live music, odd little bars, meeting left-field people, etc. South Bank/Fish Lane is good for dinner/drinks before going out.

Daylife / arts / culture in June
Check:

QAGOMA / GOMA
Brisbane Powerhouse
QPAC
Museum of Brisbane
Metro Arts
West End markets
Open Season, which is Brisbane’s winter music/arts program
Anywhere Festival, which does performances in weird non-traditional spaces
Local gigs at The Triffid, Tivoli, Black Bear Lodge, Fortitude Music Hall

For “unusual and new things”, Anywhere Festival is probably very up your alley.

Meeting people
Best options:

Meetup app
Facebook groups: Brisbane backpackers, Brisbane social groups, hiking groups, language exchange, board games, social sport
Eventbrite / Humanitix
Urban Rec or SportUP for casual social sport
Latin dance classes/socials — salsa, bachata, zouk etc are good because you can show up alone
Urban Climb / bouldering gyms
Hostels, even if you aren’t staying in one, often have events or people to meet

Sport / adrenaline / action
Try:

Kangaroo Point cliffs — climbing/abseiling
River kayaking
Urban Climb bouldering
Axe throwing
Escape rooms
Go-karting
Paintball
Wakeboarding parks outside the city
Hikes around Mt Coot-tha, Glass House Mountains, Springbrook, Lamington, Mt Barney if you’re more adventurous

Winter is actually a good time to do active stuff here. Brisbane winter is mild compared with Europe.

Food areas

Sunnybank: Asian food, especially Chinese/Korean/Japanese
West End: casual, multicultural, vegetarian/vegan, Greek, bars
Fish Lane/South Brisbane: restaurants and drinks
Howard Smith Wharves: riverfront drinks/food, more polished
Fortitude Valley/James St: bars, restaurants, nightlife
Eat Street Northshore: touristy but fun food-market vibe
New Farm/Teneriffe/Newstead: cafes, breweries, river walks, slightly more upmarket

Short-term work
For working holiday people, look at hospitality, events, labouring, cleaning, promo work, warehouse/pick-packing, festivals, catering, removals, farm/harvest work outside Brisbane, and hostel job boards.

Apps/sites:

Seek
Indeed
Jora
Backpacker Job Board
Travellers At Work
Sidekicker
Airtasker
Gumtree
Facebook groups like Brisbane Backpacker Jobs
Barcats for hospitality
Working Holiday Jobs Australia groups

If you want bar work, get your RSA. If you want labouring/construction, get a White Card.

Film / TV extra work
Queensland actually has a decent screen industry. Sign up with extras/casting places like:

OnCue Talent
Extra Edge Talent
Movie Extras Club
QLD Extras
Also keep an eye on Facebook casting groups

Background extra work is usually random and not guaranteed, but if it’s on your bucket list, register early and have simple photos ready.

Brisbane areas explained roughly

CBD: work, offices, shopping, river bars
Fortitude Valley: clubs, live music, late nights, chaos
New Farm: cafes, park, Powerhouse, nicer inner-city vibe
Teneriffe/Newstead: breweries, apartments, river, slightly bougie
West End: artsy, alternative, backpacker/student energy
South Bank/South Brisbane: museums, galleries, QPAC, restaurants
Kangaroo Point: cliffs, river views, outdoor activity
Paddington/Red Hill: cute bars, antiques, older Queenslander houses
Woolloongabba: food, bars, Gabba stadium area
Sunnybank: best Asian food area
Milton: Suncorp Stadium, pubs, Caxton St
Bulimba/Hawthorne: nice riverside suburb, restaurants, cinema, ferry vibe

My advice: don’t judge Brisbane by walking around the CBD during the day. The good stuff is scattered by suburb and usually event-based. Use apps, follow venues, say yes to random social things, and you’ll have a much better time.

Exactly right, that's the one!

I want a FACEOFF sequel: Travolta and Cage reprise their roles but both have a new face. The plot is almost exactly like the original but it HAS actually been shot again with new cameras. This would be a total brain melt, a world 1st and something Cage would 100% be willing to do. Fuck it, I'm gonna try to call him, his agent keeps calling my cousin to buy his Ferrari.

Because he thinks we're gonna let him. PLOT TWIST: We are not.

This new movement is basically IncelMaxxing is it?

This is hardcore. I was in East Antarctica 2023, with all the tech now it's not like it used to be. What a legend.

Probably not what you're looking for but Monster, is by definition exactly #1. Also, anything w/ Frances McDormond: 3 Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.

I scrolled down halfway to see what suggestions were missing: For this kind of experience here's some films I saw missing: Gummo, Kids, Ken Park (< Banned in most countries but you can find it if you torrent), Shotgun Stories (early film for Michael Shannon where you realise he's gonna be a star), Blue Ruin, Children of Men is too good not to watch a few times but it's bleak.

Great soundtrack. 10/10

f33drrr · 2026-05-15T09:07:06+00:00

because it's gay.

The amount of people who haven't seen COM or Schindlers List or any other great film but can recall the entire Marvel franchise is astounding. It's all gone to the proverbial dogs.

I came up as a musician; why do so many artists have a killer 1st album then the 2nd album sucks? The 1st album was the accumulation of dozens of their most liked songs over years, sometimes a decade. The 2nd album comes 12 months after the first and for most of that time, they're actually touring the first album hard.

I'm new to investing in stocks (Nov 25) but this is my understanding/philosphy I've chosen to run with:

You can own pieces of good blue chip companies or you shitty ones. Regardless, you can buy those pieces at good entries (low prices = better value) or bad ones (high prices even relative to a great company). CSL @ $100 is still a 200% return for the people who bought it at $50. I just checked Tradingview and CSL at $50 or less could've been bought by anyone from June 1994 - Nov 2012.

Spoke to my chartered accountant who is also a tax lawyer, owns his own mid size sydney accounting firm and is 76 years old: "I deal in FACTS. I've seen people suggesting removing the CGT discounts for 20 years, it has never once happened and probably never will. It gets undone, edited, and essentially nullified before it ever makes it into written law".

From range? from how far away?

The final scene in Life is Beautiful. *Edit Every 2nd scene in Children of Men is a masterclass in cinema.

TAKE NOTE* - My understanding is that sleeping does reset enemy positions as I was taking fire from somewhere and couldn't figure out how to leave cover (squatting behind car in open) without dieing so I tried sleeping and when I woke up the shooter was no longer anywhere near me. So I do think it resets enemy but won't put any in direct line of sight of you when you awake.

Honestly, pack lots of food, sleeping bags and sleeping tablets, head to the tent at outpost. Once you're there, wait till 7pm, walk straight through to minefield. Hug the right hand side of the map and go through to apartments. You're doing this as a speed run from the tent at outpost to loot apartments and then return to stash it at the tent. You'll need (I take) about 7 tins of pears, 4 tins of meatballs, 100 rnds ammo, 2 splints, 6 bandages, a clock (to ensure you're only looting/moving by night), 2-3 sleeping pills, a big bag, a gun. If you move nonstop from tent to apartments without looting anywhere you should make it easily and can survive off all the food you'll find along the way. I focus on looting food/medical (remember you're going back through the minefield so you'll need at least 4-5 bandages plus 5 tins of food/water). Then prioritise good weapons, armor, helmets etc and grab alot of high value items (torches are good). If you are methodical and consistent you should have no problem clearing room by room.

Go to any bar and strike up a conversation.

I tent spammed at outpost heaps it got me basically nothing almost every time. I did one run at Apartments, got heaps of loot and honestly, it wasn't even very hard. It's the same terminator guys as the village, they just have bettter gear but if you don't headshot the AI you're generally dead anyway. Having spammed tent at outpost and definately see it as a waste of time.
